Oh no, oh no, oh no! Although I knew I was going to run out of yarn, a not so small part of me hoped that I wouldn’t; that it would carry on as if imbued with magical qualities. Not so. And of course because I bought the yarn and started the Crochet so long ago, it’s now discontinued. I suspect that’s because it’s got the golden thread running through it, which I’d say is a kind of plastic.
The only thing I could think of earlier was to take a photo and pop it up in my stories on Instagram and Facebook, to see if anyone has a ball tucked away in their stash, which I could buy from them. Please cross fingers and toes for me! It would be really good to be able to finish the full sized Ana Lucia shawl (free pattern on Ravelry, but make sure you’ve got enough yarn!)
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!

Linking again with Kat and the gang to share what I’m making and reading this week.
The Little Room of Rachell 
So sorry you have run out of yarn. Hope you can find some more. Or could you finish with a contrasting remainder?
Thanks Jane.
It’s an option but I would really like to carry on with this yarn as I like the colours and the variations with the golden thread running through it. I’m going to go with some suggestions to try Rav to source a ball, or even part of a ball.
Have you thought to put out a request on ravelry?
I haven’t, where on the site would you put it?
There’s a whole forum of yarn / items wanted, needed or swappable. It popped up automatically when I joined, but I think if you searched ‘swap’ it would probably show.

Best of luck
Thank you!
Fingers crossed for you!
Thank you!
Oh drat… that yarn issue just is the worst! (A tip for a ravelry search. Look up the yarn… that will give you a “tab” at the top for stashes. You can sort the stash by those wanting to “rehome” their yarn. And I have even messaged people with stash and asked them if I could buy a skein or two.)
Good luck with your search! (and I love the Strike series!)
Thanks for the tip Kat,appreciated. Have you read the new latest strike yet? I am whizzing through, (though it’s so big that I’m still probably only 10% of the way!) mostly listening to the audiobook, so good!
oh no, I hope someone can come to the yarny rescue and find some of it in their stash.
Thank you!
Well, just Rats! Hope you find someone with some yarn.
Awww thanks! I’m a silly fool really… I need to start picking a pattern and THEN buying the yarn I need, rather than buying a pretty ball of yarn, starting a pattern and then realising how many years down the line that I’m not going to have enough to complete it and it’s discounted. Thanks for your good wishes.
I hope you can find a ball of yarn, your shawl is looking fabulous. So disappointing when you run out, isn’t it?
Thanks Rachel. It really is, but my own fault really, because once I’d decided and started the pattern I should have called my favourite wool shop and reserved another. No joy with the Ravelry search. I think the Yarn Sub site may be the next thing.
