A Little Bird Told Me …

…. 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!

  1. Ooh, a Wollmeise prize! And it’s lace, and in a pretty blue, blue being the favorite color, you know, ooh ooh ooh!

    Thanks so much for such wonderful prizes, Sheri!

  2. 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

  3. 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. 🙂

  4. The hardest part isn’t knitting with WM lace… it’s caking it!

    The battle is won before it even started! Thanks Sheri!

  5. I’ve never used any of your yarn…this would be a great way to start…thanks for the opportunity. Jane

  6. 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! 🙂

  7. Blue-purple is my favorite! It sure looks like the perfect color to soothe the tattered soul.

  8. WOW…W Week! I love it!!!! I also love that blue color it is “Bluetiful” 😉

    THanks Sherri for the Wonderful, Welcomed, Wun…I mean fun!!!

  9. I’ve never tried the Wonders of Wollmeise. That’s a gorgeous, delphinium colour and I’d love to play with it.

  10. Thank you once again for your generosity and kindness in giving a skein of the precious Wollmeise for a giveaway. The Honey Cowl is a lovely pattern. Good luck to all.

  11. I love reading and seeing all the yarny goodness on your blog.
    . You are my favorite yarn shop 🙂

  12. I’m knitting a shawl out of Twin right now and loving it!! Like the idea of doubling for a Honey Cowl!

  13. 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
