I needed a treat last Thursday. I have been dreaming about fingering weight yarn that is not white or pastel and I know that a yarn store is the place I stand the best chance of finding it! It was so nice being surrounded by such lush yarns and the staff was fantastic! I picked up a hank of Ranco in blues/greens/purples, a ball of Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino in teal and Sirdar baby bamboo in waterbaby (and some size 3 bamboo 10” needles – I couldn’t resist the idea of knitting bamboo with bamboo – and my only other 3’s are looooong.) It wasn’t until I got home that I realized I should have asked them to wind a ball for me out of the Ranco. It’s my first hank and I was perplexed. But the good folks at ravelry talked me through it! I got advice from experienced knitters, a yarn shop employee and links to videos on youtube about how to wind your own balls. It worked out great!
