SKD Drops Design FabelKnitted a wee swatch of this for thermal...then thought..ok, if this is meant to be a sock yarn and my feet are not as soft as my neck.....BUT fear not...4 hours of the swatch tucked in my neckband, under a bra strap and no itching/chaffing. Roll on thermal

 You do make me laugh Jackie But you're right you've got to be sure it's not going to irritate

Well...after moving around like Ricky Martin when John put bio washing powder in machine that washed my/familie's underwear...you cannot be too careful. Seriously...bio wash powder is the pits and some wools make me feel as if i'm being rubbed down with a brillo | ||

I seriously fancy doing Thermal in this too...seeing as I have no 4 ply in stash!!  The price is amazing too at £1.50 a ball!! What colour were you thinking of going for Murdo?? A coloured or a plain?? I like 300!

| murdo |
543!!! Blossom. It is lovely and soft.
John selflessly offerred to swatch in against his skin...I presume he wasn't offerring to wear my underwear............ |

Just watch him Jackie - I'm getting a bit worried
|

| murdo |
I know...wearing his kilt in Tescos was the first sign.........(anyone want to bet on how long it takes the Pirates to spot this and grass me up to Daddy!!!!) | ||

Are piratepurls aloud to read pm's Jackie - just in case they don't spot this......... |
||
| murdo |
Nope...they don't get pm's. Joy...you are a naughty woman...don't push me of i will have to share your groupie status for men signing songs of doom and destruction in pubs near Welshpool...but as you know I am too disreet to mention such things...... | ||
| pictish |
Yeah you're in serious trouble now I think The PPs will be getting some serious bribes I think  Tho I remember a time when John himself came on a forum ....... That really freaked me out thinking of all of our DHs reading our posts

She moves to a Croft and in one story a neighbour, on hearing she is short on underwear, makes her unfitted/unshaped bras made from good Scottish Tweed!
I nearly wet myself laughing while reading these books.

If you're lucky

Oh Jackie your secret is safe with me! Or rather I won't tell if you won't
Gilraen - bras from Scottish tweed - my mind boggles! |

That's a lovely zingy colour Jackie...you are much braver than me! I have some Fabel in 674 which is a lovely purple colour...but I think I'll go for the plain browny colour 300, then I can ear a funky cami underneath!!
@ John and his selfless requests!

That is a lovely colour - I love the look of Thermal but would never finish it 
|

| murdo |
To maintain marital harmony and show just how manly John is (is this grovelly enough?????) Here he is in bloke attire...with not a bra strap in sight

| melody yarns |
Am I right in thinking that he's wearing the world famous shorts there then?
|
||
| Blossom |
Jackie....well wouldn't want you being down there all alone!
|
||
| murdo |
Yes...this is onee pair of the identical set of world-famous-it-aint-half-hot-mum shorts...... Blossom...I can tell you like living on the edge
John wants me to make it known that, for a small fee, he will open supermarkets/new DIY stores and will sign photos of himself wearing said shorts |
