newbie coming onboard

Looks like they have it, alright! I've emailed to see if they will ship to
the U.S. I also don't know how the conversion works out. The cost is $25
AUS.

Try this link, and a little more info about the yarn would be helpful.
What is the fiber, and the weight?

Wow, age 4 huh! I'm impressed! Thanks for the warm welcome, and yes, I can
see that this is quite a diversified group alright!

Four is debatable, my mother is now 79 and prone to selective memory,
LOL!
I say age six for sure, lol.
I've been spinning about 4 years now, took up tatting about 9 years
ago, and bobbinlace about 7 or 8.
Here's a crochet query for you: do you hold your hook like a pencil
or a knife?

I love Project Linus! I found that not enough babies were being born for me
to make baby afghans for, so I usually have one in the works for the Linus
kids.

Welcome aboard, Karen. I'm another who crocheted and knitted as a tot
because my Mother had a yarn shop. Now in retirement, I spend most of
my time doing afghans and hats for Project Linus.

the Aussie dollar costs about 75cents US (check the daily exchange rates for
the exact figure) so it will cost you about $20.00 US for the wool -regards

Thanks, Alison! I'm still waiting to hear from them whether they will ship
to the U.S. or not.

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

Hi, Karen,
I recognize you from when I lurk over on RCTQ.
Try ebay, item #290027100379, or #290027100391, or #290027100357,
#150029181431.
Sometimes various yarns show up on ebay under Crafts\Knitting\Machines, or
Crafts\Knitting\Yarns.

Good luck, and happy knitting.

It actually is made or was made here in the UK and is a knitting
machine yarn. I think it is no longer available.
I do have a cone or two of it but it was made in several different
colour ways. There are odd cones of it offered on UK ebay.

I gave a lot of it away last year when I packed my knitting machine up.
Never been able to use it since my heart bypass.
