Jaeger Matchmaker DKI have a bit of this in my stash and I want to make some simple everyday jumpers - now I have strangely never made anything in this wool and I just wondered how it wears. And is it really ok to put in the machine like it says??

Did you use the Jaegar in the end Pictish  I've got a whole load of the matchmaker DK in various colours and enough pink to make something worthwhile but I have heard reports that it goes bobbly quite quickly

I haven't as yet I hope that's not true about the bobbling  as I have loads of it  I'm a bit surprised tbh since it was such a classic and was around for so long you would expect it to be ok.

Sirdar Country Style goes really bobbly with my garments though I'm sure how and where I wear them is a factor!

Oooh! that's interesting to know Deb, I did wonder what the country was like once knitted up.
Pictish I'll knit a swatch over christmas of the JM and chuck it in the machine, see what happens and report back

I think I'm just really heavy on sweaters ansd cardies as shop bought ones bobble too. So I tend to keep old ones for kicking about the house in and better ones for work
