Thanks for maintaining the tradition of reviewing an extremely unusual novelty yarn. I can't wait to make a fine lace hankie using the yarn featured in this review.

I've got a stash of Flossie, I'm just waiting for my cinnamon needles to arrive!

I enjoyed the review. Clara sure does search out the most unusual yarns for us!

I do think a shopping bag made from Flossie would perform very well for years to come.

Great review! I am also psyched to know that Amazon is now carrying those tiny needles, I need to order some. Mine keep disappearing.

I happen to know that the Nutmeg Owl uses Flossie in almost all her lace projects.

Knit and let knit!

My father in law is always taking those little needles out of my bag!

I think I'll bring flossie for the estonian lace class I'm taking in May. I'm sure Nancy Bush will adore it.

Let me tell you, the abrasion test on this one was a real challenge. I couldn't figure out how to re-create your standard wear and tear. Someone recommended that I take a strand and slide it down between two very close objects. I did that repeatedly, rubbing it against each side of the close objects until they made a slight squeaking noise. Lo, sometimes when I tried to pull Flossie out, it shredded just a little.

FYI.
