Hi all,
Don't mean to monopolize everything, but have one more quick question
for now--What exactly makes some yarns end up looking fuzzy when the
job is completed? Not with pills, just all fuzzy. What kinds of yarn
do NOT create this effect? I plan to shave off the pills with a razor
blade or rotating blade I have for sweaters, but I'd rather not have
to deal with them again. Thanks.

Shave off ,, NEVER ,, take a turned Masking tape and slowly go very
close to the knitted piece , it will collect the things you don``t
like which aren`t attached wel to the knitting , but it won`t harm the
knitting !!! mirjam

I have this little pibk, battery-operated razor that is made
specifically for that. It is tedious, but it works.

Higs,

what yarns do you use? fuzz can have a few different causes.
anything with mohair in any percentage will "halo" (get a
fuzzy look). alpaca tends to halo as well.
any loosely spun yarn is prone to fuzzing. poor quality yarns
use mixed staple fibers & will fuzz, shed & pill.

Well, let me put it this way...what are the best yarns to use that
will not make that fuzzy effect? I'm talking about "regular" yarns,
not ones that are supposed to be lovely and fuzzy like mohair.

And thank you mirjam--I will use the masking tape instead. My rotating
shaver just "died" completely anyway! LOL!
