Does anyone remember using Patons Fiona in the 1960s/70s? If so, what weight is it - I'm thinking DK, but not really sure. Also does anyone have a pattern book featuring Twiggy - again using Fiona? There were several patterns in it, including one short sleeved sweater with a fair-isle yoke.

Thanks.

Sally

Hi Sallyp I think your right about it being DK I have the book your looking for but mine is very very tatty the first pattern in the book is the worst. The rest are readable. The fair isle pattern is knitted on 10 and 8 needles. If you would like this book let me know. Suzy

Yes please - tatty doesn't matter, as long as it is readable. Do you want my address; also what about cost, postage whatever? Thanks, it will bring back so many memories. Best wishes. Sally
