I’ve seen this yarn on a couple blogs, and it’s been facinating me. It’s Regia Canadian Colors. All the colourways are named after Canadian provinces or cities. Apart from the one called ‘Columbia’, but I’m pretty certain they mean British Columbia.
I want this yarn, crazy Canadian that I am. And, if I lived in Germany this would be a deal. You get one of each colour (12 colours!) for 60Euro, which works out to $80ish. For yarn for 12 pairs of socks, that’s pretty damn good. Until you find the itty-bitty English bit on the side that is the link for shipping. Shipping to Canada is 48Euros. Which means it is no longer a deal. At that price, it’s $13/pair, which while definitely not unheard of for sock yarn, it’s more than I’d pay now, with that whole ‘saving-money-to-move’ excitement.
On note completely unrelated to knitting, I can’t wait to move. It will be my first actual home that isn’t my parents’ house or a dorm. I mean sure, I’m in an ‘apartment’ now, and my roommates are great, but they are essentially random people who just happened to be assigned to the same unit as me. But when I move… I’ll be living with someone of my choice, and I couldn’t be happier. <3
Now that I think objectively about said yarn ‘deal’, it’d take me forever to knit that many socks, slow knitter that I am. I don’t know how people have those huge stashes and not become a nervous wreck about not being able to knit it all up. I’d go crazy. So maybe it is good that shipping is so much.
Anyone out there from Germany?
