Archive of Thread: Yarn pilling / going bobbly Back

2 years ago
Just a heads up to people buying acrylic in the UK - I have been knitting with some 4ply acrylic on cones and it pills really quickly. 
I do have a rechargeable lint remover, and it works eally well. 
I don't know if I should say the name of the company here, if anyone wants to know please message me. (It's not Yeomans, or Yarn on cone) 
Also, the top I made in one specific colour has grown considerably, after just wearing it for a few days, from measuring 42 inches to 50 inches!!  
Sue,  I did swatch carefully, after washing and drying... But it seems to be growing more every day lol 🤣🤣

Hi Joy, I would like to message you regarding the yarn you mention. I"m in the uk and now find that wool really irritates my skin so i need to find a good reliable 4 ply acrylic. I don't want to have to be using the lint remover too often. Thanks in advance.
