That was the best comment ever by Bethe yesterday. I thought I’d share a bit more with y’all since I was able to get some better pictures today and you seemed to enjoy looking at it. We had a staff meeting this morning and I brought my camera. Don’t click the picture unless you want to see the Koigu up close. Major Koigasm alert!!
There it is in all it’s glory. We got 20 skeins of each of those colors. I heard today that most stores now have to wait 1.5 YEARS to get their next shipments. How crazy is that? I bet we have the biggest supply of Koigu in the world right now.
Here was the fun part today. I got to hand-pick two sets of colors for Knit, Mama! Knit! for blankets for her twin girls. She wanted pinks for one and purples for the other one. I gave her two choices for the purple one. How about my readers can say which one they like best. Choice #1 or choice #2. I think I like #2 best.
And then I put aside this yummy color for Bellamoden who saw it through the plastic in that crappy camera-phone picture!
With all of these pictures make sure you click it again once it opens up so you can see the actual size. I uploadede big ones so everyone could really see it. So who else wants some!?

Hi my name is Frarochvia of bellamoden and I am now famous
I don’t like the fourth option you put up in choice #2 at all. I may have a minor aversion to brown, though. Brown is… brown.
Sigh. I am so loving that teal and blue. Tell me, Scout, what would I do with it? Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Oops I meant choice 1. Stupid me. I don’t like choice 1. I likes choice 2 muchly.
It’s all so gorgeous. I might like some purple. I just don’t have any purple in my stash.
Dear Lord, it’s like a Koigu orgy over there at the shop! Now only if I had some money!!! I hope there’s still good colors in a couple of weeks when I start my new job. Maybe you can set some aside for me
I need some scouty…. I am weak!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Um, I pick choice #2. You are making me regret selling my koigu.
I also like choice 2.
And those purples, second from bottom left… weakening… weakening…
I have to ask, Christine: why did you Sell The Koigu?
I need some of that TEAL! It is the exact color
I have been looking for. I have been on a very bad yarn buying
binge. I feel like Bree from Desperate Housewives.
I guess I am making a trip to the yarn store.
Lovely! That’s about 500% prettier than the stuff one of our LYS just received.
I like choice #2.
Wow, the Temple Koigu is gorgeous. I’d just put up a sheet of glass and not let anyone touch it. Line up a row of chairs in front and sell admission just to LOOK at it. (Like a Yarn Zoo. The Koigu Yarn Zoo!)
I just started weeping with longing. I have koigu for Charlotte’s Web. I need more koigu…different koigu…*sob* So…beautiful.
That Koigu is beautiful! I love the teals. When I click on Choice 1 and Choice 2, I get put back on the main page. Am I doing something wrong?
Wahhhh
I can’t see the pictures!
Whenever I click, I get sent back to the main page.
craving koigu…
I can’t see the photos???
I click on the link and it just pops up another page of your blog… Must be Firefox…
choice 1. love tan with the bold teal and what looks to be burnt orange
…so much so that i w a n t t h a t s k e i n!!!!!
choice 2 makes my heart beat faster.
swoon
JWW
dear!! can we have more pictures, more, more!! it is gorgoues!!!
I want some, I want some! What do I have to do to convince you to save me some?
OMIGOD. I think I just passed out.
That’s a whole lotta Koigu, sister! I’ve never knit with it, is it nice? Can you knit socks with it? Am I sounding ignorant right now? Just ignore me.
mmmmmmmmm.
choice #2
I like choice #2, too.
I’m glad that I am 2,000+ miles away from that stuff, I am soooooo weak when it comes to pretty yarn.
I saw that you are one of the list mom’s for the STR KAL. How do you sign
up? I went to the web site but couldn’t get anywhere. Thanks for the info.

Holy crap that koigu is beautiful. Bet its all squishy,soft, cuddly. Oh my.
Very pretty! I especially like the blues and purples! By the way I scrolled down
the page (just browsing); your and Carole’s little boys are adorable. I love the snaggle-
tooth look!
Beautiful colors!!
Umm…I’m with Libby. I’ve never knit with Koigu. But how much does it sell for?? I like the blue on the left second shelf from the bottom. It’s sitting on teal and has purple yarn to the right of it. Does your shop take orders???
Ooh that looks even more exciting close up!
Oh my…I’m getting lightheaded. Must.step.away.from.computer….
I go with choice #2 also…
Oh well, enough for the yarn diet… Guess I will have to try to sneak out of here early today and head over to get me some of that Koigu… Hey, my schedule is clear after 1pm… Hmmm… (cough) I feel a (sneeze) 24 hour bug (COUGH) coming on… I think I may need to (AH-CHOO) go home early today
Does your store have an online shop? We’re not all in beautiful NM!
groan….. oh my god you are so freakin lucky! I have 4 total skeins of koigu in my stash which I recently aquired.
I would totally love 2 of everything, but the purple on the second shelf from the bottom on the left looks mighty
tempting!!!!
Choice two, definitely. And, oh boy, that Koigu looks wonderful! I can’t decide if it’s good or bad that I’m 3000 miles away! (grin)
Koigasm is right! I’m late to the party, but I just have to say “WOW”. I’ve got 2 skeins, but had to order from online (can’t find it locally at all), so it wasn’t exactly what I was expecting - but hey - it’s still Koigu and destined to be socks for me! Lucky you to be able to see all that in one place. I have serious envy. (and way too much caffeine in me this morning)!
OMG! I’m dying over here. .. You guys got all the GOOD colors! (droooooool!)
Isn’t it the best when those big boxes arrive? I almost always end up taking one skein of each new color. . . but first I was to just dive in!

Quick and dirty……
My dealer hooked me up - check it outClick on the image to see what was in the package.So after petting the Koigu for a few minutes I put it in its place of honor.behind the couch. And, since my car and I labor under a bumper sticker curse (come on,…
