No time for a “real” post today :doh: but wanted to check in anyway. I am still happily :knitting: away; most of it during plane rides for Thanksgiving. I’d like to throw out a question…does anyone know of a super soft, superwash, super drape, wool (it doesn’t have to be wool, but it does need to be washable, mostly wool and 4 spi gauge)? A friend of mine over at KH is looking for the “perfect” yarn. Please let me know if you have any yarn ideas I can pass along to her.

Lionbrand Wool-ease comes to mind. It’s available in several weights too.

I recommend Lamb’s Pride Superwash Worsted Bulky.

First…4 sts/inch on what size needle? Because you can force any yarn to 4 stitches….but you probably are looking for something like Karabella aurora yarn, either the aurora 8 or the bulky. I knit in a really laid back way that some lovely knitters call “loose.” I don’t care for that label very much, Ha! who would? Anyway….I knit the Aurora bulky up at 4/inch. It has lovely drape and shows amazing stitch definition.
