Extra cost may be a factor. Also, I've noticed it's easier to manage hanks for storing, shipping, keeping neat etc. I never wind mine until I'm ready to knit, because a hank seems to take up less space than a ball.Tracy Batchelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137536258043194796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056012.post-1147429196019540092006-05-12T06:19:00.000-04:002006-05-12T06:19:00.000-04:00I think it's to do with not keeping the yarn under...I think it's to do with not keeping the yarn under tension. In a ball, unless very loosely wound the yarn's inevitably under tension which can damage it. Whereas in a hank, it's relaxed so it can sit around for as long as you need it to without being damaged. Something like that.Pig wot flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619021728297385585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056012.post-1147402039649786362006-05-11T22:47:00.000-04:002006-05-11T22:47:00.000-04:00We sell it at the shop and I agree it's edible!We sell it at the shop and I agree it's edible!Scoutjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178220856730339890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056012.post-1147399210810388732006-05-11T22:00:00.000-04:002006-05-11T22:00:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness, I touched some of that yarn at my ...Oh my goodness, I touched some of that yarn at my LYS last week. Pure heaven. They had a little shrug made out of it and I could not stop touching it. <BR/><BR/>I agree that the feeling cannot be explained. One must experience for itself. <BR/><BR/>I made my fairisle sweater with a 50/50 blend of wool and silk. And it went bleh when wet. It probably would have been better if I had made a smaller size to accomodate. <BR/><BR/>However I would think a shawl would be okay. Final size is not as important as in a sweater. I think it will be lovely! And just think of wrapping that around your shoulders.
