Def. a personal choice. The Austermann Step yarn has aloe and jojoba oil in it, so that's why it feels like that, it's intentional. I'm enjoying knitting with mine.

I love the colorways you've chosen so far--they wouldn't ever jump out at me at the store (I'm too busy being hypnotized by the greens) but now I'm gonna buy me some brown and orange yarn--it looks GORGEOUS on your feet! Of course, I should probably knit up the yarn I just bought up in Denver first! :P stupid yarn--so much slower to knit than to buy.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815257688140051746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5830707556862820228.post-35688754686963030442007-04-24T05:44:00.000-07:002007-04-24T05:44:00.000-07:00Gorgeous socks.
