I bought 2 skeins of that a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to knit a couple of hats for charity and they want them to be machine washable and durable (and in my mind add affordable to the list, because that means I can make more to help from the same budget).<br /><br />And then I cast-on, and I actually like the stuff. <br />Does not pay toMsAmpuTeeHeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733762919331458954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19341251.post-9696563687764209732006-11-26T11:40:00.000-05:002006-11-26T11:40:00.000-05:00Brave indeed!!!!

One that is impervious to puke (who the heck is eating the birdseed?) and caffeine and lots of hair and fiber (which is hair but you buy it instead of being gifted it). And is machine washable and dryable.
