| Overall Touch Me Rating: (4.9 based on 13 reviews) |
Rating:  (5 out of 5) |
| I've knit with yarns that worm before, and this is the best behaved, following Sally Melville's instructions for her minimal scarf to the letter. Knit on 8's, I had virtually no worming. I did tack the ends in with needle and thread after felting, and I did wash and dry the finished scarf as Sally instructs. The result is absolutely yummy, and because Touch Me colors are so gorgeous, this would make a special gift for anyone and well worth the price of the yarn. |

| I knit the "Minimum Scarf" from Sally Melville's Knit 1 Book. Initially I thought this would be a quickie easy project--but soon I was calling it the "scarf from hell." I had an extremely hard time getting and keeping a consistent gauge--much muttering and tinking. However, once I got my groove on this yarn was a total pleasure to knit with and once it was processed it created an unbelievably luxurious fabric. A sensual delight. I machine washed it on warm and dried it on warm--magical! |

| I've made a couple of scarves and 1 hat from this yarn. it's definitely a little tricky to knit with, but once you figure out how to handle it, it becomes worth it! I learned that it's better to use a smaller needles, as opposed to a larger one. Personally, i won't use larger than a US 10.5. I also try really hard not to handle the garment too much while i'm knitting... that seems to reduce the 'worming.' Finally, when i finished, i sewed in the ends but didn't cut them (i did that after felting). Then, i put the scarf (or hat) in the washing machine with towels and on the hot/hot cycle. I DID NOT put it in the DRYER. when i took it out of the washing machine, it looked like a wet dog - and took about 2 days to dry. the sheen returned after it completely dryed - and got silkier with age and handling! |
