Destashing

There comes a time in the life of every knitter when the stash must be brought under control, so here are items from my stash that need to find new homes. All have been carefully stored in a smoke- and pet-free environment. Contact me at lorrielejeune at gmail dot com if you're interested. I take personal checks and cash-funded paypal. My prices all include shipping within the continental U.S. I'm happy to ship worldwide. Please email me for the additional shipping charge to your noncontinental U.S. location.

Rowan Wool Cotton
Shade 938, "beechnut"
123 yards/50g, knits at 5.25 - 6 st/in.
13 skeins (2460 yards)
Dyelot 11D1
A long-discontinued color of Wool Cotton, beechnut is a sophisticated neutral—a light milk chocolate brown with a grey tone. There's enough here to make a garment in just about any size. One ball has been swatched and rewound, but is otherwise complete. I love this color, but unfortunately, it doesn't love me. $80 (includes shipping within the continental U.S.)



Jo Sharp Classic DK Wool
Shade 329, "Khaki"
107 yards/50g, knits at 5 - 5.5 st/in.
20 skeins (~2140 yards)
Dyelot 2
Though it's called "Khaki", this discontinued shade of Jo Sharp DK is really a light chocolate brown. A wonderfully neutral shade that doesn't work well on me. There's enough here to knit most any of Jo's cabled designs. $90 (includes shipping within the the continental U.S.)


Knitting kit for Drops pattern 59-20: a women's Nordic-style ski sweater.
Yarn: Garnstudio Karisma Superwash; 100% wool, 120 yards/50g
650g (13 skeins) Color 05, black
400g (8 skeins) Color 62, brown
50g (1 skein) Color 04, dark brown
50g (1 skein) Color 37, gray-blue
Karisma is a wonderful dk-weight yarn that's very similar to the old Rowan Designer DK. It knits and wears beautifully. The complete pattern for this sweater is freely available on Garnstudio's site, and I will happily provide a printed copy. $115 (includes shipping within the continental U.S.)




Rowan Chunky Tweed
Shade 873, "Night"
109 yards/100g, knits at 3 - 3.5 st/in.
2.5 skeins (~275 yards)
Dyelot 31E0
Rowan Chunky Tweed is a discontinued classic. Night is black with reddish tan flecks. Two full skeins plus a couple of small balls that add up to a half. $16 (includes shipping within the continental U.S.)


Brora Softspun

Shade 9035, chestnut-red tweed
900 yards/lb
2.2 lb (1 cone, approximately 1980 yards)
Brora Softspun is 100% shetland wool spun by the now defunct Hunters of Brora mill in Scotland. It knits at 4.5 to 5 st/in, and after washing is identical to Jamieson's Soft Shetland in look and feel. Each cone is equivalent to about 16.5 skeins of Soft Shetland in the original 2oz. 120-yard skeins, and nearly 20 balls in the new 50g put up. $20 per cone, $10 per cone shipping within the continental U.S.





Ann Norling Truck Sweater (pattern + yarn)
Yarn: Tahki Cotton Classic
4 skeins red (3488, lot 732)
1 skein each of yellow (3549, lot 605); blue (3871, lot 631); green (3782, lot 194); purple (3913, lot 535); black (3002, lot 559); off-white (3003, lot 573).
This kit contains an official copy of the sweater pattern plus enough Cotton Classic to knit the largest size. I was going to make it for my nephew, but missed the window of opportunity (he grew up too fast!) $45 (includes shipping within the continental U.S.)
