As soon as I posted the picture of my beautiful fluffy yarn, people had questions...Is it as soft as it looks? YES...Is it roving? NO...It is more like a brushed boucle yarn. Is it very difficult to work with? Surprisingly~NO...You get to use a large hook, and it seems to glide very smoothly, without a lot of snagging.
I was fortunate enough that I didn't make mistakes this time, so I didn't have to test the difficulty of frogging, because I have a feeling that will be more difficult~lol...I also used the wrong side as the right side, and brushed it lightly with a soft bristle brush, so all the fluffy fiber was free to show all it's glory :)
So, do yourself a favor, and grab up some of this amazingly fluffy yarn! You can make some pretty awesome gifts at a very good price, cause this earwarmer only used about half a cake! You can find it here...
