I wouldn't mind commissioning it from you since the colors are so unusual in qiviut/qiviut blend yarns.Minniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986068854105837614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-65723391272105420002007-12-14T22:45:00.000-05:002007-12-14T22:45:00.000-05:00We charmed our yarn rep out of a ball of this, and...We charmed our yarn rep out of a ball of this, and I knitted a sock from it. <BR/><BR/>It feels much like Kureyon worsted in the ball, but softens with knitting, and feels quite acceptable on the purl side (which would be against the skin). <BR/><BR/>I suspect it will soften with washing, as well. <BR/><BR/>If you have problems with "regular" wool/nylon sock yarns, though, this one probably isn't for you. <BR/>At least not for socks. <BR/><BR/>However, I also did a swatch in Fair Isle from both ends of the ball, a la Kauni, which came out gorgeous.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070416465321962525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-52620268232890632272007-12-14T19:41:00.000-05:002007-12-14T19:41:00.000-05:00I love the qiviut blends but... what could one mak...I love the qiviut blends but... what could one make with just one skein?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-27384552751803566672007-12-14T11:05:00.000-05:002007-12-14T11:05:00.000-05:00I like the qiviut blends too.Do you know what the ...I like the qiviut blends too.<BR/><BR/>Do you know what the Noro sock yarn feels like?
