Ahh, so having random colours is better Mikuro? Thta's useful to know then, as the wool I have left is quite a random assortment, although there are a few bags of same colur/brand etc. The bulk of what we had was sold to raise money for Clic Sargent though :-)

I'd be interested in smooth yarns in predominantly natural fibres and no heavier than aran-weight :)

But I've got a stash that's threatening to take over the house, so other people first.

(Apologies to anyone here who was bidding on the hi-viz Lorna's Laces wool on eBay ... I think I may have paid over the odds for it, but my highest bid was only *just* high enough and my collection is incomplete without a skein or two of that particular brand.)

Thanks Nicki, probably the non-fluffy stuff. I'll bring my book so you can see what I'm going to attempt, and if you don't mind me picking over what you've got...
See you later :)

If I was fit to race, I'd be doing the Lakeland Sportive, for which I've paid and everything. But eL Bee! told me last night that I wasn't allowed to go on a 50-mile bike ride in that weather when I can barely get up the stairs without having a stupid little coughing fit, and I am an obedient sort of wife. So he's gone to do something brutal with the club boys and I may venture out for a little walk later.
