I had a BlueSky Alpacas silk and alpaca lace cowl that I NEVER wore - it was strangely prickly on my skin, even as it was soft. Your post means a lot - especially considering that you are a designer of knitting pattern software! Cool!

I can vouch for the effectiveness of your recommended strategy - both by "virtue" of some of the disasters I have knit, as well as the successes. I would add one more thing - hold the yarn next to your neck or whatever other part of the body will be touched by the finished item. I actually put the skeins around my neck and "wear" them for a few hours. This has helped me now be honest with myself when I will be too sensitive to a yarn, even if it feels incredibly soft to my (hand) touch. Sadly, it has helped me confirm that I absolutely cannot wear alpaca - sad, sad.AdaKnitshttp://www.greatknitdesigns.comnoreply@blogger.com
