My cursed socks have passed on the curse to yours, I'm so sorry! What a bummer about the yarn. I guess that's the problem with dyeing, you're working with someone else's product, and when you ship it out, you're only responsible for part of the quality. But at least the yarn really is supposed to be soft and squooshy and pretty, and getting more is not a recipe for more disappointment. Hmmm... let's be scientific about this! Buy enough yarn to get a decent sample size and see if you're really satisfied... --The Dreadful Enabler Oh, no! My cursed socks have passed on the curse to yours, I’m so sorry!

You with your problems with this pair and me with my problmes with my PineTree, and now similar problems with my jay walkers. This is not good. What can be done to change our mojos? Grace,
