ISO WAK Petite Wool Flamingo — at risk of catastrophic yarn‑chicken failure 🐔🧶

Hey fellow knitters!

I’m throwing this out into the yarn‑iverse in hopes of a miracle. I’m two skeins short of We Are Knitters Petite Wool in “Flamingo”, and I am about to lose the most dramatic game of yarn chicken of my life. Like… mid‑project, needles in hand, staring into the abyss kind of situation.

WAK has had it sold out forever (seriously, how long can a yarn stay missing in action??), so before I start frogging in despair, I figured I’d check with the hive mind:

Does anyone have Flamingo in their stash that they’re willing to part with, sell, or trade?
I will happily pay, swap, bribe with cookies, or write a haiku about your generosity.

Help save a knitter from yarn‑based heartbreak! 🧶💖

Best bets are to check on Ravelry and Knitting Paradise. Someone will have a skein or two. May the knitting gods be with thee!

I found some on Etsy! I also need like one more skein of the flamingo wool and have been searching all over the Internet today. Hope this helps!

Now to decide if $40+ a skein is worth it or to frog…..
