…. 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!

Another honey cowl for a friend seems like the perfect thing to use the extra yarn.
I’ve never used Wollmeise, but would love to try it!
The Honey Cowl is very pretty. If I am lucky enough to win I will make one of those or maybe a Dipped Infinity Cowl ( but in 1 colorway as opposed to many). Wollmeisse is great and purple wollmeisse is even better. Kitty smiles Arlene
Wollmeise in lace…..love to try it!
Fortunately for me I don’t know what all the hype is, so I don’t get so upset about missing out, but maybe just maybe I will have the pleasure of experiencing this yarn….thanks for the opportunity!
Between MadMay and TLE having Wollmeise this week, I may not get anything done . . just sit by the computer all week! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway.
A little birdie told me to leave a comment because I might get lucky enough to win some Wolleise!!
TWEET! TWEET! CHIRP!
I’ve wanted to try to knitting with Wollmeise for awhile now but have never been able to get my hands on any. Would happily take your leftovers! 🙂
How nice! Thanks for thinking of us all! I seem to miss the updates by minutes!
Love Wollmeise. It’s not covered in my yarn diet.
Love that honey cowl you did! Gorgeous!
Wollmeise Lace was my first purchase from the Loopy Ewe oh so many years ago! I love that yarn, it became a Girasole. I would love some more!!!
I’ve been wanting to try Wollmeise Lace… and really hope to snag a skein of some other Wollmeise that goes up this week.. I <3 the Loopy Ewe!!!
What a rich blue color!!! I’d have to really think about what to do with that little gem…
Just lovely yarn-what a great prize!
I’ve actually been considering giving up on what I was doing with some yarn I have and making a Honey Cowl instead, so this is nudging me towards that decision even if I’m not sure I want to rip back yet… And maybe one day I will find out what Wollmeise is like.
I would love to win some Wollmeise. Hope I’m the lucky one. What a lovely blue color!
Wonderful Wollmeise-keeps our hearts racing!
I would love to experience Wollmeisse in person!
That would make an awesome gift for a friend of mine who is an amazing knitter – and an amazing friend.
I love the Honey Cowl and the colorway! I enjoy your blogs everyweek Sheri.
Thanks for making all of us feel like we are your best friend.
Mmm, I love that color. I’ve been able to knit with 100%, but never Lace. There’s a first time for everything, though, right?
I would love to try Wollmeise lace and purple is my favorite color.
Lovely cowl! Would love me some WM Lace:-)
This is indeed a lovely color! How nice of you to pass such a generous amount of leftover yarn to one lucky winner!
Love Wollmeise 🙂
I have heard tales of the glories of Wollmeise and have even oggled a skein or two, courtesy of a friend with an enviable stash. And the colour!!! While you can’t go wrong with pretty much any Wollmeise colourway, bluepurple would be a magical way to begin a journey with this amazing wool! Stunning cowl, by the way.
That color is gorgeous, and hard to believe you used less than half a skein!
I would love to just touch it!
The Wollmeise you used for your Honey Cowl is beautiful. The Honey Cowl is next on my project list. Along with another Sothia.
A great laceweight poncho came up on Ravelry today, and I’d probably use the yarn for that. Gorgeous.
How sweet to let one of us have your partial skein. You could have made something beautiful for yourself.
I haven’t knit with the lace weight. Love the color of this one.
Love the color!
Love the owls in the previous post. I was thinking, too, that they looked awfully serious! (And would love to win that Wollmeise!)
I was looking for a Monday update,but finding this was a nice surprise! But,I never seem to win anything. Sure is pretty!!!
I’m so excited for a W week! I was just thinking that you haven’t tossed up some Wollmeise for us in a while, so I’m excited to watch for some pretty new yarn!!! (Winning would be great . . . )
Beautiful cowl! Bring on the Wollmeise!
Purple!!! it is my favorite color. It would just be lovely to be the one picked! Thanks for the chance to participate 🙂
Love the cowl and love the lace!
Have wanted to try the lace, this would be a wonderful way to do that.
Missed the update today so I would love to get me some lace and it is a beautiful color.
Wistfully winding
woolies within; woefully,
wasn’t Wollemeise.
How’s that for W week?
Excited for an opportunity to try this beautiful yarn. Hmmmm Honey Cowl or new design, will have to wait & see. Beautiful work!!! 🙂
I am almost 70 years young and never heard of this Wollemeise yarn…all of your comments are inspiring me to try it and maybe I will be blessed to receive your generous offer .
Oh, my that is gorgeous!! I’ve never used the lace before. It would be so nice to try it.
Oh, that’s a cute little birdie picture!
I’m loving W week! Thanks for all the inspirations!!!
You can give me that lovely ball of wool when I visit in June, hahaha.
I just love lace knitting and to do it with Wollmeise means I would have reached the stars!
