I need help! Elann has a new yarn on their site, Sierra, which is a wool/alpaca blend… I’ve been dying to knit the Green Mountain Gardens cardigan from the Green Mountain Spinnery book, but their yarn (while lovely) is way expensive…and I think this would make a good substitute, assuming I can come up with a colorway that works with the colors of the yarn available. The Eggplant and Plumberry shades are calling me…as are Spruce, and Ocean, and Mid and Dark Indigo.
Should I? Can I really justify buying another sweaters’ worth of yarn, when I have a fair isle vest and another sweater I haven’t even started yet? It’s such a good price, and such gorgeous colors.
Help!!!
dude you know i am on a yarn buying ban so i am probably not the right person to ask. but if it’s that good a deal, eh, why not?? :)
yes 8) the yarn is loverly. BUT – I think Elann intends to add this as a regular yarn with regular stock as part of their new Peruvian Collection. So, there might not be a real rush to buy it right now.
I am bad too. I just picked up the Jaggerspun and the Naturelle on cones from Elann. Damn their specials. I figure if I am saving money, then it is not so bad. I still can’t bring myself to buy Kureyon. Anything I would make with it would cost me $100.00 plus.
