Yes, Karen, this is indeed an international group. I'm in south
Mississippi, USA. We have folks from the UK, Australia, Canada, the
US, Brussels, Israel, Italy, Finland....Help me out, folks, where else?


I live in western Sweden (waves hand frantically to be seen over the

Hi Karen, hello I'm in the UK I think this is a yarn made for the knitting
machine originally, I have several cones of it. Try googling for
Magicolour Yarn and I'm sure you'll come up with some sites that sell it.
See it on the UK ebay often

Hi, I'm new here, and as you can see, I go by the screen name of Karen,
Queen of Squishies. First let me explain that odd title, and then I have
a question I really need your help with.

Queen of Squishies - a squishy is an envelope containing fabric or yarn
and it squishes when you squeeze it. These are sent to friends who share
your hobby, for birthday, Christmas, new baby, cheer up, get well soon, or
no reason at all! I dubbed myself the queen of this realm because I have
sent out so many of them in my ng history. I have been a member of a
quilting ng for about 8 years or so now.

I have been an avid crocheter since the age of 12, and no, we're not going
into how long ago THAT was! LOL! I have taken up quilting in recent
years, but have never lost my love of crocheting. Last week I got the
urge again, and started a crib blanket using a lovely Denys Brunton yard
called Magicolour. I only have one spool of it, 340g. I really love this
yarn and want to make the baby a sweater trimmed in it, to match the
little afghan. I have searched and searched online and have come up with
less than nothing by way of a place to buy more of this!

There must be SOME place in this wide world for me to buy more Denys
Brunton Magicolour yarn! Help, help, help?? I didn't buy this one, it
was given to me, so I have no idea where to find it.

TIA,
Karen, Queen of Squishies

Hi Queen Karen

I've been lurking for quite a while at rctq, so I recognize you
Welcome to rcty!

As for the yarn, I haven't seen it, but my LYS will order just about
anything; have you checked with one near you?

Michelle

Carey! Hello there, I recognize you! Wow, old friends, and new friends,
this a great place. I went to eBay, and not one of those item numbers could

Hi, Karen,

Good luck, and happy knitting.

Karen, Queen of Squishies

Not so sad; there's only one here but the best ones are off-island and
shipping gets ridiculous. So I watch carefully for sales and go
carefully online when shipping isn't sky-high. Or shop at the one
local Michaels if I'm desperate. Finding good quality sport and
worsted weight non-superwash wool (my favourite type of yarn) is *hard*
when most people want sock, acrylic, novelty or mixed-fibre yarn.

Now, I haven't made more than a post or two to rctq; my quilting is
still in the 'extreme beginner' stage, although I have several years of
sewing experience.

I wonder if a not-so-local yarn store (perhaps in a neighbouring
state?) would be able to order the yarn and ship it to you, if it's not
available for consumer purchase? You might have to buy a number of
skeins in the colourway you wanted, though, if they have to purchase in
lots.

Karen,
How odd you couldn't get them up. Usually I have trouble if someone sends
the full link, and have to type in the item number in the search box in the
upper right-hand corner of the page. Here are the actual links, taken while
viewing the pages just a minute ago(Friday afternoon, 4:50). Hope these'll
work.

Best wishes,

on RCTQ also named Carey, who had been away for a while, but we're two
different people.)
