Just pointing this out incase anybody hasn't seen it! Jeni's space dyed sock yarn, details on ravelry here, it's on sale at the moment, so you get 5 100g skeins for £19.99. Space dyed so there isn't vairation in colour really It's really nice yarn, I ordered some which arrived yesterday and its very similar to posh Helena or the yarn yards hug, only its bfl not merino..........
I thought it was a bargain anyway
You can get dk and aran too!

I've just been looking too I have a skein of this from way back but I got it at GK and paid £10 plus postage so this is a bit of a snip. It's nice stuff - quite thick but enough for socks You get 5 patterns as well!!! _________________ Ali xxx |

It does feel nice. I got some aran to make Sharfiks for christmas presents, and some dk for little cardi's for my nieces, all pretty cheap at the moment too. I wonder if she's going to discontinue some of it  _________________ Terri xx |

I think so. I think it's stuff she's had for a long time and isn't current any more - certainly the sock wool.
I was thinking the aran would be nice for Mr Greenjeans or a FLS but there's only the red/plum left now and I was thinking of a greeny one but that's all gone - I think it's going fast now!! _________________ Ali xxx |

It's unicorn clue day,, so people will be buying now while they can get the 10% discount Its cheap without the discount even though!
It maybe doesn't sell well because it's not handpainted  _________________ Terri xx |

She must have sold out of one of the colourways then cos she was doing 6 skeins for £25 a while ago wasn't she?
I have seen this knitted up and it is lovely and thick and woolly  _________________

Ah, this explains the "You get 5 hanks of 100% bluefaced sock yarn, thats 600gm" bit then, Jeni's obviously amended it from 6 to 5.
I looked yesterday, now I've looked again
Might have clicked too  _________________
