Just been to Wilko and Poundworld (Silverlink) seeking yellow wool for Knit & Natter's next project (Easter ducklings). 

They both had plenty of wool, just no yellow.

Any idea why, oh crafty friends?

Suggestions as to where I can get some welcome.

Also, if you've any yellow yarn going spare in your wool stash I'd be happy to give it a good home in LD:NorthEast's craft cupboard

Oh, and the Niece may have to be unbothered by non-gender-stereotyping.  Ferretfingers was with me and immediately grabbed 3 balls of very pink baby yarn (buy 2 get one free).  

 He likes pink.*

FifiD  I love pink. Glad to hear he’s in touch with his feminine side xx

Mrs Heath  TheRange?

Bentonbag  There's a thought - I'll detour there on my way to Wallsend tomorrow.   

Thank you Mrs H. Everything ok with you I hope. 🙂 👏

Mrs Heath  Yes, thanks Ben, just getting old and falling apart, lol.  If you're going Wallsend way could also try hobby craft at the Silverlink, it's over in the new part where next moved to.   

Hope you's are all ok.  We should have a fossys reunion sometime xx

Later

Bentonbag  Thanks Mrs H, got big balls of Patons bright yellow double knit @£1.99 a ball.  Excellent value and quality and the ladies have made at least half a dozen already 😀

Mrs Heath That's good, sounds like you are all having a great time xx

Mrs Elswitch  Pound shop bottom of Shields Road? Usually has some in. Cheep cheep (so funny)

Jenjo Bunjo Also the Grainger Market has loads of colours.

*Actually the Niece’s first baby did turn out to be a GrandNiece. Psychic Clara as Mum used to say.  

No idea what the male equivalent would be.  Psychic Claud?
