Snapping yarn
I've read on this blog of 2 other people reporting their Crystal Palace Cotton Chenile snapped. I was working on the round MD dish cloth and just finished a bobble and suddenly I heard a "pop" and sure enough it snapped in two. I wasn't knitting tight and was having no difficulty with the bobble. The chenile is soft and felt promising as I knit it but I'm reluctant to use this yarn again. Any good alternatives? I have lots left over but I'm not sure if I have enough to start over and finish a dishcloth with it. When I made one out of regular cotton yarn I noticed it used up a lot of yarn. Has anyone completed a chenile dishcloth who could say how much yarn was left?

I have a Reverse-Bloom washcloth on needles right now (and for the past several months), and I just can't make myself go back to it because I can't stand the way the yarn knits. It drives me nuts the way it twists and has no give. I love the look of it, but grrrr... I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with it!
I agree with everyone else. My Cotton Chenille snapped, and I was stunned! Especially because I had been struggling so much to figure out those bobbles! I am now attempting the pattern with Fantasy Naturale. Of coure, no comparison to the feel of the chenille, but it doesn't "pain" me to use it!
I hate this yarn. I don't like the way that it knits, and worse of all is the fact that it breaks every few rows...
I have to say that I love the feel of the skein and the feel of the knitted fabric, but it's so difficult to knit with.
