single ply wool

[james]

I'm looking for a few yards of single ply worsted wool to repair a hat. In all my yarn scraps, I don't have any single ply at all. The hat is a variegated blue, but honestly I don't care what color the yarn is if you have some.

It is, of course, one of my partner's favorite hats and the hole just keeps getting bigger.

Let me know if you can help; thank you!

I happen to have two single-ply, variegated wool yarns that are about a worsted weight in my stash:

- One is a dark blue/purple: http://ravel.me/papercuts/sfibc

- The other is a lighter blue/purple, and is categorized as DK on ravelry, though I think it's similar to the first: http://ravel.me/papercuts/i20m4

I would be happy to send some of either, or both, so you can try them out. Just let me know what you would like!

The second one looks like a great color match - but I would ask for a bit of both, because the hat is felted a bit from washing, and I don't know if a DK yarn will darn it as well as a thicker yarn.

I will DM my address. Let me know if there is anything you would like in return, including postage.

I hope one of them works! I’ll drop the yarn in the mail in a few days, no worries about the postage.
