Many, many good wishes to you and your family.<br /><br />Why not make a scarf from that qivuit yarn? It's soft (probably too soft for socks) and VERY warm - something that could be properly appreciated in Scotland, I would think. <br />-- stashdragonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-27381311983728900522013-08-17T17:26:41.238+01:002013-08-17T17:26:41.238+01:00There's a good article on pooling in the new e...There's a good article on pooling in the new edition of Twist Collective (free on line) which I think you'd enjoy.<br /><br />I agree that the cake is amazing and am glad there was a wonderful gathering!<br /><br />From a long-time lurker and very faithful reader,<br />Elaine in NYC Elaine in NYCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-87253756978542551402013-08-17T14:24:47.142+01:002013-08-17T14:24:47.142+01:00I'm surprised that a quiviut sock yarn even ex...I'm surprised that a quiviut sock yarn even exists. It's an extremely short fine fibre (like cashmere only more so) and I would have serious doubts as to its durability and washability, even if it's blended with something else. That said, any socks knitted from it will be very soft and VERY VERY warm. I'm curious as to whether your yarn is a product of Alaska or Canada.Ruth in Ontario, Canadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-39400758384835034712013-08-17T09:06:43.783+01:002013-08-17T09:06:43.783+01:00I was once given just enough Qiviut to make a book...I was once given just enough Qiviut to make a bookmark. It was soft. It was interesting but I wondered what the fuss was about. Prudence Mapstone had some of the sock wool for sale at the craft fair last year. I was working for her but neither of us managed to sell the last remaining skein. (She had only imported six and said she was unlikely to bring in more.) Again it was soft and interesting but I would not have knitted socks from it. Anything that expensive needs to be seen properly.<br />The cake is amazing!<br />I have e-mailed you at the address on the side. catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
