Blue Moon add new colours!









I have only just ordered and they've added more colours. I especially love Little Bunny Foo Foo, it is like a pink version of Lucy, scrummy :)

Although I haven't set eyes on the new Interweave Knits I understand that these colours are advertised in the new magazine.

I think these two will be next on the shopping list, but not this month!

I aren't looking anymore, I placed an order yesterday after reading your comments! And am now looking for the Sea Wool. Thank you x

Gil you torture me!!! OK, I give in. I'm going to order but was just wondering what weight you got as I haven't got a clue which one to order (and can you order direct from the site for delivery to the UK)? And is one skein enough for adult socks - and were you OK with the dreaded customs? So many questions! Am thinking Ruby Slippers...

PS: Am looking for Sea Wool too.

Forget to mention, do you remember the Little Bunny Foo Foo rhyme - bit strange:

Little Bunny Foo Foo,
Hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin' 'em on the head

Piglottie, I knitted my first pairs in mediumweight and I ordered both lightweight and mediumweight in the last order. I haven't come afoul of customs as my orders before shipping are usually less than £20. This yarn is so solid compared to others. It is soft and strong. Opal is like hessian rope compared to it.

Sea wool can be found here http://www.redbirdknits.com/yarn/detail.php?Category=Yarn&name=Sea%20Wool

I don't remember the rhyme at all :)

Thanks Gilraen. I think I might order the mediumweight (and if I get two skeins, one lightweight to compare). I know what you mean about Opal. I find it quite uncomfortable on my feet when I'm wearing my socks.

Re: the rhyme - I was brought up in Australia so maybe it was a thing there or in the US?

... Oh. Oh dear. You just HAD to post those, didn't you.

Also.

I've only used STR mediumweight and was thinking of trying some lightweight--you've tried both, I see, so what did you think of them as compared to one another?

Kay I too have only used mediumweight, but I have ordered lightweight, it hasn't come yet though. I'll post the difference when it does :)
