I love wool.

I've knit with many different fibers: cotton, silk, nylon, even
bamboo. but my favorite fiber is wool. there's something about it that
just feels *right* - wool begs to be knit. simple patterns, beautiful
texture, complex colorwork, intricate cables... wool can do it all. I
feel like knitting with 100% wool is... pure, in some way. tried and
true. warm & cozy. springy and squishy. I even like the wet wool smell
of a freshly soaked pieceof knitting as it's being blocked.

I love wool!

  2. I just feel like wool is perfect! even the scratchiest of wools is right in its own way :) I'm not gonna argue with MCN though - delish!
