Here’s a tantalizing preview of one of the samples I’m knitting for INKnitters. The yarn is Berroco Lullaby. It looks like unspun nylon filaments worked into a tape. Thank goodness, the tape does not unravel from the cut end.
I like the colors, but the tiny fibers catch on every little rough spot on the hands, during and after knitting.
My friend Hazel Stansfield from the Hallamshire Guild of Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers in Sheffield, UK, gave me this hint or something very like it to get rid of rough spots: Mix sugar and olive oil. Scrub your hands with the mixture. Rinse, dry, and knit!
