am clearing out my wool stash - taking up too much room and cannot at the minute as it cripples my hands.

Anyone interested and i'll post.

Thanks

Ooo yes please I often get wool from ebay.
Do you have to post? Can I have a sneak preview by email
Am looking for neutral or blue colours enough to knit jumpers for my sons aged 1 and 3 (but large so more like 2 and 4 yr sizes). Have plenty of Aran and 4 ply, just want some nice dk. Or enough small quantity for hats is good too.
I prefer to knit high wool content yarn, the more wool content the better (sorry don't mean to sound fussy).
Every so often my shoulder siezes up and I have to 'down needles' for a while but am in full knitting mode at the moment.

Yes I just realised I didn't put my email on!

I'm only after double knitting type as I have several dk patterns I'd like to do but no wool at the moment.
Thanks

Hi knat, am interested in the Bigga Wool

Dingle · 04/02/2008 14:44

If you have anything else left knat, I would be very interested too please. Just dusted off my knitting needles again after many years and I am building up charity fundraising stock so anything would be much appreciated.

ok marina. The bigga wool sells for £4.50 a ball you can have it for £1.50 per ball so if you have the lot i'll do it for £15 the book for £5 and p & p at £5 = does that sound ok £25?
