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 Confused  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 Wink
You can get dk and aran too!

I've just been looking too Rolling Eyes  Laughing 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 Wink You get 5 patterns as well!!!

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 Confused

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 Wink 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!!

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

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 Very Happy

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 Shocked

Might have clicked too Embarassed
