Araucania Nature Wool

[pageta]

I used this wool to make my first soakers since it was the nicest wool I could find in my LYS. It works okay, but I must say, it get's fuzzy very quickly. My soakers look old and yucky and we haven't used them that much. They're also getting felted in the areas where there is more wear, such as the crotch. I'm hoping for better results with the yarn I've gotten online such as LTK and Bartlett's. Anyone else tried this yarn?

LTK is a HUGE thumbs up here. I have two pairs of longies (from the LTK pattern) that I knit up for a friend in a trade... and then she sent them back to me when her little person grew out of them. The yarn looks WONDERFUL!!! Sure, there is some wear to it, but it still looks great!!
