I ordered it from Webs. It's incredibly soft. Doing it in a light spring green. So far I like the fabric it's making.DawnCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-30800178643797332092011-03-14T21:19:53.674+00:002011-03-14T21:19:53.674+00:00I am so sorry things have taken a turn for the wor...I am so sorry things have taken a turn for the worse.

He now has a dvd for saying the rosary so he doesn't get mixed up.

They have a website - perhaps they could find you what you want, although the UK price might be higher than ordering from the US. It certainly might be worth getting a trial skein to see how you like the stuff "in the flesh".<br />Sorry to hear your sad family news.<br />JennyJennySnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49521818972698196242011-03-14T09:22:13.504+00:002011-03-14T09:22:13.504+00:00I am reminded of Sara Doudney's lines yet agai...I am reminded of Sara Doudney's lines yet again "But the waiting time my brothers is the hardest time of all" Thinking of you all.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
