Have you swatched it? It will change so much after washing and be much softer. That looks like a mountain of yarn (if the ball winder used produces the same size that my winder does). <BR/>If you really don't want it would you be interested in selling it?<BR/>thanks,<BR/>sondaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11632761.post-1168551521619123952007-01-11T13:38:00.000-08:002007-01-11T13:38:00.000-08:00I recycle cashmere for my own use and I've unravel...I recycle cashmere for my own use and I've unravelled everything from Pringle to TSE to costco to qvc's label. You know what? You can't go by the label, I've seen some very expensive brands with so-so quality and some very cheap brands with great quality. By quality I mean softness, strength, non-pilliness, just general yumminess. Try stranding the colors together to get a marled effect. Or mix with another yarn too if the blend is still ugly. By all means knit it up!<BR/><BR/>I can see why you might be disappointed if you paid a lot for the yarn but it is sure to be much cheaper than store-bought. <BR/><BR/>Happy knitting and I love your projects! <BR/>Sonda, a knitter from alaskaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11632761.post-1117036184651190782005-05-25T08:49:00.000-07:002005-05-25T08:49:00.000-07:00Hold on...you mean that the yarn literally comes f...Hold on...you mean that the yarn literally comes from an unravelled Costco sweater?! Oy.<BR/><BR/>I would multi-strand it and make a fabric-edged crocheted baby blankie. Unless it's too ugly for a baby. Wait--maybe you could make it for an ugly baby.<BR/><BR/>I'm just sayin'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
