I actually chose a skein while I was looking for purple, and found the name surprising. It is a lovely subtle color, but I would wan to make sure you were OK with it before making a large purchase for a large sweater!<br /><br />Barbara M.

It is more expensive, but does have more yardage than the super wash DK. The website is yarn.com.

Here's hoping you have a great time in the country and man, that Archie's a lucky fellow. Mmm, Tosh sweater.<br />You probably already know this, but maybe a direct light shining on the black yarn will make it easy enough to work with.

I would be happy to contact the Madtosh Crafts store in Fort Worth to see if they have the amount of skeins that you need in Composition Book Grey. I have seen that shade in the store just a couple of weeks ago, and it is lovely. Madtosh Crafts doesn't sell online, but I would be happy to buy it and mail it to you, if that would help you. (Any excuse for me to go to the Madtosh store is fine with me!)<br /><br />Mary G. in Texas Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-47158366171588419282014-09-25T15:12:08.076+01:002014-09-25T15:12:08.076+01:00Oops - fat fingered the amount - it's 13!Oops - fat fingered the amount - it's 13!old ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274432184167606327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-56854081854741768582014-09-25T14:59:32.495+01:002014-09-25T14:59:32.495+01:00Eat, Sleep Knit has 30 skeins in stock in your col...Eat, Sleep Knit has 30 skeins in stock in your color.

Love the shades of Tosh...not thrilled with the superwash aspect. Wool should be wool, especially for sweaters, to hold the shape and keep the wearer warm. For DK weight I'd suggest Jamieson's Spinning DK....you can't do better than Shetland yarn for a fellow at school in Scotland.
