Rogue, Take 2
Well, here’s what I decided on:
I wanted to do it with some really high quality wool yarn, but I just couldn’t find anything that I liked, that wasn’t going to put me in the poor house. I feel weird about using Wool-Ease, but that would just be my yarn snobby-ness coming out full-force. It feels quite nice, actually, and the chance of my being allergic to it is very slim.
Plus, I made up for it by purchasing some lovely Noro Silk Garden at Skein in Pasadena. It looks sort of garish, but that’s the flash. It’s much more subtle in person.
Of course I discovered upon returning to Phoenix, it’s $3 cheaper at the Fiber Factory, and $5 cheaper on Ebay. I had to buy some more on Ebay to have enough for this. I guess it kind of balances out, right?

I used wool-ease chunky on a sweater for the Lt, and it came out really nice and VERY warm! The only thing, it pills something awful where there’s a lot of friction on it, so get a good fuzz-buster.
