I want to knit me sweater and i saw this yarnhttp://elann.com/productdisp.asp?NAME=elann%2Ecom+Peruvian+Highland+Chunky&Season=&Company=&Cat=ALLY&ProductType=5&OrderBy=&Count=35 today on a great price but i need to know if is soft or itchy,i hate itchy wool.
nobody knit whit that…?
I have not used it. Sorry I can’t be of more help. Looks like nice yarn though.
I had asked about this a long time ago too and didn’t get much response. Someone had linked a review of it though… it has been so long i don’t remember where but either craftster or knitters review sticks out in my head and based on the review i decided against it. I seem to remember pilling problems maybe? or super itchy? i am sorry i can’t be more help but maybe checking the review sites will work. I can’t do it from here because work blocks most anything (sssshhh… they haven’t found out about y’all yet! :hiding:) that could possibly be not work appropriate (umm… except YouTube. :shrug:)
I think it’s supposed to be softer than Wool of the Andes, but not real soft. I haven’t used it either, but the bag sale really has me tempted. Though none of the colors I’d really like are included…
I heard that it pills quite badly. Too bad cause the price is right! I guess that’s really a case of getting your money’s worth.
thank you all,i think i will just find some other yarn to make me a sweater:)
