What about Berroco Souffle? Not indie, but good old company.

LOVE her designs - the first garment I knit was The Dude for my husband and he loves it and wants another. Traverse would be perfect. If I don't win a copy of the book I'll certainly be buying one. I share your obsession with print pattern books and lose many hours browsing through them. I've never used any super bulky yarn but you can't go wrong with gorgeous Malabrigo. Good luck with your sweater!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703114715269792694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894179663818815705.post-22043508861240401872013-03-03T22:04:43.694-08:002013-03-03T22:04:43.694-08:00I love Plantago too, and I was excited about a Fle...I love Plantago too, and I was excited about a Fleece Artist yarn...but I wouldn't have thought of it if Sue didn't mention it. :) Great sizing info - I bookmarked it.<br /><br />Ann, I love The Line, and just popped in to see about getting the pattern/book.

The only bulky yarn I have knit with lately is Viking Balder, and they are all ragg (marled) colors, so don't know if that's something you would consider.
