Description:

Yarn lovers unite!! I'm just getting back into swapping and 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:
Size of skein - minimum 250 yds; 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.

For more stash swaps, join the CRKnits group-crocheters and weavers welcome too!

is their a size of skein? I know they vary. I have cotton yarn i can share. I was told in one yarn swap that if it was purchased in a craft or big box store you shouldnt send it. If it meets your other guidlines is it ok if it comes from a craft store? Thank you!

Good question. If you would be disappointed in recieving it, assume it's too small or send 2. Most of those I am considering are between 200 and 300 yards.

Just send a good quality that you would enjoy receiving. Better to ere to the side of generosity...
