I have here ten 50g balls of 12ply (heavy worsted) cotton. They are all new and unused. There is plenty here for a sweater, I think, as that's what I bought it for. I am simply not knitting quickly enugh to get around to knitting everything I wanted to. In the meantime, I have moved from liking greens and blues to pinks and mauves! I am selling a lot of aqua and blue yarns.

You can have this lot for $30 + postage.

Cleckheaton Tempo Pure New Wool SOLD

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I have 12 balls of this yarn. It is in the same condition as when I bought it. I never got around to knitting a sweater out of it. It is a thick yarn, which I think will be too warm for me. Recommended gauge is 14.5st/inch.

I will part with the whole lot of it for AU$24 +postage. If you want to buy fewer than 12 balls, I will sell this in lots of 4 balls for AU$10 per lot.

10ply Mustard Pure Wool (worsted weight) MOVED TO A NEW HOME

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I have here a pack of 16 balls of mustard coloured wool. 12 balls have labels and the other 4 have lost their labels. I don't think any has been used. I certainly haven't used any of it. It is as it arrived when I bought it. Each ball weighs 25g.

The wool is not shrink-proof or moth-proof and I think it will probably be suitable for felting (fulling) projects. It's quite a soft wool and would also make a good jumper or blanket.

I am selling the whole lot for AU$10+ postage
