Simply Knitting

I wrote to Simply Knitting because they leave a vital piece of information out of their patterns-the yarn fibre content. The response I got just shows a lack of understanding of our craft, imo.

Hi Colin

Thank you for your email. Currently we do not list the fibre content on every pattern as this can be impractical in terms of space, especially when lots of different yarns are used. However, this is something we will certainly look at in the future.

Best wishes
Debora

interesting, especially since most other mags do. And it really helps when thinking about substitutions so that you would know that characteristics of the yarn.

Let me guess, they list requirements in terms of balls? Without bothering with weight or yardage.....
