Do you remember that song from Sesame Street? It’s the truth when it comes to purchasing power. I belong to the Yahoo Yarn Co-op Group, and until now, have resisted that buying power. But when they offered Fleece Artist yarn from Canada, so no border/customs mail order problems, I gave in. As I wind it I’ll post my rainbow of Fleece Artist bargains.
This was the burgundy colourway, appearing a little lighter than in reality.The lace weight loopy mohair was $15.00 CDN for what was supposed to be 2200 metres. I’m sure it’s more as there are three more balls that came off my winder. The other, a dk weight, smooth mohair was $22.00 for at least 1000 metres. If you think of it in terms of the typical 100 metre skein, that’s $2.20 per skein, and it’s hand painted luxury! The next co-op for March will be Peace Fleece. I won’t be in that one, having blown the budget on this one, but maybe you’ll be there. Have fun.
Thanks to all for your kind wishes and comments earlier this week. We are more realistic about the situation or least our ability, or lack thereof, to influence it. We had a nice dinner with future son-in-law, where he very sweetly expressed his intentions. He is young, but a decent guy.
