What is "drops" wool please? Is it a brand? My aunt used to crochet a lot and made an amazing skirt - I think she lined it.

It's brilliant, very reasonable

I’ve used quite a few of the different yarns they do, and have found them all to be good

Thank you So it's a brand name? Seems a funny name for a wool brand ha ha.

I usually order from Wool Warehouse. They often have a sale on Drops yarns, so worth watching out for.

Hibernation time:
Starting a new cross stitch, lady with a fan
Knitting a practical arm warmer (if it fits) (excuse the row of "seed stitch" and the lacy bit )

An arm warmer sounds good! Is that like sleeves?

 

[Socks' Mum]

Yes, I thought it could go under my cardigan on the way to work and then I can take it off once I've arrived

I used to have something similar - it was sleeves attached at the back
