I have a few theories:<br />1) Because everyone knows wool is scratchy, so we must disprove that!<br />2) Because no-one wears a sweater for more than a season or two, so what does durability matter?<br />3) Because luxury is more important than practicality;<br />4) Because we are spinning and then knitting (or weaving, but I think more often knitting) as a hobby, and we only need a certain number of sweaters before the wardrobe explodes;<br />5) Because a lot of today's spinners don't actually think about the finished product when they spin. They want to make 'lovely yarn', not a lovely sweater...<br /><br />I'm sure I could go on, but ranting is rude, right?Alisonhttp://www.yarnscape.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
