How many balls altogether, Ral, and what's the thickness of the wool?

Ral, is it double knitting wool? If so, are able to keep it until April? We're back home then and Sue will be, together with her WI covern beginning the annual shoe box campaign busily knitting hats,gloves and scarves.
Cheers

I defer to Sue, Ral - I'll never find the time to get round to using it anyway!!!

150+, it's 4 ply shrink resistant, best for constant washing. Izzy is clearing her deceased Aunts house. You wouldn't believe what she has found, loads of really good quality unworn tagged clothing, hand made shoes, blankets galore, all wrapped. Some of it has already gone to charity.
The whisky went to Rals Belly Trust!

I am hot footing it down there in the camper with a trailer attached!!! lol

 

[izwozral]

Good, you can have some coal!

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Wool blankets are worth hanging on to or selling, they are very much in demand, have been for some time.

I much prefer them to all these modern fleece jobbies.

 

[trevskoda]

Police after you for sheep rustling.

My van isn't THAT old, It runs on diesel, pet!

 

[izwozral]

Oh, I thought it was one of those clanking puffing Billy type MH's and Neil was chief stoker?

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Well, he's chief something, but I'm afraid it doesn't begin with 's'...

Don't get technical with me boyo! Can hang on to it if any good for Sue.
No takers on the camera yet Peter.

Aw, leave the poor lad alone, without Neil there would be no one to change the light bulbs!

Thanks Ral, but 4 ply won't do apparently, but again, thanks again to you and the lady with the coal powered van

 

[izwozral]

Yours Marie? Anybody?

Apparently good for willy socks, someone could make a fortune making them for our kilted friends!

 

[mariesnowgoose]

4 ply is known as sock yarn or baby yarn, lovely but way too fine for me - would take me 100 years to knit anything!

Afraid I can only do a chunky wool you can knit up fast with a couple of cabers

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Bung it on Fleabay, knitting wool with real wool in should also sell well.

Real wool is not cheap to buy these days - in fact, it never was!

I wouldn't mind some but I’m not sure how Lee would react to that much! We’re away till April...

I’m interested in the wool if nobody else is. More than happy to donate to a dog charity. We are going to Stratford but Richard also gets over Cheshire way regularly with his job so may be able to collect before then. Helen
