The only time I’ve ever bought any Wollmeise yarn is back before it suddenly became the most popular yarn in the universe and I could carefully choose a colour. I have tried to buy more since then, but I never manage to snag any when the shop is updated. Until last week…
I happened to randomly visit the shop after Rubbishknitter updated her blog with her lovely Wollmeise cardigan and there was one – one! – skein of 80/20 Twin left. No photo, but I didn’t care; I snapped it up before you could say unnecessary-yarn-buying-just-because-it’s-popular. I did notice that the name of the yarn was “Karotten” and though it’s a while since I took GCSE German, I don’t think it takes a genius to work out that it probably means “carrot” and I hate orange. But I was getting Wollmeise!
And then it arrived.
It is ORANGE. Not just a bit semi-solid which I could cope with but, very very very orange indeed and proud of it.
There is no way on Earth I will ever use this yarn. It smells wonderful and feels divine but I just can’t look at it. I could sell it on, perhaps, but instead I’d rather give it to someone who really wants it and will make something suitable with it.
So to win this very orange skein of yarn, please leave a comment saying what you would knit or crochet with it. The yarn will go to the person who has what I consider the best suggestion! Comments will close Sunday evening, around 9pm UK time.
