Tell me the postage for the fine one (unless you want that one) and a couple of the 4 ply (if that's not more than you intended) and I'll bung it in with some seeds - interested in some Oca (see real seed co on t'internet)?

Postage no problem. Can I have the fine wool and a couple of others - not really bothered which.

I've got a really old manual knitting machine which I want to learn to use and I only have balls or skeins which flap about and make it really difficult to work. However, having got the hang of it - I'm hoping to make things to sell in the shop.

I've got loads of seeds to swap so if you're ready to go I'll stick some in the post on monday with the postage money.

By the way was the blanket OK - I'll have a look because we used to have a matching pillowcase but I think I used it as a duster! If I find it I'l stick that in too.

Hi Just checking , have you any wool left, My elderly mother has just rediscovered her knitting machine following Dads death, and Im trying to keep her away from Jeremy Kyle and repeats of Poirot, and feel that this would be a better alternative.
Ive tried to get her a job as a chimney sweep but her legs arent up to all the kneeling.
Cheers :salute:
