Kind of glowy too. But I have only knit up one pair of socks (my first sockweight yarn pair) in Koigu. For me, that yarn is best for scarves and shawls. Ditto for Cherry Tree Hill. But maybe that will change. <BR/><BR/>Move to the Twin Cities - Koigu can be had here.Susan (ZenKnit)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12535475154420581871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17351693.post-1156174742369402942006-08-21T11:39:00.000-04:002006-08-21T11:39:00.000-04:00I wish I can explain it to you.

Maybe it's the colors or the way it looks when it's knitted, or the feel of it. Okay, I feel like I'm having impure thoughts. lol.

I was feeling unworthy to knit my Koigu too - but now that I started, it's all I want to do. I'm going on a yarn crawl tomorrow - the first store we're hitting always has a huge assortment of Koigu (and their web-site said they just got a new shipment of colors) . . .
