Does anyone have experience with this yarn? I'm in the instant gratification stage of knitting at the moment--IOW, I don't want to have to spin the yarn just now :) Not for two projects I have in mind right now, anyway. I want to knit a pair of traditional-style Fair Isle gloves, at 8-9 sts/inch, and I want to make a shrug (anyone have a good pattern) for my neighbor for her 70th birthday next month.
I'd like to know how soft Jamieson yarns are--I know, that's a matter of perception and sensitivity :) But I figure if most people say they're fairly soft, then it would work for the shrug. I'm not much worried about the gloves. Then, looking at the listing in the Woodland Woolworks catalog, there's the Jumper Weight and Spindrift yarns, listed with the same yards per ounce, but a different range of colors. Does anyone know what the difference is between these yarns? I thought perhaps one was worsted spun, the other semi-worsted or woolen. Finally, I'm not going to invest $20 in a color card for what will probably be just one project. I was wondering if anyone has a color card and would be willing to answer a few questions about specific colors for me. The reproduction in the WW catalog is great, but no color picture is ever much like the real thing. Now I'm off to the Jamieson website to see if I can get some of my questions answered there :) Holly also knitting a sweater for HERSELF!!!!! in handspun Shetland from our flock. The last sweater for me was back in 1980, from an old Needlework for Today magazine, a simple tunic. I sure liked that magazine--kind of the US version of Burda's Anna, though not nearly so in depth of course.
