Schoeller-Stahl Big

I know I have a strict no-endorsement policy on wiseNeedle.  But this is my blog and I'm totally unpaid in all accounts. 

I'm not a big on-line yarn orderer.  I've got to fondle the stuff myself.  However many people have written to me to ask where they can get Big - the yarn that my Firefighters Socks pattern was written for. 

Big was originally a Stahl yarn, it's now listed as Schoeller-Stahl, but it looks like the same stuff.  Big has been hard to find.  So hard in fact that I thought it was totally discontinued.  It just so happens that today it popped up on Elann.com.  [More yadda, yadda - no affiliation, etc.]  If you've been looking for it and your LYS wasn't able to supply the need, you might consider looking there.
