Years ago when you did that stocking cap for Knits Magazine I had do make it. I ordered the kit and quickly made it. Now it is my favorite type of knitting. I like the Jamieson and Smith since it is authentic for the patterns but it seems like it takes weeks for me to get it when I order it. So alot of the time I end up using knitpicks alot.

How about Satakieli (sp?) from Finland? Also, Scottish Tweed from Rowan. And Alice Starmore's new yarn. I'm knitting a pair of fair isle socks with Lorna's Laces sport weight yarn on size 3 needles and the stitches are behaving nicely with this yarn. Right now I'm liking the Finnullgarn the best (I'm almost half way through my Christmas Lights Tam! Its very fun to see the colors and pattern change and grow. Second runner up for me is Harrisville because the texture of the yarn is very consistent, but I do like the Shetland colors the best. Wow, I did not realize Finnullgarn had that many colors!
