I'm through skein 7 now and EVERY skein has had at least one, and usually two, knots in it. One even had three. We're talking about 91 meter skeins - not a lot for that kind of knottage. Good for you for doing something about it. Mr. Denecke should consider his reputation when dealing with things like this, but if you follow the Cashmerino kerfuffle (among other things he's been involved with,) apparently he doesn't give a damn.

Heh. Heh heh. The photos speak for themselves, though. It's atrocious. Irresponsible. Crap.

That should be enough details for the Noro rep. I'm feeling like a Noro boycott is in order. I really don't understand how the manufacturing process could mean that there needs to be knots in HALF of their skeins of yarn. Maybe they keep all of the good skeins in Japan and ship us the crappy skeins, knowing we will buy them anyway. Boycott, boycott, boycott! Wow! That should be enough details for the Noro rep.

Deb (Fearless Fiber Friend), it would truly be GREAT if all he wanted was a single ball of yarn or one photo but something tells me that isn't what he wants...we'll see. Anne, I think what happens is that we use the Noro for something that we think will be GORGEOUS with the yarn, we select it, purchase it and then start the project, then we encounter the KNOTS and then bow to kill it off...we don't use it for months and months and then that special project comes out and you think of a great Noro color to make it out of, forgetting the terrible trouble you had the LAST time you used it and then the colorway mesmorizes you so you try it again and BOOM knots again...its a vicious cycle I tell ya ;) yep Anne, your right, there ARE plenty of yarns out there….*looking over my shoulder* I have been accused SEVERAL times of single handedly sustaining specific yarn companies heehee kidding of course.

Yes, it is a precious ball of Noro, but I think the photos together with just one example is all that's requested. Now, I do totally agree that there is something outrageous about their feigned ignorance to the problem, but maybe, just maybe we should call off the plan to cut off Mr. Deneke's balls (I mean, balls of yarn, of course! ooohh ... pardon me! oops). Anyhow, I'm totally with you all on this. Just don't want to see you tear your hair out over this or worse yet, send off ALL of that yarn with no promise of replacement or refund! - Deb aka Fearless Fibers Hey there Anne and KnitSpot friends:
