Folkloor ja muud jutud/Folklore and other matters

Üks lõngapoe müüja ütles mulle kunagi, et ei saa usaldada vardanumbrit, mis seisab lõngatoki sildil. Ütleski, et see on "folkloor". Nüüd veendusin selles isegi. Schoppel Merino Lace'i sildil on kirjas varras nr 5. Hakkasin sellega proovilappi tegema, on auk augu kukil! Siis vaatasin õigupoolest, et 50 g = 400 m, seega on lõng võrreldav peenikese mohääriga. Kuna koon suhteliselt lõdvalt, tähendab see, et nr 4 on täiesti paras.
A saleswoman in a yarnsshop told me once that one cannot trust the needle size recommended on the label. She actually said that the needle size indicated there was "folklore". Recently I've had a chance to experience it. Schoppel Merino Lace label says needles 5 mm. I started swatching and there were holes, holes, holes! Then I figured out that, as a matter of fact, 50 g = 400 m is comparable to usual thin mohair. While my knitting is relatively loose, no 4 seems rather appropriate.
Kui juba jutte rääkida, siis räägin lõngaröövist. Lianni pidid saabuma uued lõngad, sellest rääkis müüja nädal aega tagasi. Nüüd kuulsin, et lõngad pole veel saabunud, kuna möödunud nädalal kusagil Prantsusmaal rööviti ära konteiner, kus olid muuhulgas meile mõeldud lõngad. Lõngad olevat alles, röövlid tabatud, muu kraami kohta ei tea. Saabuvat mõningase hilinemisega. Huvitav, kas röövilid olid ka pettunud?
If we are into telling stories, I am going to tell about a yarn robbery. Liann yarn store was expecting some new yarns, as I heard a week ago. Now I heard that the yarn had not arrived because somewhere in France the container had been robbed where, among other things, the yarns were stored. They say that the yarns have not disappeared, the robbers caught, the fate of the rest of the cargo is unknown. The yarns are expected sometimes later. I wonder whether the robbers were disappointed?
