I would love to work in wools and wear it too but I am allergic. So buying it already made in a nice neat little package for my sewing machines that I can handle with gloves works the best for me.

You're right it isn't hard if YOU CAN, I unfortunately cannot.
I was on may way to being a fiber artist when I helped my friend with her Angora goats. My arms broke out in blisters within 20 minutes. It was awful, I cried. I had to sell my lovely Angora rabbit trio I just brought home.
Kudos to those of you that can work with it, I'am envious.
