…. 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??
TY for your post. The cowl is pretty and I would love to be able to try this yarn.

Thanks so much for such wonderful prizes, Sheri!
How nice of you to share! Oh course, that is how you roll…. 🙂
The yardage on WM lace is amazing. I got 3 large projects from 1 skein.
How exciting! I do not yet own a skein (or a 1/2 skein) of W Lace. Thanks for the giveaway!
Sheri, I’d love some W Lace .
I haven’t knit cowl, but I’d love to try one with some lovely Wollmeise Lace.

Oh, I would love to knit a honey cowl with Wollmeise!
I have got to find out what Wollmeise is all about one of these days!!!!
I sincerely hope I catch one of your updates this week. Karen
I have not tried this yarn and usually I don’t think of lace weight for socks but since you mentioned socks … Well my needles perked up at this prospect!
I enjoy your blog. Thanks for being part of my ethereal world
Oh, I’d love some Wollmeise laceweight! I’m slowly working my way through Vostok for my niece to wear at her wedding and could make something pretty from the Wollmeise for myself. 🙂
The hardest part isn’t knitting with WM lace… it’s caking it!
The battle is won before it even started! Thanks Sheri!
Very pretty!
What a beautiful color. I’ll try my luck.
I hope I get another skein this week!
I’ve never used any of your yarn…this would be a great way to start…thanks for the opportunity. Jane

Love Loopy Ewe, love Wollmeise! I will try to buy one this week! I need fairy dust!
The Honey Cowl has been on my to-knit list forever! I can’t think of a better yarn to use for my first Honey Cowl! 🙂
Pretty bird and pretty yarn!
Blue-purple is my favorite! It sure looks like the perfect color to soothe the tattered soul.

Love, love, love! I can’t wait to knit that pattern!

I’m knitting a shawl out of Twin right now and loving it!! Like the idea of doubling for a Honey Cowl!
I reckon I could do you a favor and help you rehome this from your stash. It’d be a sacrifice to have to take a cake of Wollemeise, but for you–I got your back. lol
