Why is it that we want the things the most that are the hardest to get? It isn’t like I sit around and desire the things I can’t have but it seems that through the years, I’ve had an attachment to the things that require the most effort to get. I definitely don’t need another sewing machine but if ever I come across a decent deal on a Singer 301 or a Featherweight, I’m getting it . . just can’t pass it up.
Wollmeise yarn is another thing. Any time there’s a Wollmeise update, I’m snagging whatever I can get, even though I have more than I’ll probably ever use. Then there was Bugga yarn. It was so hard to get. Here’s a post from back in 2010 when the Bugga obsession was in full swing. As usual, I didn’t pay a lot of attention to details but the original company, The Sanguine Gryphon split or closed and two companies formed. One was Cephalapod Yarns and the other was The Verdant Gryphon. The Loopy Ewe carries a bit of The Verdant Gryphon’s Bugga and Eat, Sleep, Knit carried a Cephalapod’s Bugga and Skinny Bugga.
Bugga Yarn
Through the years, I’ve managed to collect quite a bit of Bugga yarn.

Yes, it’s an obsession. The list is longer. You’ve seen enough to know . . I need no more!
Only recently have I begun collecting Skinny Bugga. The problem . . I know you’re about to ask where I’m going with all this . . Cephalapod is closing and they’re the only ones with Skinny Bugga and I only have 2 skeins of Skinny Bugga . . in all of my possession . . 2 skeins!
Eat, Sleep, Knit is supposed to be getting in one last shipment of Skinny Bugga. Let’s hope I miss that notification! 🙂

I was sad to hear of their closing also. Right at the moment I’m working on a pair of Bugga socks and just love the yarn.

can’t say i blame you one bit for stocking up. The last time i did that i stocked up on fabric from a former designer for Moda. I bought yards and yards. i did finally use it all up, but when something you absolutely love isn’t going to be available any more, what’s a girl supposed to do!

I’m sad that Cephalopod is closing too….I love Skinny Bugga as well. I’m lucky enough to live pretty close to the studio (actually I live pretty much smack in the middle between CY & VG studios) and I will be going to the final Open House tomorrow morning to say goodbye and snatch up as much Skinny Bugga as I can get my hands on.
