Yarn Trouble

Last week my mother sent me some more shawl yarn. 4 skeins of a 100 gr each. Last night I would them into balls. This is what they look like now:

3 store nøgler garn 20 små nøgler garn

In one skein the yarn was broken in a lot of places! I have used this yarn several times before and this is the first time this has happened. Normally I would take it back to the shop and ask them to exchange it, but since this was a present, not to mention bought in Denmark that isn’t really an option. I’ve emailed the manufacturer and hope that they care enough to offer to do something.

I sidste uge modtog jeg 4 bundter garn med posten fra min mor i DK. Det er garn som jeg før har brugt til at strikke sjal af, og med rigtigt gode resultater. I aftes vandt jeg dem til nøgler, og på billederne ovenover kan du se hvordan det gik. I det ene bundt var garntråden brudt i rigtigt mange steder - jeg har aldrig været ude for noget lignende! Normalt ville jeg gå hen i forretningen og bytte det, men det kan jeg ikke sådan lige gøre når det er en gave og købt i Danmark. Og hvis jeg skal sende det frem og tilbage kunne det blive noget meget dyrt garn. Så nu har jeg emailet producenten og beklaget mig, og så håber jeg at de tilbyder at rode bod på skaden.

PS: Thank you so very much for all the compliments on Anglaise. I really appreciate it!

Oh my–that’s AWFUL! What yarn is it? (Remind me not to buy any).

Thanks for the compliment on my sweater!

Salaams Nurhanne,

My mother is an active knitter! So this is a nice and interesting blog. Insha Allah, I’ll be stopping by again in the future.
