Just to let you guys know that Martha's airing a yarn show. As part of it, I think she's going to the Lion Brand factory to have designers show how they come up with new yarns. Just an FYI to set your DVR's if interested...
I can go for the Lion Brand Wool Eze. It's not all that bad. I can't manage the all synthetic stuff however. They do have one that's 100% wool too I think.
I've used Wool Ease on a couple of projects and I think it's OK. If it's used on an afghan that doesn't get used or washed that often and it's been fine. I recently made a rug out of some of the leftover afghan yarn and it's already starting to get fuzzy just from regular use and it's only been a couple of months. I haven't used any of their 100% wool.
