Wanted: A Good Home For Some Lonely Yarn


Congratulations to Redford Phyl!

I had the best of intentions when I bought this. It was going to be a sweater for Goldisox. Unfortunately there were two fatal flaws:


  1. He hates the color


  2. 1300 yards ain't gonna cut it

So here it is in all its glory, looking for someone to love it the way I loved it but now don't even want to look at it. (Was that a sentence? I should be ashamed.)


Anyway here are the particulars:


10 skeins Sirdar Highlander


Shade 079 - Dye Lot 213 (it has a decidedly yellowish/ochre cast that doesn't show up in my photo)


131 yards/120 meters - 100 grams


70% wool - 30% acrylic


Made in Wakefield, England


I am a big fan of Sirdar Highlander and Sirdar Nova.


Stake your claim in Comments. Anyone from anywhere can (and just might) win. The winner will be drawn through our patented trademarked RNG Tuesday morning. Good luck!

I'll throw my hat into the ring--the short person can use a sweater, and with that much wool, I should get it done in time for him to wear it! Lol! (Short person is now 6 months old....)
