can wool become brittle over time? would lack of proper care cause the fibre to weaken? old age? is wool just like people?i tried to save the aran sweater, i really did. alas, even gentle tugs on the yarn caused it to snap like an 85 year old's hip on an icy day.
the only way to save this sweater now is to make it into a pillow cover. but it doesn't really fit into our design aesthetic. anyone want a slightly scratchy aran pillow sham?

Oh my god! That is the saddest thing ever. I know how much it pains to lose a sweater that you have been hanging on to for years because you loved it so much that it was no longer wearable, but can't bring yourself to get rid of because its so gosh darn special. Your aran sweater was like the velveteen rabbit...but then you mutilated it. How could you?!
it was that or burn it out back. heh.
i can send you the pieces and you have love it to death for me. hmmm, maybe after-death since it is now offically dead dead dead.
