Kemps lucky dip

Has anyone ordered these?
There were 2 options, £5 for 500g or £6 for 500g of same colours and weight.
Did you get a good bundle?
Postage is expensive.

I haven't ordered any but on Ravelry there is a Kemps group and one of the conversations was about previous lucky dips - some people got nice stuff but many were upset that the "Wool" was acrylic .
Kemps call all their yarn whether Acrylic/cotton/wool "Wool".

What are you thinking of making ?

Um, I don't know yet but I'm thinking along the lines of hat and gloves.
I ordered some and I got 500g of purple king cole bamboo, it's lovely, but not really for gloves I don't think.
My friend is having a baby girl so I'll do some matching stuff, it's a nice shade.

I paid £6 and £4 p&p but these balls go for £4 per ball so I made a bit of a saving. I wish I'd got more to make the postage more worthwhile.
I'm quite please!

So did you get 500g of the same yarn, just what yarn you get is a mystery? I looked at the website yesterday but wasn't sure if you'd get a ball of Robin, 2 balls of Bonus etc just all in the same colour.

I've still got loads of that Ethical Twist they had ages ago Blush

Yes it's all king cole bamboo cotton, same colour and weight.
It wasn't that clear on the website.
