I have to confess that I am not a fan of the Boodles. You can't guarentee that the colours will match (and they differ in extremes). There are knots throughout and there can be huge differences in thickness. Lastly, I also found that the hank size can differ greatly but you are paying the same price. From a friend who used Zpagetti she said it was much better quality. Now that I have rambled on here is a link to the pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mandala-rugKarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506204385632150016.post-87695469054853490932015-01-13T07:28:40.943-08:002015-01-13T07:28:40.943-08:00Hello!

Ive just bought some Zpagetti for a pattern that cslls for Boodles and am now, after two goes at it and then reading your post, thinking that wasn't too smart of me!<br />Do you have a link to your pattern by any chance? I'd love to have a go and then compare notes with you to see if the brand really makes a difference. <br /><br />KatieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562813311853487773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506204385632150016.post-61901645964691724302014-02-04T01:25:38.725-08:002014-02-04T01:25:38.725-08:00It wasn't half, lol.

She will definitely be delighted. I'll pass it on (and they do make the best soup just don't tell my mum I said that).<br /><br />I haven't been out that way in ages. Will have to rectify that.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8506204385632150016.post-13175453008853327292014-02-02T16:52:19.213-08:002014-02-02T16:52:19.213-08:00Hi Karen, I love the idea of the rug but that must...Hi Karen, I love the idea of the rug but that must've felt like crocheting with a clothes pole! It is good to hear reviews of particular yarns especially the unusual ones and to keep that info for later projects. <br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment and please do let your friend know how much I enjoyed the hot chocolate AND how touched I was that day. My tummy was warmed by the scrummy broccoli and cheese soup and by the chat with the staff and their gift certainly warmed my heart. <br /><br />The shop of interest is a great place and this was my first time in there too. I picked up a card for a friends leaving do and it was one of those fabulous 'couldn't be more perfect' ones which she was delighted with. Finnieston really seems to be developing a character of its own. RedSetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273883309628093072noreply@blogger.com
