OT Completely OT Rug Making Yarn
Has anyone in the NG happened across heavy yarn suitable for rug-making in
balls,skeins or hanks? The only yarn I can find is pre-cut into short lengths for use with latch-hooks. I have a rug-making machine - a little like a knitting machine - and I need a continuous yarn to feed through it. If you happen to see something you think might be suitable I would be grateful if you could pass on the details, baring in mind I would need mail order access. -- Cheryl ^;;^ ^;;^ ^;;^ http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest catsatararat (YAHOO msgr) A large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced to send this - at least read it. |

Of course I meant "bearing in mind" - scary to think of all those nekkid lil
brains running around. Forgive the typos - it's late!! -- Cheryl "Cheryl" wrote in message ... Has anyone in the NG happened across heavy yarn suitable for rug-making in balls,skeins or hanks?

Cheryl,
There is a brand called "Aunt Lydia's Craft and Rug Yarn" made by the Caron company. I believe it is sold in skeins. Here's the link to Caron's site: http://www.caron.com/yarns/aunt_lydia.html Maybe you will be able to find a website that sells it by searching Caron's site. -- Lisa Caryl http://www.picturetrails.com/quiltygurl remove the obvious to reply |

Cheryl
Have you had a look at the Nundle Mills site? All pure wool. They have a 20 ply yarn in 200g hanks - not sure if it's meant for rugs, but they may be worth contacting. http://www.nundle.info/nundle/woollenmill/index.asp A few years ago we were travelling near there and almost detoured to see the mill. But I got outvoted... Cheers, Smudge |
