Pictish the catalogues ARE free from Readicut and good for flicking through ona rainy afternoon. I used to keep the catalogues and make a note of the yardage/meterge of yarns so I can substitute easily; no longer necessary with the internet availability of information these days though Very Happy

Cazzie - that's that fudge colour I rather like on the link you gave Wink

My yo yo arrived yesterday, was out all day helping DD2 to clean the house she has just moved out of. The yarn is lovely, beautiful colour much nicer than on the comp. but the ball band says handwash only, please somebody tell me that you can put it in a machine after all there is only 14% wool.

Oh no

It's not surely Rolling Eyes

How can something that is almost entirely acrylic be handwash? I think it will be going in my machine Laughing

I've just been and bought a ball of YoYo for 8.50 on ebay (Damson Mist colourway), and this pattern for a rib-yoke jumper which I rather liked. I originally spotted this jacket but decided I'd get more wear out of the jumper Smile

And I can always get some more half price YoYo if I decide on the jacket too!

I remembered this thread, and couldn't pass up a sweater at that price. I like the subtle colour transitions too.
