…. that this week is W Week. (Remember last week was M Week? Malabrigo? Madelinetosh?) That means instead of a regular Monday Update tonight, we’re doing a few Wollmeise updates this week, different days, different times. As usual, we’ll be sure to announce it on Facebook and Twitter and Ravelry when each batch goes up. We just added Twin to the website this afternoon. If you miss one update, there will be another. We also still have several boxes stuck somewhere en route, so if we don’t get those this week, we’ll do another update next week, too. I’ll keep you posted on that.
Of course we’ll have another regular Monday Update next week with more fun things. They’re stacking up in the inventory room and we’re having fun poking through all of the boxes. In the meantime, since it’s W week, I have a wound 950 yd. skein of Wollmeise Lace to give away. I used less than half of the 1700 yd. skein to knit (held double) a Honey Cowl for a friend. Isn’t that a pretty blue purple color? I can’t remember the name. There is one knot in the very middle of the skein. I had divided it into two equal balls to knit double, then re-wound the leftover balls into one large cake. This is perfect yardage for another Honey Cowl held double (or two Honey Cowls!), a pair of light socks, a large shawl, a scarf and mitts, or a number of other things. Just leave a comment below and I’ll draw a name at the end of the week for the winner. I know you’ll make it into something beautiful!
Sheri isitjustme,oristhisdayflyingby??
good (or maybe bad) i missed the update 🙂
Oh, that is such a beautiful cowl! I hope to do a good bit of damage at the updates this week, but I’d love to win some lace, too. I don’t have any WM lace yet. Thanks for the chance to win!!
Beautiful WM lace color.
I’d love to knit a shawl. I have 2 weddings to attend this summer and a new shawl would be perfect:)
Love the color! Great pattern!
I would love to try the lace. I love the Honey Cowl I made with another M yarn.
Love the Honey Cowl! I’ll be tied to the computer all week looking for Wollmeise!!
I’d probably give to BFF Sarah, since she more of a lace girl than me. I’m sure she’d be happy to give it a good home!
And have you renters out there added up what your stash cost? I just upped my insurance by a healthy bit to cover my yarn addiction.
I remember thinking your honey cowl was gorgeous! I’d love to knit something in that color.
I hope some V&V lace shows up later this week…or maybe I don’t…. 😉
LOVE that blue color – so pretty! Honestly if you choose me to win, I might copy you and do that pattern exactly – it really was the perfect pairing 🙂
i would love to win this. what a pretty color.
The Bad News is I missed the Update!
The Good News is I missed the update and my budget is a lot happier!
Maybe I will get lucky and win this lovely WM lace!
I’ve now made two Honey Cowls. Would be happy to make a third since I gifted the other two and now I wish I had one.
I seem to always miss the WM updates. Maybe I can win some WM. And you’ve already selected such a gorgeous color. That would make it win-win, for me at least.
All I can say is I love yarn for my stash, would be wonderful to start a cowl.
Never get to the updates in time. Atleast I get a chance to win!!
Ooh, I’m going to be keeping my eye out for updates! Yay WM!
I love Wollmeise!
Never had any Wollmeise and would love to see what it’s all about. Lace weight is my absolute favorite too!
Wollmeise, Wollmeise, wouldn’t it be a lovely day with Wollmeise.
Thanks for the contest– I’d love to win the yarn.
That is a beautiful color and cowl! You’re awesome Sheri!
Count me in. I love love to give that a try.
Oh, Wollmeise Lace sounds wonderful!
Wollmeise sounds so tempting… good thing a new month starts tomorrow and I’ll have some $$ in my knitting envelope!
Pretty. Pretty. Pretty. Cowls and Wollmeise are just pretty!
I would love to try woolmise??? Is a total virgin to that fiber
I love the color! And I’ve never tried lace so it would be fun to try something new.
Thanks for the contest! 🙂
I’ve only just had my first experience with wollmeise this past month! I bought a crazy zauberball, and am having the hardest time deciding what to do with the thing. I’ve knit a bit and ripped out several things, because they just aren’t good enough for the pretty color changes in this shawl!
er…yarn, I meant. Yarn.
I’d make a Honey Cowl for meeeee!!
You missed out on one heck of a hail storm here in StL this weekend! Be glad you were there and not here. 🙂
A winning yarn for a wonderful pattern. Woot. (Carrying on with the W theme)
As lovely as WM is to look at, it’s even nicer to knit! I recently finished my first pair of WM socks for my mom – and have another skein wound up for Frank!
I’ve never tried wm lace, but I’d sure like to.
thanks for the giveaway
I’m guessing that it’s Neptune Med, but I’m no expert. Beautiful!
Oh, please pick me!
I have the Honey Cowl in my queue and I would love to win the Wollmeise. A lovely color. Janine
I’m always late to the party with the WM updates, so I would love to WIN a skein!
Love the Honey Cowl, bummed that I missed the update earlier though!
I haven’t made a Honey cowl yet, it looks very nice.
I’d love to knit with the Wollmeise lace!
I’ve made one Honey Cowl and love it. The Woolmeise yarn looks yummy!
I have made a Honey Cowl but not out of Wollmeise so it’s no nearly as luscious as yours! But the thought of having some in my little hands would be oh so lovely!
Ever hopeful! Never been able to score the “W” yarn. Probably never will.
I love the color and I love the cowl that you knitted. This might be my chance to knit one.
I love seeing the pretty things you post here!
I love the color – I love the pattern. I have never knit with Wollmeise! Can’t pronounce the name – will have to call it the “W” yarn.
Oh, I was home sick all day. How did I miss the notice? Help me feel better by picking me!
I have never knit with Wollmeise. Love the color!!!
