Title: Asbell Timber Ghost Wool
Post by: Roger Norris on October 29, 2012, 10:26:00 AM: Hey guys - A few years ago, the Asbells had this wool pattern, that they called "Timber Ghost". It sold well, but like all of the Asbell wool patterns, it was a custom run of wool. It is now gone (which isn't to say it won't be back, if demand warrants)

BUT... we are just a few days away from this new pattern:

We have kicked around name ideas since late summer....and we keep coming back to "Timber Ghost".....we have considered calling this Timber Ghost, and should we run the aaforementioned pattern again, calling that "The Original Timber Ghost"....any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your opinions and advice!

Post by: Razorbak on October 29, 2012, 11:58:00 AM: the new one should be called the Timber Spirit and the original stay the same as to let them have their own Identity..with that said I need to order some wool for the first time..

Those sound like good suggestions, Phil, and leave the old name available in case that pattern is ever resurrected someday. I like the way you think! :thumbsup:

Post by: Roger Norris on October 30, 2012, 05:41:00 PM: Guys, I get pretty enthusiastic over some of Teresa's patterns. At different times I have declared Evening Stand Green, Silent Stalker Green, and Cedar Swamp Plaid as "The greatest pattern ever". Please forgive my exuberance. I love wool, I love plaid, and I love that it is so effective vs commercial camoflauge.I say this because I am pretty dang excited about this new Timber Ghost. It really has an important place in the line up. It's thicker, it's brushed for that soft/quiet feel, and Teresa was thinking about the November woods when she put this one together. This one is going to be special. Don't count on there being a bunch left at Kalamazoo. It's going to go quick. Absolutely terrific job Teresa

Post by: huntingarcher on October 30, 2012, 08:29:00 PM: I like it and placed my order today.It does not get real cold here for very long.When it gets in the mid 40's here a long sleeve tshirt and a pull over is perfect.

Post by: Gila Mike on October 31, 2012, 12:07:00 PM: Roger, I really like that new pattern. I think it would be a good one for the later season when we have some snow on the ground up here in the mountains. Will it be available in a good heavy weight wool?

Mike

Sorry, Roger. Never mind. I should have gone to the site before I asked. :knothead:

I see she now has them all listed and indexed by weight. That's perfect! :clapper:

It's going to be "Blanket Weight" for me!
