…Stylecraft Special DK in Lipstick shade? It seems to be out of stock everywhere I could think to look. The one place I found it in stock, I ordered it, only to receive an email saying it was out of stock!

I’m crocheting a striped blanket from a pattern and I need it for after my next row, ideally.

I suppose I could move that row colour to a bit further down the pattern and move a different colour further up 🤔 but I will still need the Lipstick shade at some point!

I couldn’t even find it on EBay.

How much do you need? I might have some, but probably not a whole ball which I could send you for postage?

I can look in our local wool shop Tuesday or is that too late?

Storynanny1 · 30/03/2025 13:48

What about this shop?

Thanks for all your help and kind offers! The Amazon one isn’t DK unfortunately and CalicoLaine is where I already tried to order from who said it was out of stock 😁
I’ve worked out I should have just about enough for the next row and then it doesn’t appear in the pattern again for a little while so hopefully it will come back into stock before then (I’m a slow crocheter!)
I really don’t want to put anyone out going to the shop or post office for me but thanks so much for offering!
It’s just that I’ve been crocheting for years and never seen a colour go out of stock absolutely everywhere at the same time before!

I've only ever seen it with Stylecraft. I think I waited about 3 months for Meadow (i think it was called) to come back into stock. It was worth the wait though. Totally gorgeous shade of green.

Do you have a Boyes near you? They usually stock quite a bit of Stylecraft.

JimothyHalpert · 30/03/2025 16:10

@CrochetBug3 months!! But yes Meadow is a lovely shade.

Never even heard of Boyes @PickAChew but I need to order online and their website doesn’t seem to load the menu for me, so I can’t see if they actually sell online.

Thanks for the Etsy link @CheesyRaver i hadn’t thought to look there! The listing is confusing though… it’s for Lapis Blue OR Lipstick and there’s no facility to choose 😁 I might send them a message
