I went back to Poundland to see if I could get some more of their new yarn which has a 20% wool content. I was cautious when buying my first batch as I did wonder how well it would wash but there were absolutely no problems; mind you I only washed my newly made pair of socks using hair conditioner, by hand, so it's yet to be put through the 30 degreees machine wash as recommended on the label. I prefer to wash woollen socks by hand anyway so I decided to go back for more. They didn't have the colour I wanted - a very dark, almost black grey, so I didn't buy any but I'm hoping this wool will be around for quite a while, as it's nice to be able to finally find a chunky yarn that I enjoy using at a price I can afford. All those large scale chunky patterns that would have proved to be too costly are now one step nearer to getting to the top of my 'to knit' list.
