I am making socks on size 1 and they move the merino smoothly along they are flexible and have the best finish of any bamboo needle. I have used this brand of needle for years in a single point and I am thoroughly happy that I decidede to purchase these double points.Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:33:14 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1012 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1011I intialy bought this to make a quick pair of socks and because it was on sale. After working with it I came back and ordered more. The yarn is beautiful in color, handles like a dream and is sooooo very soft. Would not hesitate to reccommend this to anyone. Like the reviewer who said she was new to JBW it'd the best.Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:47:40 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1011 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1010I enjoyed working with this yarn, but it take a bit to get the hang of it. It is a fun ribbon type yarn and works well on it's own and by itself to make ruffles.Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:45:33 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1010 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1009I can't wait to knit a sweater with this yarn. Fabulous feel and runs through my fingers like it's butter.Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:44:28 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1009 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1008How can you go wrong with Cashmere? This yarn has a fabulous hand and is super, super soft. The yardage is generous and the colors are fantastic! I can't wait to get more!Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:43:08 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1008 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1005This yarn is wonderfully soft. I bought several different colors to use to knit as a Fair Isle scarf. The colors are yummy! I can't wait to get it done to feel the softness next to my neck.Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:02:15 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1005 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1004Addi needles are the best for quick knitting. I really like the Lace ones-they have a fine tip, yet hold the fine laceweight yarn without slipping. They are great! Worth the price as far as I am concerned!Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:55:00 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1004 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1002I'm a 50+ y.o. returning knitter. You know, mom tried to show you when you were younger, she was left-handed, you were right-handed...frustration and tears. So you never progressed much beyond knitting garter stitch scarves? Try this sock pattern and you will be amazed at how easy socks are! This is a delight-using a worsted weight makes the knitting go much faster. The instruction are clear and number of needles is kept to a minimum. The secret to knitting socks is read the pattern first, and then trust the process. Just do what she says and go for it! The only thing I do recommend is that after you turn the heel, shape the gusset and knit a few rows, you try the sock on-leave the needles in and slip over your foot. It gives you a better idea of how far to knit before the shaping of the toe. I did alter this pattern a bit. I had knitted the foot part and when I tried it on, realized that the toe shaping would have to be pretty darn quick. So I did decrease rounds each round, and when there were 24 stitches total, put the heel on one needle and the instep on the other and finished with the Kitchener stitch. There are plenty of videos on how to do this, choose the one easiest to you and finish your sock! I'm a huge fan of the KPS patterns-and this sock pattern is very nice. My husband's socks came out great and now I'm working on a pair for me.Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:09:06 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1002 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1001My granddaughters loved their hats made with this yarn.Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:30:49 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1001 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1000This yarn is lovely to work with. I am looking for more projects to use it again.Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:30:49 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=1000 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=999I have now tried this pattern twice with no good results. My in the round numbers don't come out even. I seem to grow or loose a stitch and I don't know where. The yarn is so soft but it splits too easy as I knit. I'll use this yarn on something. My advice don't try this pattern, its way too frustratingThu, 19 Nov 2009 01:44:20 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=999 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=998I bought this a while back, tried to use it with the recommended needles, got frustrated, pulled it out, cut off the frayed yarn and shoved it to the back of my stash. Last week I pulled it out, wanting to use it but not sure how. I grabbed my big old 17 DPN's and went to town. It was easier to work with, a lot, not as smooth as some super bulky yarn, but it still worked. I made one hat to show a friend and she asked me to make three more in the ecru. It is not the easiest yarn, but upgrade on needles size and be patient.Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:21:55 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=998 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=997Lovely, soft wool yarn.

It is soft and easy to work with and the projects go very quickly. Would like to know if this yarn is available in pastel colors.Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:32:55 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=995 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=994I love this yarn. Blue Sky Alpacas has a huge collection of soft yarns and this yarn by their line Spud and Chloe is my favorite yarn to knit with.Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:24:31 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=994 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=993I love these needles.

They're are super fast to knit with and I love that!Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:22:09 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=993 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=992Great to knit with, great colorsTue, 17 Nov 2009 01:12:57 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=992 http://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=991Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:12:19 GMThttp://www.JimmyBeansWool.com/secure-html/onlineec/reviewList.asp?rid=991
