Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Is some of that there wool with Swarovski crystals embedded into it - sounds lovely - and a snip at £75 a skein (50g I think).

I’ve not seen it - only heard about it - but I like wool (cor never eh?) and I like Swarovskis so the two together… Whoowoo!  I am tempted to google it but am afraid that if I actually see some on a website selling it I would do something terrible like order some.  Then Hubby would be chopping my arms off atthe shoulder!!

There’s others I like but that one sounds amazing.

So come on everyone - what’s on your wish list for WHEN we all win the lottery??

Tilli Tomas has stuff like that. You can look at some fab expensive yarns at http://www.foreignstrand.com
i bought some Buffaloo last year at Woolfest and Im still totaly in love with it

will risk a look at the link you posted Silvi - may have to sit on my hands tho!

I suggest you DO!!!! It is sooo tempting and expensive. Hope the link works as at moment the page won’t open for me

No to be honest I couldn’t open it either - but I will try and go to it direct.  Maybe Oli’s tweakings yesterday have bu**ered up our links!

I think there’s something wrong with the site because I can’t go in from my homepage or by typing the address in the bar…

Think hubby warned them? LOL

hi all

you get it from artbeads.com and they sell it by the foot not the ball. all types are over $1.50 a foot.
might wait till i see some cheeper
joyce

Thanks for that Joyce.  Being as its in Dollars I might risk a look cos I wouldn’t buy it in Dollars!  I don’t think....

That sounds nice Leigh,if i won the lottery i would buy a wool shop for me and my mom so we have the wool and patterns there ready to help ourselves to and of course my friends on here would be all welcome to come and help themselve to free wool and patterns as much has they could carry.If only,we can dream cant we?

I saw some lovely stuff at the Knit & Sew show in Birmingham a while back.  It was a wool/silk (I think) blend with a strand of real silver twisted in with it.  Beautiful, really beautiful - can’t remember the price (it was a while back!) but I think it was about £15 or £25 for a 50g skein.  Gorgeous stuff, really soft and glittery.

I might have to see if I can find it again and do a hat/scarf or possibly cuffs/neckband it - don’t think I could afford a whole garment!

When and if i win the lottery(if only i could)

Umm know that feeling well!  IF I mention winning the lottery to a friend who owns the wool shop near me she says “ooh you can buy this shop if you win!!!” I think the reality of owning a wool shop outweighs the dream of it!

I think I saw on Rav that Foreign Strand was closing down, maybe thats why you cant get into their site
she was having a sale but only on her blog and I cant remember the address, sorry :-(

Why thanks Lois at least it solves the mystery of why we can’t get on the site!

As much as I would love to own a shop full of scrummy yarn I think a bit of homework on what makes it sucessful would be called for. That is my excuse anyway for touring round the UK and maybe USA visitng all those lovely shops I see advertised in the mags. Then of course you would have to by samples of what yarn you would like to stock in your dream shop.
Do you think I dream of this often??????
