Beautiful Wool For Knitting From Sonder Yarn Company.

Sometimes I cannot resist a yarn sale. I’ve become much better at controlling my urges when it comes to yarn. I have narrowed my choices down to buying beautiful wool.

The Sonder Yarn Co. is located in Canada. I’ve been watching their yarn and knitting projects slip by on Instagram (I’m usually looking in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep), and I’ll tell you.. they have lovely colors!

You must spend a lot to get free shipping, and I just never wanted to spend the money. And then, I saw that there would be a sale on their pretty yarn. A very good sale too, at 20% off!

I had just finished knitting the Blueberry Vodka Lemonade sweater pattern and was seriously thinking of knitting another one. I needed fingering weight yarn for it.

My Wool Order

The Sonder Yarn company said there would be a bit of a delay getting all the sale orders out. I was in no hurry. Finally, I got an e-mail saying that my order had been sent to the wrong place. Instead of waiting for the order to come back to them, they were sending a replacement to me. So, altogether it took about three weeks to arrive.

The yarn did not come in the box you see in my photo – just stuffed into a bag. There was nothing extra, just a “thank you” on the order invoice. I am only mentioning this because some places add extras, like a free stitch marker, tissue wrapping, etc. – this place did not.

On the same day that the yarn arrived, another shipment of something arrived and came in this box, which fit the yarn very nicely. Perfect!

The Fingering Weight Yarn

The Sunday Morning 4 Ply yarn is fingering weight. It is made up of two types of wool; 75% BFL, or yarn from the Blue Face Leicester sheep, and 25% Masham wool. I ordered the color “French Press” which is a rich brown. Each skein has 432 yards!

The DK Weight Yarn

The other yarn I ordered is Sunday Morning DK. It is made up of the same wool mentioned above for the 4ply. I choose color “Toast & Honey” colorway, and I love it! Each skein has 268 yards.

Already I have cast on and begun knitting a second Calliope pullover in this pretty golden color. My first Calliope came out too big, and the yarn was not right for it. I’ve been wanting to knit another for a while. I think this pretty wool will be just right.

Happiness

All in all, I am very happy with my yarn purchase. It’s tough buying yarn online but the colors shown on the website match very closely to what I got. The brown really caught my eye, but I ended up loving the golden color even more once I had it in hand.

I spent more money than I usually do, but I have gorgeous yarn and plans to use it. Also I got free shipping because of the amount, so that’s a plus. The wonderful color options may keep me going back for more, or at least keeping an eye out for sales at the Sonder Yarn Co..
