As someone who is in the handspun yarn business I'm always sad when I'm checking out google and see blog post from people who claim to be having trouble knitting with handspun yarn. This is what promoted me to write my earlier blog post on knitting with hand spun. Now if you haven't been living under a rock you've probably noticed that the "thick and thin " or big chunky single ply yarn has been " in vogue " here lately. My first pet peeve is that giant balls of roving wool keep being listed for sale on Etsy as "chunky yarn". I Think this is a shame because a novice knitter could buy this and try to knit one of those giant yarn blankets out of it and then be out a lot of money and very sad when it starts pulling part due to the fact that it has no twist and is not actually yarn. Secondly this really muddies the water for those of us actually in the yarn selling business if that's what people now think chunky or bulky yarn is.
