Well. The Rowan Calmer came yesterday afternoon.

But there is a small problem, it doesn’t match the dress. I ordered the color called “khaki” which, as it turns out, is a sage green. Very very pretty, but doesn’t match at all. I should have gone with my gut and ordered off white (Drift) but my head wanted to save a few bucks. But now I can pass the savings on to you! I am offering four balls of Rowan Calmer in Khaki (a.k.a. sage green) for the low low price of $30 (or a comperable trade) and I will throw in free shipping just for fun. This is enough Calmer to make sizes XS-M (32″-36″) of the lacey bolero, Elspeth, from Rowan #37.

The moral of today’s story is: Always check an actual color card if you are trying to match the yarn to something instead of something to the yarn.
