I know I can't tell a worsted yarn from a woolen yarn, so I googled it. Turns out worsted means what you said (a certain preparation technique in which long fibres of wool are aligned parallel to each other end to end) and, in addition, a certain spinning short-draw technique and, of course, as knitters know, a certain size or weight of yarn no matter how prepared or spun. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worsted helped me parse all this out. But in Britain, "woolen" mills can make "worsted" fabric and I still can't tell one from the other. Thanks for shedding light on this! Really, you did! Someday I'll get it straight.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880924689933562278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707021605394151966.post-1687470066666902242012-03-07T11:31:04.533-06:002012-03-07T11:31:04.533-06:00Oh my gosh they wore kitten heels!
