Possible New Knitting Project

Recently I have been enjoying Arne and Carlos and their Daily Quarantine Knitting KAL.  (They also have a great YouTube channel). Some years ago I found their book 55 Christmas Balls.  It is filled with beautiful Christmas balls.  I think I started to knit a ball at one point. Well, now I have thought about that again.  I ordered some white and some red yarn online.

This is the ball I knit this week.  It is ready to duplicate stitch a design in red onto the ball. You can also actually knit in the design, which I would probably do the next time... The ball is way bigger than I imagined. I used worsted weight yarn and US 4 double pointed needles.  I have to say that I will not be making these balls.

 

As you can tell, this is a VERY large ball.  That is one reason I won't be knitting a ton of them.  The  other reason I won't be knitting these balls, or at least, not with this yarn, is I don't like the way the yarn feels on my fingers.  I will need the actual wool that Arne and Carlos recommend.  I have not found the yarn they suggest.  However, I should be able to find a similar yarn. I believe it is a fingering weight.  Well, it seems to be a 4-ply European wool.   

 Maybe someone knows a shop that sells this kind of yarn.  If so, I would like the information.  I expect it will be pricey so I want to see it in person before laying down the cash!
