Knitter's Review
July 8, 2004
|
 Why do we always try to improve upon nature?
A case in point is the Optim technology developed by Australian wool producers to stretch merino fibers thin and fine enough to rival cashmere. But does the stretching do more damage than good?
This week we look at Optimum, a new yarn produced using the Optim machine, to see what all the fuss is about.
In the Boutique: Shipping Sale
I'd like to join our sponsor this week in offering a reduced shipping rate in the boutique. Through July 14th, pay only $2 shipping on all orders.
Fall Retreat
The third-annual Knitter's Review Retreat will take place November 5-7 in Syria, Virginia. Weekend spots are almost booked, but there's still plenty of room for Saturday visitors, so learn more and register to join us.

How do you figure out how much yarn you'll need for a specific project?
