[[Kake]] comments: I don't get on well with most man-made fibres, but I do quite like this stuff. It seems to leave a small amount of plasticky residue on my hands after I've been knitting with it for say an hour, but this isn't excessively unpleasant. My swatch was quite happy in the washing machine and the tumble drier, gauge didn't shift a bit. It can be a little stiff to knit with. I'm making [[Kake's Sirdar Wow Jumper For Doop\|a jumper for doop]] from it in black using a K3P3 rib, and in low light conditions the sheen sometimes makes it hard to distinguish the knit from the purl! I've seen a display garment done up in the Imperial Purple shade and it is <i>gorgeous</i>, incredibly vibrant colour. ---- <b>See Also:</b> [[Yarns]]
