    About

    I tried knitting the ‘Frost’ sweater but somehow following the pattern my front turned out 4’ longer then the back, so I switched to the top down ‘Flax’ and now I’m addicted to it.

    Sadly the yarn I got, that looked wonderful, but has so many issues and don’t think it will survive being used. It has these hard fibre bits and straight up tiny hay bits literally spun into its wool, cotton and Llama blend. Not to forget the long black human hairs I found too, there must be a bauld woman working in the factory and the yarn pulls apart so easily a cheese stick has more strength. It should have been called ‘factory floor’ in my opinion, because the sweepings must have been used to make this yarn.

      Oh poor thing, I’ve had yarn like that and it’s so annoying, it was may scrapings from the factory cat wound into the wool along with the human hairs lol 😂
