Did you have any luck sourcing this as I am desperate to get my hands on 1 skein to enable me to finish an aran sweater that I started knitting over 20 years ago!!! Not really a slow knitter!! I think I am going to run out just before completion and feel so sad that this garment has travelled with me for over twenty years of my life and it may remain incomplete! Or horror of horrors I will have to unpick it and start again in a smaller size!!

Please help this desperate knitter as this project means a lot to me.

Thank you ~ Daphne :-)

I do have six skeins of this yarn in the right colour and you would be welcome to it if ou haven’t found it closer to home. I am in Australia but don’t mind mailing it to you. It would be rather nice to know if you want it or not.

Is this what you need? Hope so.

On the serious matter of the Magpie, what color is 608? I have a sweater’s worth of red and a hank or maybe too of a bright green; I’ll check the shade numbers over the weekend if they are possible matches.

Let me know the color and I’ll put the word on the Rowan Forum. Lots of people have stashed Magpie because it was so beloved.
Polly might well have it or find it for you!

xo Kay
