Second chance

Celtic Cove have found another 6 balls in the same dyelot & they've apparently passed the 'pull' test.

I nearly frogged the lot last night as I was so annoyed - glad I didn't now. However this has put me off Noro for now & I doubt I'll buy it again.

Watch this space....

Daisy said...: Phew, hope these balls work out OK. I made socks with some Silk Garden and pulled it around quite a bit with no problems. Maybe it was just a weird batch?; 5:02 pm, May 19, 2006

Alison said...: Glad it's sorted out! The only problems I've had with Noro is knots where it must have broken in process linked with a different part of the variegated "pattern"! It looked OK. I think you definitely had the friday aftrnoon batch!; 8:54 am, May 20, 2006

I don't think i'd use their stuff for knitting a large garment or anything, but I coped with the bag felting.; 7:39 pm, May 20, 2006
