I haven't yet used my coaster but expecting it to felt slightly under hot mugs which will be fine. Still have some Tamar in my stash awaiting some projects, so not sure whether I'll also get Tin II at Yarndale, but will definitely have a good look at all the colours and that may sway me.Blithe Spirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212500567025366169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345409957048753840.post-87985958445323424662016-09-17T18:13:49.148+01:002016-09-17T18:13:49.148+01:00I really enjoyed reading your review of Cornish Ti...I really enjoyed reading your review of Cornish Tin II, it's such a great feeling yarn isn't it. Your crocheted coaster looks great, does it get sheepy when a hot cup of tea is placed on it...just wondered as when I rub my knitted swatch rather furiously there is a definite waft of sheepiness. I know what you mean about the difference between crochet in acrylic and wool...even when I just use tapestry wool (not the softest woolly yarn known to man) there's such a pleasing change in how the stitches look and how the colour blends rather than jars...I've got an acrylic blanket that is almost finished but this year of wool knitting means the love for it is rapidly fading.<br />Sadly I can't go to Yarndale (the only pennies in my purse are tiny little copper ones) but please go give the Blacker stall a huge hug from me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
