I have to say, although I am not as experienced a knitter as you, I totally agree with you about the Calmer. I couldn’t find it locally and I heard so many great things about it, so I ordered a bunch of it, some of which was going to be used to make my dad a hat (he’s allergic to wool).
I had to rip out the hat about 5 times before I completely gave up on this yarn. It behaves like no other yarn I have ever worked with…my gauge was totally wacky, it was sticky and splitty (like the plies would unravel as I was knitting it??) and stretchy but like too stretchy? Anyway, I hated it and ended up swapping all of it online…I want to love all things Rowan, but I just couldn’t stand working with this stuff.
