Yarn De-Stash Event Part Uno

You know how crazy-busy I am. In spite of that, I slowly continue to hoard yarn.

Any rate, I'm going to post pics of yarn for sale a couple at a time. I am very busy with all sorts of projects, so I'm going to work this process in little batches. Just stay tuned for more yarn. Some of it is great; some of it not-so. You be the judge. I'll take PayPal only and this time, I'd prefer to only ship within the United States (sorry other folks; I just can't stand in line at the P.O. right now.) Shipping will be included in the total price unless other arrangements are made. Priority mail only. First person to offer for the lot will get the deal. If they don't respond or send PayPal in 24 hours, then I'll offer the yarn to the next person in line.  PLEASE: Once you write me to express your interest, wait for me to respond by email so you know where to send payment, since I have a very secret and elusive PayPal email address. (Just kidding; but do wait, please.)

Blue Sky Cotton Color 605, 12 whopping hanks - SOLD!

Worsted Weight (150 yards / 100 grams / 4-5 sts per inch on 7-9 needles)

Don't ask me why I purchased 12 hanks of this stuff. Twelve hanks? I must have been planning for a nice, cozy sweater or something. But that was YEARS ago. I re-visited this yarn a few months ago when I embarked on an unfinished journey of re-vamping Girlfriend's Swing Coat Sweater until I realized that this color is now discontinued. And since I don't have the time to knit for myself at the moment, this yarn can be yours. And if you have Custom Knits and want to knit the Indigo Playmate cardigan, there's enough in this lot to do it in any of the sizes. I will warn you that it was hard to photograph the color perfectly. The color is not quite as bright as in the picture and it has a bit of a dijon-ish-ness to it.

Twelve full hanks: $64.00 (I think the price per hank is around $9.50 for current colors). Includes domestic postage. Be the first to write me at knitandtonicATgmailDOTcom and it's yours, baby.

Araucania Pehuén, 100% Cotton, Color 13, 4 hanks - SOLD!

Worsted Weight (131 yards / 100 grams / 4-5 sts per inch on 6-8 needles)

Back in the day when I was still operating under the delusion that I could squeeze in enough personal time to knit Girlfriend a little shrug, I bought these. I guess I wasn't that crazy--in those days she was small enough that I could pull it off in a weekend--but now? Forget about it! I still think that this sweet boucle would look wonderful on a little girl, but knit up first. I doubt she'd feel comfortable just hanging a hank or four around her neck.

Four full hanks: $42.00 (I think the price per hank is around $12 for discontinued colors). INCLUDES domestic postage. Be the first to write me at knitandtonicATgmailDOTcom and it's yours.

Blue Sky Cotton Color 621,  3 hanks - SOLD!

Worsted Weight (150 yards / 100 grams / 4-5 sts per inch on 7-9 needles)

These are what is left of the yarn I used to knit Flair. Remember Flair? Not sure why I held onto the leftovers, but these three hanks would be enough to knit a nice scarf or a hefty cowl, especially if you don't like the feel of scratchy wool against your skin.

Three full hanks: $18.50. INCLUDES domestic postage. Be the first to write me at knitandtonicATgmailDOTcom and it's yours.

 

Queensland Collection Maldive, Cotton/Viscose/Acrylic, Color 14, 5 skeins  SOLD!

Worsted Weight (90 yards / 50 grams / 5 - 6 sts per inch on 6 needles)

I was knitting a sweater in this yarn in an ivory color and loved every minute of it so I snatched this up in this sweet color to make something for Girlfriend. And you know the story well: Never had the time to do it! There are tiny flecks of charcoal and a gold color. The sweater I was knitting had a crochet border and if you're into crochet, know this: This yarn is great for crochet, too! It kind of makes me sick to part with this, but guess what? I have two other colors of this stuff in my stash, come to think of it. *Off to go looking for it*

Five skeins: $22.50. INCLUDES domestic postage. Be the first to write me at knitandtonicATgmailDOTcom and it's yours.
