…. 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??
ooh, thanks for this chance to win some Wollmeise!
I would love to take that beautiful half skein off your hands =)
I haven’t knit with lace yarn yet, WM Lace would be a good place to start! Thanks Sherri! Your Honey Cowl is very pretty.

I guess I’ll be glued to Ravelry this week since I’m not a facebook person. That blue/purple (blurple?) color Wollmeise is really pretty!
Really Pretty! I love seeing the pics of Home.
Just finished a shawl with Wollmeise in a fingering weight. Would love a chance to knit one in a lace weight!
I love the bird picture!
Wow, that color is gorgeous!
*crosses fingers and toes* (uncrosses because it interferes with knitting and walking)
Hoping to catch one of the updates this week! Preferably the lace… or I’ll happily take the remainder of your beautiful blue!
Wow, I got my first skein of WM outside of the sock club! It’s like my lucky day. Ha ha!
Wollmeise is impossible to resist. Hoping to catch one of the updates this week.
Ooooo, blue purple! I would love some of that!
Wow. Beautiful and generous! It’d be my first WM lace. I’d probably try to squeak out a little cardigan (like lightweight or whisper) since i’m pretty small!
That’s a great color!
I’ve been quite curious to knit with the lace!
I’d love a chance to win! What a beautiful color. I’ll also be stalking the website too!
I would love to have some Wollmeise. Love the color and blue is my favorite.
buy wolmeise??????….my only chance would be to win some!!!!!!! I never seem to get the message that its available before its all gone 🙁
Missed the update, but hopefully I’m not late for the contest! 950yd of WM lace is enough to make myself a smashing wispy cardi or an amazing cowl/fingerless mitt set. I’m drooling at the thought!
All of your work is so beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing with us!
What a beautiful color and lovely pattern to boot!
Beautiful blue 🙂 Keeping my fingers crossed!!
I’m glued to my iPad , hoping to get some lace.
I love cowls, but the short ones suit me better so I’ve made a few of them. The long ones look great on some people though. And I did lose a cowl for almost a year – my favorite one, quiviut lace, so light and airy that it went somewhere all by itself and refused to come out. What a great surprise when it did show up! WM lace would be great to knit another with.
I just hate knots, don’t you?! Right smack in the middle of a ball or when winding it and everything gets all tangled up ( because you know I don’t have my own winder yet!) . Anyway, you sure do knit fast. I barely got one summer sock done for my quarterly challenge! Thanks for sharing your day with all of us! Oh! And the great pics of the projects and animals!
Mmmmmmm…. Wollmeise lace would be wonderful!
Very pretty!!! Thanks for sharing the wollmeise
Summer break is almost here. I can start knitting again!!! So some Wollmeise lace would be a wonderful way to start out the summer.
Wow, Wollmeise craziness!
I’ve seen the Lace once, and it’s so gorgeous and there’s such a never-ending amount of it.
Wow! Wollmeise would be wonderful!
Wollmeise – you elusive little yarn – one of these days my obsessive checking will actually coincide with a update!!
Very nice! What a beautiful color!
I’ve always been a little intimidated to work with laceweight, but am hoping to try this year…this would be great incentive!
I haven’t knit with Wollmeise yet, but it is on my wish list of yarns to try.
I’ve never had the pleasure of working with Wollmeise before. I would love to win some! I rather like that honeycomb cowl too. I just bought some new yarn that would look wonderful in that pattern!

wwwwwmmmmmmmmm I’ve been wanting to try WM lace!
I wish I could every get a skein off the big W before they are all gone… so far I am unsuccessful!
Wow, I’ve never even seen Wollmeise in person!
Since I always miss the updates for”w” and my only “w” ever is from camp…I have to comment and try! So enjoy your blog Sheri!
Terrific giveaway! I’ve never had any Wollmeise before, so I’d love to win!
Ooooh! What a beautiful color! I love to make something beautiful out of it 🙂
Oh, I would love to knit a Honey Cowl with this! Thank you.
I’ve never been lucky enough to snag some Wollemeise, but I’d love to try some and purple is one of my favorite colors. Loved the pictures of the owls!
I have never managed to snag a skein on an update so maybe this will be my lucky week to buy or win!
ooh, pick me please! I’ve never seen Wollemeise in real life and would love to have some.
I haven’t tried lace yet! Love working with the 80/20. Hope I get picked! 😉
Love your Honey Cowl, and would be happy to give the other half of your Wollmeise lace skein a good home. Thanks, Sheri!
Oh so tempting!
I would be glad to take the other half off your hands,
Thanks for doing this
