How hard can it be to find blue wool yarn? Sounds trivial, right? None at Jo-Anns, Michaels, generic craft stores, either out here or in VA

It think Gianetta is right about a brighter shade of blue. What's the point in fringing the pikes if noboby will notice. Besides, Isobel's chequey garters are very bright; a little brighter even than the Cascade 220 - Turquoise (# 9468).
If we want shiny, grab-your-eyes blue, there was a light blue silk/wool blend that was I think somewhere around the color of the chequey garters.... I might get several kinds, and bring them, and what doesn't get used, I'll just have to make something out of. The horror, the tragedy... :)
Haven't tried there. The yarn that I was pulling websites for was all at Fiberworks on N. Fairfield Road (on the left hand side of the street, right before the turn lane starts for Dayton-Xenia Rd). Drea also very unhelpfully pointed out that Halcyon yarn currently has free shipping.... There's some wool/silk blend that practically glows... I'm tempted :) It's shiny!
