   Wow, there is truly a dearth of 4 ply yarn in the UK right now (everyone knitting Christmas jumpers and socks presumably)

     Are you haunting the dark corners of charity shops yet? There always seem to be balls of wool tucked away somewhere.

     Even acrylic yarn. Was looking into making a silly Wit Knits jumper and really struggled to find black yarn in the quantities needed! And it still somehow came to about £40, which is... more money than I feel I should spend on something that will probably turn out to be unwearably sweaty

     *And* I'd need to buy a new pair of needles because I don't have anything smaller than 3mm. So getting closer to £50

     @botvolution (If it was a larger size I suppose I could unravel it and make my own version? 🤔)

     @botvolution I'd forgotten about this! Thanks for the reminder. It's tricky because what I need is pretty specific, and I find charity shops tend to offer the opposite sort of experience, so don't know if I'd have much luck. Probably more likely to find someone's finished version of the jumper, haha
