Behold the Wonders of Wool

September 30, by Sarah White. 3 Comments

we love woolNow that it’s almost October (if you can believe it) it’s high time to start thinking about fall and winter knitting and maybe even (gasp) holiday knitting.

It’s a great time of year to be a knitter, isn’t it?

One of the best things about fall and winter knitting is getting to knit with wool, which many of us love quite a lot.

Yarnspirations has a great list of reasons to love work with wool, including ease of blocking and other finishing tasks, warmth, of course, and the fact that hand washing really isn’t all that scary.

My main reason for loving wool is that I am always cold and wool makes me less so.

Why do you love wool? Are you knitting anything with wool right now? (I happen to be working on a giant, super bulky wool roving cabled scarf that I’m sure I’m going to want to live in as soon as its done.)

    I love the squooshieness of wool, and the wonderful subtle ways it takes color. Oh, and it stays warm even when wet. Yeah, and warms up so quickly. Oh, Wool, I love you so!

    I love the variety available – soft soft wool, chunky warm wool… natural coloured, hand-dyed… love!

    I like the warmth of wool. I have three shawls using superwash wool on the needles right now.
