This may not be the case if you have super sensitive skin.<br /><br />I like Madelinetosh, Malibrigo, Dream in Color and Cherry Tree Hill. I use yarns like Noro for outwear since they are very itchy to my very sensitive skin.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839208010062227913noreply@blogger.com
