That's going to be some post!!! I'm a little scared to work out what's coming my way. I've got MM co-op and trim co-op and a TIG co-op coming my way. And I've got two lots of yarn to knit for others with equivalent amounts of yarn for me to keep as payment (surprises). A skein of BLL. Hmmm... what else :lol:

i am well excited, mainly coz this will mean 3 more jumpers for taliesin and that should be the big thick yummy snuggle jumpers done then. think the rest is going to be longies perhaps, or a jumper for oakley. don't know if i can use non superwash for a jumper though. in theory i guess i'd treat it like a pair of longies for washing reasons?

and vic, i will def post pics, although 3 skeins won't be here, be nice to restock my wool box.

am very jealous of shadow's stash though. i seen those pics u posted a while ago. wow is all i can say! :mrgreen:

Yes, if you knit anything with non-superwash then treat it gently. That said, I wash all of our wool in the machine.

:lol: Just worked out approx 99oz. Which is a little much considering I really should be doing the same as you Highlandmum (sorry, can't see your name and have no memory :oops: ). I really need to stop spending until I've knitted a little more up!

my woolies stuff is normally done on a quick 30 with 800 spin. washed in wool wash. i'm too lazy atmt o properly lanolise everything so i end up rubiing lanolin into my woolies and interlock. i have plenty of lanolin products so it's not a huge issue. but can u really wash a top in wool wash with lanolin?
