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

Now there's an idea.....race the Wetherby 10k and get yourself, possibly a PB and definitley a free ball of wall

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.

Random colours is great for those yea. Also for random coloured square blankets....! My mum knitted a huge one from random bits when we were little.
