Aldi Aran

Just a heads up to this from a couple of weeks ago- Aldi have haberdashery this week and have Aran wool. The op might be lucky!

It's a long shot but I just Googled the search term.

"find Odd balls of knitting yarn"

I managed to get some after running out unfinished from a company down south but I cannot remember what the name was. I will have a furtle around.

This has just happened to me and I have done short sleeves in the other dye lot; it is a random pattern though so I'm hoping it will look OK.

Hildajenni Don't tell me either. I have enough of a stash of yarn as it is. I am about to go online to see what there is.

The problem is in getting the dye lot right. What parts of the garment have you not quite finished? Is there any way you could you could incorporate a substitute colour as a design feature. Cuffs on sleeves or such.

If you have no luck cwasin then you could try asking on somewhere like Ravelry in case anyone has any left over.

Ah! mostly in store soon, no temptation as we don't have an Aldi nearby.

if I got off GN my stash would go down

I didn't realise they did online.
I wish you hadn't told me that hildajenni my stash is getting bigger
going to look now

When it isn't in the stores, Aldi sell yarn online. They are doing a hobby event on Thursday so I've given my husband a list. ☺

Take a ball of the yarn you have already because the dye number will probably be different and you need to get as near as possible. It may not vary much at all, especially with cream but sometimes the dye varies slightly.

ps I would take a half used ball in case they think you're trying to 'lift' it

Good luck

Thank you everyone. Early start for me on Thursday.

Have to get round early otherwise it will all be sold out.

As above, Thursday wool event with cream Aran.

Have a look at .........https://www.aldi.co.uk/search?text=aldi aran wool cream COMING SOON!

I haven't used heir Aran for a while I'm afraid; I mostly buy their DK. Could you email their customer services and see if they can help?

I bought some grey flecked chunky knitting wool from Aldi last year and a knitting book and it was brilliant for hats and scarves. Will have a look this week for some more. Can't help with the cream sorry!

Aldi have a wool event on Thursday.
