Please Take Some of this Yarn Off My Hands
June 27th, 2008 | View Comments
Update July 12, 2008: Please see this post for updated stash sale info.
So…what have I been up to this last month? Not hiding from my fellow knitters, that is for sure. I did a very cool project for Lauren at LaBeana Bags, which you may see the fruits of shortly. And I am in the last stages of:
- Figuring out dissertation logistics—the proposal is written, I just need to put out a fire on the experimental logistics front
- Wedding planning
- Moving planning
And that last item is what bwings us togevaaaaaaah today.
Let’s face it, I have no use for bulky wool in Texas. So I beg of y’all who have actual winters to please take some of it off my hands. Along with some orphan yarn and yarn that I’m just tired of looking at. All yarn has been stored in drawers or plastic ziploc bags in a smoke-free, pet-free home.
If you’re interested in any of the yarn listed below or if you have any questions, please send me an e-mail. Prices listed are in USD and include first-class shipping to the contiguous 48 states.
