It may pill with frequent use and washes, so be ready to shave! The only reason I don't use it much is it tends to be squeaky on the needles. Your experience may also vary depending on how old the yarn is. The newer acrylics are definitely better than the old 60's and 70's stuff my grandma keeps sending me from her dead friends.ShannonAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567407389096387778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6586797048532909420.post-35660241020243053282007-04-15T06:53:00.000-07:002007-04-15T06:53:00.000-07:00I agree with Lana.

Maybe a shawl of some kind would look nice in it? Or a lace-type cardigan?Rilanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715295176000952426noreply@blogger.com
