Yep. This answers the question "What will they think of next?" I truly could not believe my eyes when I saw this yarn in the craft store the other day. It took my mind a few minutes to grasp that this was really what it says it is. I picked it up, looked both ways, then gently stuck my nose in the end of the skein. Oh please, you would have too! I didn't stop there, either. I smelled all the ones they had in stock: powder, chamomile, aloe, rose petal.

So, these are very lightly scented- not overpowering at all. I just can't help but wonder about this, though. I mean, how did they do this? Will the scent remain once the yarn has been washed? Will people really buy these for the smell? I DID purchase the aloe, but only because of the color. I couldn't really smell that one anyway. What do you think of this craziness?

I know, it's a bit strange, isn't it? I have the same questions as you. I guess it's just a gimmick to get more people to try their hand at yarn crafts. Like you, I wouldn't gravitate towards it at all, unless I needed that specific color.
Well... as someone who has to be a bit careful around perfumes etc, I would be a bit concerned about the chemicals used and the effects they would have on us 'delicate skinned' individuals / babies etc... I think I would rather smell of my own perfume...:)x
It is very strange. I have problems with wool, scents and have very sensitive skin.
Please let us see what you make.
Eermmm.... LOL .
This has cracked me up :o)
I would have had a good old sniff too Jennie :o)
Surely; Surely; most surely the smell will wash out straight away?
And more importantly, do you pay more for the smell? :o)
Thankyou for bringing us this one :o)
Hope you're all having a fandabby time! i keep thinking of you all :o)
Take care now :o)
xxOOxx
From what I can tell, the scented ones are only 20 cents more than the regular cotton the same size.

I'm so glad I gave you a giggle!
I figured I couldn't be the only one who hadn't seen these before. I will report back on the aloe once I make something. Perhaps the scent is just to benefit the crocheter/knitter? I have no clue, but I'm going to make something like a dishcloth and wash it and see what happens...
