Once it isn't cold anymore, I lose interest. I got nothing for ya about the yarn. I’m glad you added about the beers – I rarely finish one either. Once it isn’t cold anymore, I lose interest.

Even the small bit shown in the progress pic is uber-lovely! It appears the battle was well worth it. Even the small bit shown in the progress pic is uber-lovely!

Beer does wonders for the patience, right?! I changed my mind... i think i'll buy some from a shop that will wind it for me, even though I have the equipment at home. Let someone else have the headache! The shawl you chose is on my ever-expanding-to-knit list. Beautimous! Congratulations for your winding success! Beer does wonders for the patience, right?!

I like the idea of it better than the actual taste, unless it stays freezingly cold. Good for you in getting the job done and I agree about ordering from places that accept returns. The shop should be dealing with Malbrigo NOT YOU! You drink beer like I drink beer. I like the idea of it better than the actual taste, unless it stays freezingly cold.

I knit Seraphim from Handpainted yarns, which is very much like the Malabrigo. No felting at all. I love it. The color is gorgeous, can't wait to see the FO!

My opinion is that since the yarn is already slightly felted, it'll be LESS likely to felt in the finished object. Rowan Felted Tweed and Debbie Bliss Aran Tweed are both yarns that are slightly felted. They can be felted further, but with normal use, I believe they're no more likely to felt than any other 100% wool yarn. What do you guys think? -elizabeth I’m going to reply to Karrie, but I thought I’d respond here too, so that maybe you all can chime in because she asks a good question.
