I'm very curious about your experience with this yarn. I tried a swatch, got exact gauge at 3.5 sts per inch on #10 needles. Then I washed it exactly according to manufacturer's instructions, in a little bag so it wouldn't get beat up in the machine. Disaster! The thing stretched way out, especially in width. My nice looking stitches ended up looking like loose string. Did yours wash all right? Did it stretch way out like mine did? Thanks for shedding light on this if you can.
