There was a Wollmeise update at The Loopy Ewe last week and that’s one yarn I just can’t pass up. I love the tight twist, the color saturation . . the vivid, bright colors. I love the amount of yardage on each skein. So . . a whole bunch of it hopped into my cart and I checked out quick as a flash before someone else could cart jack me and take my yarn before I paid for it. Then . . I remembered I wasn’t supposed to be buying yarn. Darn it! 🙂
Yarn In
Wollmeise Pure:
- Amethyst Dark – 1
- No Whale Watching in CO – 2
- Mamba Samba – 2
- Clementine – 2
- Aurora – 2 (This was accidentally listed as Pure and it was Twin)
- Paul – 2
Manos del Uruguay Alegria
- Pindo – 1
- Feugo – 3
That’s 15 skeins added, and for the record, it’s 8,020 yards! Considering that most sweaters taken about 1,500 yards, and I can make about 1 sweater per month, IF no other yarn is purchased, I could be back in positive numbers by the end of June! Crazy!
On the used side, I just finished Brier Island and between the swatching and the sweater, I used 6 skeins of yarn. The problem is . . most of the yarn I added was 500+ yard and the yarn I used was 250 yard skeins.
Used this Week: 6 skeins
Used since 1/1/2014: 6 skeins
Added this week: 11 skeins
Added since 1/1/21014: 11 skeins

Wise purchase, if you ask me 🙂 Enjoy. You deserve it for making your loving husband those wonderful meals every day.

Gorgeous colors, especially the entire bag on the left (which are NOT colors I’d normally like, except for the purple)! Enjoy. I didn’t look, did this update include the Wollemeise price increase? I haven’t looked on the Wollmeise site either. Better to stay away.
8,000 yards, ouch! This is why I am reporting the yardage this year because there is such a difference in the put-up between fingering and DK/worsted skeins.

Awesome, what a score! Oh, I mean too bad you didn’t remember to not buy that yarn.

I have decided that stash reports without pictures are really dull. Sounds good huh. Luckily I am not far off the wagon lets hope I can keep it up. Love all the colors and can not wait to see what you make.

I’m away from home and can’t do my normal blog post, but I still have a net of 0 skeins used this year. So far, I’ve used everything I’ve bought in 2014. Next week I won’t be able to say that, though, because the 7 skeins I just ordered will have arrived. 🙂

Had to laugh when I read about the part of quickly checking out before getting “cart jacked”! I sent an order to Keepsake Quilting yesterday, after selecting the fabrics in the morning, I finally sent the order before bedtime-had to totally convince myself to order the 20% off clearance so I could order the backing and borders for a quilt that I have been procrastinating on for months! Hey, one shipping charge covers all and the discount covered one of the discounted items (such was my final thinking!) So, I am waiting for a box next week!
