So true. I have plenty of DK but it's like 500g of a colour, enough to make myself a sweater or cardigan, so I don't want to use it for other things.

Good luck with locating and sorting all your yarn!

All my yarn was in a storage unit for almost 8 years I think. I got rid of a lot when I reclaimed it a few years after mum passed away, but there's still a huge amount. I need to get on with my first Aran project, but knitting arm warmers is good for when I'm watching the dancing on TV. I don't have to watch what I'm doing.
