Description:

Yarn lovers untie!! I need to do so on the cheap...how about a stash yarn swap?

Send 1 person 1 (or 2) skeins of a natural fiber (wool, alpaca, silk, cotton) from your personal stash that you would really enjoy receiving. For example I have a number of hand dyed sock yarns and some 100% Peruvian wool from Knit Picks that I would love to receive and some others I won't use anytime soon.

Questions:
Quantity - minimum 250 yds total; enough to make something with it or at least add it to a project.

Value - Let's put it at between $5 and $15 so no one feels cheated because they sent a $30 skein of hand-dyed sock yarn (unless you really want to!!)...

Type from craft store allowed - Yes. If it's a good quality that you would enjoy receiving yourself. This isn't a de-stashing exchange the intent is to surprise and delight your partner. Use good judgement.

Guidelines:

Absolutely no acrylic yarns!!

No ratings of 3 or less in last 6 months.

Open to Newbies with fully filled out profile.

I will angel if necessary - but I will also be very careful in checking profiles before matching partners.

Regional to North America, US & Canada. PM me if you want to do an International swap with me.

Join the CRKnits group if your are interested in another stash yarn swap.

Sending group swaps no later than the send-by date is considered a swap requirement. In the rare circumstance that you must send late, please contact your partner AND the swap host no later than the send date. Thank you for your consideration!

Hi, Are you saying one or two skeins with each being 250 yds. or a minimum total total of 250 yds.?

Is a blend with some nylon acceptable for this swap? It seems wool with nylon would be more durable than all wool for knitting socks.

I am confused. Are we being paired with another participant? To whom do we send our yarn?

@pennycarp - A minimum of 250 yards total; try to keep them in the same type/family.

@pennycarp - I havn't used much nylon as far as I know. I think it's acceptable as long as the overall quality of the yarn is good.

@lulu0621 - We will have 1 swap partner.

I clarified the quantity - thanks for the post. Good question.
