While Raptor Knitted Socks by Night Dec 2017 9:56pm, 18 Dec 2017 37,316 posts	Quote Pin While Raptor Knitted Socks by Night I made around two inches of a jumper, decided that I hated the hand-feel and the erratic thickness of the yarn, frogged it, and sold it on eBay along with the other balls I'd bought. I'd had the bright idea of mocking up a Kaffe Fassett design using two contrasting Noro Silk Garden colourways to get a similar effect to faffing around with bazillions of little bits of yarn.

jabberknitmas Dec 2017 9:50am, 19 Dec 2017 1,925 posts	Quote Pin jabberknitmas I was also underwhelmed by Noro - I bought some out of curiosity, but didn't like the feel or picking bits of twig out of it.
