Correct - any yarn labeled "superwash" has been specially treated so that it will not felt.

I agree with Melissa, I immediately thought Wool of the Andes. I am knitting with it right now working on IK Fall 2007 (or 2006, can't remember) Sierra Caridgan. LOVE IT. Totally reminds me of Cascade. I am doing it in Tidepool Heather which is a beautiful blue/green.

Have you taken this yarn out into the sunshine? A beautiful golden color just pops right out of it. Beautiful.

I received my color cards last week for gloss lace and a few others. The colors in the catalog and on my computer screen do not do justice to the real thing. The colors are beautiful. I can't decide which ones I'll buy but buy I wil.

Do the color cards come with all the new colors, even the ones that won't be in for a few months?

The gloss card has 12 colors. The elegance has 12. The swish dk has 20. Some of the cards I ordered will not be shipped until sometime in May. I just supposed the new colors for the other yarns weren't ready yet. Just guessing.

The color cards will be updated with the new colors. This takes a little bit of time to make, as the yarn needs to be produced first, then the color card.

All of the new yarns look absolutely fabulous. I recently "stocked-up" on my yarns from Knit Picks. But I will have to try some of these.

I also just saw the new "samplers" and am very excited about that too.

Why would anyone shop for yarn any where else?

The new sampler kits are so helpful. I just ordered all three! It's great to sample some unfamiliar yarn but also I love the idea of the color themes. More please!
