Knit Nut Wishlist

Why do I need a ball winder and swift?? Cos I crave yarns like Cherry Tree or Koigu ( see next post) that comes in huge hanks of 200 m plus.

I spent 2 hours hand winding the Merino Lace from Over the Rainbow yarns on Friday and my hands still hurts 5 days later.

I want something like this.

So if anyone is upgrading to the industrial strength super duper Fricke Brand and would like to get rid of their old ball winder, you know what to do.

In no particuar order - these are yarns I hope to get a good deal on a sale or a swap.

1. Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb ( 50% silk 50% wool) apparently feels and knits like butter but at $29.50 per 200 yards, it's not on the urgent "to buy" list unless I have a large bonus this year.
2. Rowan Calmer in Amour
3. Koigu Painters Pallette Merino - You know there are just too many colourways to choose from. So I'd accept anything in Green, Blue, Purple, Pink.
4. Noro Kureyon # 55, #150, # 52
5. Noro Silk Garden #8, #201,# 213
