I give up on the Lamb’s Pride Bulky. What a struggle at what a cost. Ten bucks a skein for what I’d estimate would end up a 5″ by 20″ strip, maybe 5.5″. Four to five more skeins would be needed–for something smaller than a baby blanket. A sweater would cost how much? Merino could be cheaper and easier to knit.

I’ve switched to [*shudder*] Paton’s Decor (only 25% wool; guess what the rest is) and it’s not that bad. Knitting-wise, it’s flexible, doesn’t feel like plastic and knits so much faster than the Superwash (which might as well be rope-grade cotton) and is washable. The remarkably uniform color does lack subtlety, but for the price I’ll live with it. And I believe the dogs are colorblind anyway.
