There are other reasons I don't love this yarn that have nothing to do with the obvious color issue. It's pooling like nobody's business. I think it's because of the short runs of color. That's another thing to watch for in the future.
My final gripe with this yarn has to do with the fiber itself. I've never had issues with superwash yarn before but for the first time I understand the complaints that some people have. This just isn't as soft as other yarns I've worked with. It feels just a bit plastic-y. No a happy thing.

The only thing that these two yarns have in common is that they're both being used for great patterns. The Mad Weave is a wonderful design full of nifty detail. It's well written and a pleasure to work. This luscious lollipop is being used to make Kiila and so far I like this pattern very much too.
Wow, those ARE bright. I hear you on the pooling thing. I'm knitting a pair now that are pooling like mad. It doesn't really bother me but it sort of does.
ReplyDeleteWow. If you can knit a pair of socks from screaming neon, I should probably just put on my big-girl pants and knit a pair with the green yarn that has me pouting...
ReplyDeleteoff to add another pattern to the queue
ReplyDeleteThose ARE bright! I'm with you on the pooling - I don't mind a little pooling, but get very frustrated with a lot of it. The pattern is pretty though :-)
