Looking for online source

A LYS had a big sale and I picked up 6 skeins of Checkheaton Merino 4ply
Bambino......I love how it feels but the only color they had was kelly
green......my best friend loves green so I have enough to make a Hat and
Mittens.....but I would love to have this yarn in other colors but after
doing a search for over an hour last nite I was only able to find a 8ply and
it was not Bambino.

Oh and the little skeins are sooooo cuteG

I have it in black for a cardy I'm knitting myself and you can get it
in the usual "baby" colours and in a good strong blue, red and a
couple of multi-colours. It's very available here in NZ at Spotlight
(which I know has stores in Australia and Singapore too) do you have
such an outfit in the U.S.? It is lovely wool.

VP

You can get it online at http://www.tapestrycraft.com.au but they are
in Aussie, so postage may sting a little (depending on where you are).

No but I will just have to start asking the local stores if they can get it
for me. I do have a work friend that is from Australia and makes 2 trips
home a year...maybe I can get her to bring some back for meG it is lovely
and I think it would make nice soft socks.

Ok I will check that out!

Thanks VP

I don't know how many other Aussies there are in the ng, but
if you REALLY want this wool I would be happy to buy and
ship for you. I am in Victoria (SE corner of Aus).

There is an excellent yarn shop in nearby Ballarat and I am
sure the owner could try to get you a colour card, or at
least I could scan one and email it.

However, the warning about postage is spot on. We pay much
higher postage out of Aus than you do into the country. So
if you are really interested give me some idea of the
quantities you would want and I will check post costs the
next time I am in the PO.

I would be happy to help. But please email me as I do not
