Color is one of the things that can affect a yarn's loft. I've seen
ombre with the different colors along the strand of yarn giving
different sizes to the yarn! But in that case, the white part was the
thinnest.
What is harsh in the skein may not be after it's been knitted up and
washed. Red Heart acrylic, for instance, can feel very harsh (and
stiff) in the skein and as you knit, but after it's been through the
washing machine and the dryer, it is soft and drape-y. Different
manufacturers use different amounts of different "sizing."

Good to *SEE* you, Carey, and glad we both still have our "warped"
senses of humour!

I ask people what they like, and I knit dreams. The asking is very
important .
No moods here. I knit the best fabric that I can. In cold weather I knit
wool. In summer, I knit cotton or linen or hemp. If it is just decorative, I
knit lace or open work. It is not loose, it is lace.
Nobody dreams of "Depends". One may have nightmares about them, but not
aspirations. (For those who missed the pun, see http://www.depend.com/ )

Just popping in occasionally. Haven't been doing much of anything except
going to new job full-time days on Sunday and nights Monday-Thursday, then
going to work part-time mornings Monday to Friday. My car, the offices, the
bathtub and my pillow are about the only things that I've been seeing much
of lately. Haven't even put any stitches in a pair of socks I was working
on in about 3 weeks ago, (I think they were almost done) though I have just
received a package of coned yarn I ordered for the knititng machine(which
hasn't been used in MONTHS!!) The few spare moments I have, I really do
enjoy "listening" to everyone here.
TTFN,
Carey in MA
