Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

This is the yarn used in the Must Have Cardi in the Street Smart book. I ordered some from a lady on ebay in Michigan and it took just under 2 weeks to arrive and cost me £23 including postage for 7 100g balls. It's lovely to knit with.

This is the link here . You email to get a price for however many balls you want and choose your colour Razz

ETA link doesn't work now and can't find the person on ebay any more Confused

I am knitting with this at the moment in my Must Have Cardi and it is really lovely yarn Cool

- soft but firm somehow and gives amazing stitch definition in the cables!!! Would definitely recommend it for something like that. It feels quite similar to the Cascade Heathers.

I wish there was someone selling it over here as it's soooo cheap in the States Evil or Very Mad

and because of the exchange rate at the moment, not as cheap to bring it in Confused

Probably still worth risking the customs though if you have a pattern that uses it.

Mine is the Natural Mix which is a lovely heathered stone colour Razz

Mind you it's hand wash isn't it - I am so useless with hand wash items with such a hairy dog! - mmmmm might still be tempted!

Noo that's her!!! Thanks Razz

She was very friendly and the yarn arrived in about 2 weeks I think. But yes, handwash only I think Confused

Thanks Jo - I love the way it's come out Cool
