Comments on: Episode 4 – Yarn Snobbery http://craftculture.danido.com/episode-4-yarn-snobbery/ A Podcast for Crafty Thinkers Thu, 05 Aug 2010 13:53:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=7372 hourly 1 By: craftydani http://craftculture.danido.com/episode-4-yarn-snobbery/comment-page-1/#comment-8 craftydani Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:42:53 +0000 http://craftculture.danido.com/?p=17#comment-8 I take issue with their calling it 'smooshy' thats all. I think it's a perfectly passable yarn and I actually don't mind knitting with it, but I bought it expecting a really lofty smooshy yarn and it's not really either of those things. I also found that it had a lot of bleed in the color when I soaked my finished project and even the next 2-3 washes after that. What started out as a really rich maroon ended up sort of pinkish. I know red is a hard color to set, but I guess I expect more from a big company like they are. Again, it's a fine yarn just not my favorite by far. Glad you like the podcast so far and thanks for asking a question I could actually answer! :) I take issue with their calling it ’smooshy’ thats all.

I'm curious though, why don't you like DiC Smooshy (re: comment in the show)? I have a skein but haven't ever knit with it before, so I'm just curious. Keep up the good work!
