Thank you so much, Janise! I still have a couple of shops around here to
call but if those don't turn anything up I will get in touch with you. I'll
probably put a post out to everyone at that point since I am starting to get
desperate!

Charlie,

Where did you order the Brown Sheep online? I haven't done any research
yet but every LYS I ask in says they can't get the stuff. I have two
different WIPs which are threatening to become UFOs since I am one skein
short of the Brown Sheep yarn used in each. I ordered it back in March
when I first started on the projects and it still hasn't come in!!

NEvermind, I gave my Visa a workout online and bought the brown sheep
stuff!
worked out just as cheap even with the shipping added on!

Yet another question...

I want to buy the wool to make a hat, and the pattern needs:

Brown Sheep Company Lamb's Pride Bulky (85% wool/15%mohair; 4 oz/125
yds)
To knit on US10.5 (6.5mm) needles.

So heres the loaded questions, either where can I buy this online in
the
UK,
or what's a good equivalent? Thought I might try and makes cool
stripy
hats
for two of my friends this Christmas!

Charlie.


Charlie,
You can use any bulky yarn or any yarn for that matter just as long as
your
gauge matches the one given in the pattern, and you have the right
yardage.
Rowanspun Chunky or Yorkshire Tweed Chunky will do. Cleckheaton and
Patons
also make several bulky weight yarns.
If you are near Bradford, there are a couple of mill stores there that
have
a wonderful selection of yarns and the prices are excellent. Knight
and
Lee
have a good selection of yarns and the clerks are extremely helpful.
