I was expecting to pay around £200-£250, not top of the range, but not at the bottom either. I can't afford more than that, but as it's a new venture for me and I can't be 100% sure that I'm going to embrace sewing with a machine then I don't want to risk any more. I was suprised to see such high prices though!

Another of my flist recently dyed yarn with Kool-aid, she accounced it a great success. I think somebody sent her the Kool aid though, I'm not sure if it's available here.
