Life's a Stitch

As if Wollmesie wasn't enough.

I'll fess up. I first saw this merino/slk in Denmark, however the price was too high even for souvenir yarn, about $32 for 100 gms. Regretting my decision, after returning home I found it online for half the price. Hmmmm, I thought, must be the difference without the VAT. It arrived eight days later. Notice the label – 540 m. The other side says 100 gms. 

Happily knitting, this yarn is like a laceweight version of Silky Wool. Working on Chart B of the Flared Lace Smoke Ring:

Something is not right. I hate that feeling, well into a project. I weigh the blue skein in its entirety. 50 gms! A knitting oh s**t moment. Consulted the website, did I miss the fine print? Yes I did, the price stated is for 50 gms. I honestly don't remember seeing that bit of information.  And why does the label say 100 gms? Lost in translation?

The good news, farther into the project, with the aid of a scale, as it's a lacey pattern I'll have enough to finish. The bad news is that I'll have to change my pattern plans for the blue skein. Not so bad.
