I have spent more time than I will admit to anyone coasting around Ravelry drooling over yarn. I had a few yarn ideas from the LYS and Knit Picks, but also thought I might find something nice through the stash buying on Ravelry.
It didn't take long for a firm idea of what sort of yarn I was looking for: crisp twist/plied, light to medium gray, quality/upscale fiber.
I browsed yarns. I pored over details about yarn, comments and descriptions. I compared various pictures of the same colorway, to eliminate monitor/color issues. I took notes on fiber content, gauge, and general attributes. I scoped on what other knitters had made from this yarn, judging their final products (taking into consideration the variation of patterns and user idiosyncrasy.)
I mean, this time I have done my research!
And now I have it narrowed down to two sellers. Same yarn, slightly different shades of gray, close in yardage, and close in price. So which to buy. . ..
I am tempted to contact both sellers, and see who responds first.
Today, it is all about the response time.
