Most Walmarts will order a color for you if you ask. You might try that and see if it will be in be for the Herrschners order.

Red Heart Super Saver in the Delfts Blue is available on e-bay for about 3.00 per skein plus shipping. That is where I got mine and it is very nice.

Great job on the scarves, some gorgeous patterns!!!! I got my order from Knitting Warehouse earlier in the week (I went to 3 stores in the area - including WM - and no Delft Blue) I will be making them in a couple of weeks...

[ducheus44]

Id be mor than happy to do one but i have so many things to finish before christmas if it can wait until then im in

[chelseasmom1]

@ducheus44 -- the scarves aren't due until January 15, so there's plenty of time.

 

To others searching for yarn -- I just received my issue of Talking Crochet by Carol Alexander, and it looks like Annie's Attic carries the yarn. www.anniesattic.com

 

I don't know how it compares in price; I just thought I'd let everyone know.

I am so in. I saw it the crochet today magazine and knew right away I had to do a couple. Is Delft blue the only blue that can be used? I know they want uniformity but what if I can't find it?

Here's #3...not sure if I like this one or not.

I love that scarf!! Looks great to me!! Where'd you get the pattern from? I'm not the greatest at making scarves but I think I'd like to make that one!!

I'm so glad I stumbled onto this. There are days it pays to cruise the 'ville. I've got my aunt doing some. And, I will be having some of my students also make some. "Special" kids making scarfs for the Special Olympics. They are very excited.

[grannyannie]

Braxxi, that 's a wonderful scarf!!!

[Braxxi]

I'm glad you guys like the latest scarf I made. It's actually a pattern for a mile-a-minute afghan from "Contest Favorites Mile-A-Minute Afghans" from Leisure Arts! I just did one of the strips as a scarf. I got the idea from the first scarf pattern I did, which reminded me of the afghan strips.

yes that is the color that the special olympics chose so it has to be that blue and that white.

Try your local walmart and ask them to order it, some have bought it on ebay and ordered it from Herrshners. If you go back through this thread there was mention of some other places members have found it.

[coolhockeymom]

wal-mart had some when I was there

[angelfire]

My Walmart had 8 skeins today, I checked JoAnn's and they didn't have any though.

Well alrighty then...I had better get to shopping for it then before it's all sold out everywhere by everybody making these.

[dragonpuck]

here are two more- am going to stop for now

get some other things done!!!

probably will make more before the due date in jan!!!

 

[Redheart]

Dragonpuck, those are outstanding!

I've been reluctant to go to my WalMart to shop because it's under construction. So I go to meet my sister for dinner in the next county near her WM, thinking I'll get the Delft Blue yarn there. But guess what? Her WM is under construction, too! What a mess in the parking lot, but we pressed on and I got my yarn! Started a scarf last nite.

[grannyannie]

More great scarves Lynn!

My Walmart was all out of delft blue this week! I have a little left, so I'll get another scarf done!

[sheryl*]

I'll be sending them a scarf or 2. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[Braxxi]

#4...another mile-a-minute afghan strip done as a scarf .
