Don't know if I should share this or keep the secret to myself: Spotlight has stock of Moda Vera sock yarn [75% wool, 25% nylon] at only $4.99 per 100g ball [regular price].
Yes, you read that right - a pair of handknitted socks for under $5!
The yarn seems okay; in my opinion, it's softer than Lincraft's [which is $12.99 per 100g]. It looks comparable to Heirloom but it's hard to tell while it's in the ball!!
I bought one ball this morning and will let you know how I go; I'm back on a knitting time diet and tiny needles don't help either so don't hold your breath!!
Thanks for the tip. Not that I need to buy more sock yarn! LoL
ReplyDeleteI didn't believe the price when I had them check the price for me. There hadn't been one displayed on the shelf.
ReplyDeleteI must actually buy some though.
I have one sock knitted out of this and am curious to see how it turns out. It looks good and it would be wonderful if it is value for money. I have knitted the Lincraft wool and it seems very soft and is wearing well. However I bought some of the Sullivans yarn last year and it pills and quickly too.
ReplyDeleteGoodness that's cheap isn't it! I must check it out. Time for a sunday drive, I think.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good person to share the sale news ;)
ReplyDeleteI've read somewhere else that Spotlight has 20% off everything tomorrow (Monday 10th) including already reduced items, so that makes it even cheaper!

ReplyDeletein answer to your question on my blog - it was Holiday acrylic 8 ply - I think :]

Thank you for your lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteOh I have haunted our Spotlight and they keep saying sock wool is coming but it still hasn't arrived. Hmmmmph.
