Whilst in the UK, I stumbled across a small Rowan stockist in Wimborne, Dorset. They had a few hanks of the long since discontinued Rowan California Cotton, which is one of the nicest, most hard wearing cotton's I have ever knit with. Anyhow, I had some at home, but was short about 4 hanks. I told the lady I would take all she had, and she pulled out the 5 she had on the shelf, plus 2 boxes containing 40 more hanks! My eyes popped out of my head, especially when she agreed to let me have them for a pound a hank (about $2.50AUD). I took the lot and trust me, ONE DAY, I shall knit some nice little numbers from Rowan pattern books of old!
