- Geez, I was thinking I'd be doing my fine-spinning with wool (my fave), but
- you guys are telling me it has to be cotton or linen, no? I mean, if it
- goes on linens.... :-) I'm not sure I want to commit myself to knitting
- with linen -- I'm not sure I'd think it was fun to knit something so
- inelastic. Maybe I'll just frame it after all.... :-) Nice wool doily.....
