I've had a good Sunday. I woke up, painted, mended a blanket that mysteriously got a hole in it:
(I was going to patch it but I don't think you can tell where the stitch was, so I'm just going to leave it there.)
And... I dealt with this:
I wanted to clean stuff out of my Dad's house, since I don't live there anymore and it's not doing any good way up there. I got a BIG laundry basket of old clothes and miscellany; an under-the-bed tupperware of fabric; and these three containers of yarn. The entire trunk of my car was full!
So I spent the day sorting yarn into "Future Projects," "Misc. Arylic Yarn," "Misc. Wool-Slash-Animal Fiber Yarn," and "Misc. Sock yarn."
So... know anyone that wants some acrylic yarn? I'm not going to use it... pretty much ever. I just don't like the way that Red Heart looks when knit up, and I don't like the way it feels. Some other Acrylic, like Caron Simply Soft or Vanna's Choice, are ok... but Red Heart is just not soft enough for my picky hands.
I think I'm going to take the Misc. Yarn to my knitting group and give it away there, then maybe post some of the stuff here and see if anyone wants it!
You are not alone! Some one just gave me bags of acrylic eyelash yarns …I brought it to a friend who knits shawls for our church. She loves it all! I also have a friend at work who makes dog sweaters with it.
ReplyDeleteI cannot use wools on my sweaters, vests for myself and Im very picky about the acrylic/cotton blends I choose. Nothing like real wool for my feet though!
Good luck Someone will be thrilled with that yarn
