Yarn De-Stash Event Part B

There's nothing like unloading a heap of yarn in order to make room for some more. Heh. Actually, I'm more of the mind that I might be able to re-claim my closet. Not that I have any clothes to put in there. I've spent the last three years indoors, knitting. In my pajamas.

Just as I have done in the past de-stash events, I will post pics of yarn for sale a handful 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 is stuff that I can't stand, but I won't fess up no matter how much you pay me. I'm emotionally attached to all of it, either way, which might mean I have a personality disorder, but what they heck.

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.)

Oh, BTW: Can't say that Rocko or Chuck haven't sniffed any of this stuff in the past.

Filati Cotton, mulicolors: black, light pink, spring green. Don't believe the photo. 10 balls.

DK weight (135 meters / 50 grams / 6 sts per inch on "probably" size 5 or 6 needles)

Okay. Here's the deal. I found this yarn on Elann.com (one of my favorite secret pastimes) and I bought THREE full bags of the stuff in three different colorways. I envisioned myself crocheting little motifs and connecting as I crocheted, delightfully so, and ending up with a charming multi-colored swirl of a blanket. (Actually, three.) I managed to hack the first attempt so badly that I threw in the towel. I have this one bag leftover that is still intact. The other two, well, let's just say I fiddled with them too much to actually give away. If you are completely nuts like I am, you'll love this stuff. Like I said above, the colors are a little more vibrant and you can see pink a lot more than in the picture. If you buy this and actually make a little crocheted blanket out of it, one that swirls like I had envisioned, I will love you forever if you show me a picture.

10 balls of pure torture and dreams that may never come true, $32.45 (Funny number only because I'm in a good mood.) Includes domestic postage. Be the first to write me at knitandtonicATgmailDOTcom and it's yours.

 


Malabrigo Fantasy Selection-Grab Bag. 2 hanks Silky Merino (Silk/Merino), #2810, 1 hank Kettled Dyed Merino, #41 Burgundy

Silky Merino: DK weight (150 yards / 50 grams / 5.5-6 sts per inch on "probably" size 5 or 6 needles)

Kettle Dyed: Worsted weight (210 yards / 100 grams / 4-5 sts per inch on 7-9 needles)

I love Malabrigo yarn. Love, love love it. I just have too much of it. Come to think of it, I have two cakes of it sitting up in my office and it stares at me and I'd totally add those two to this grab bag, but I'm not yet ready to part with it. The Silky Merino was something that I purchased on a whim--you know what I'm talking about--and the other skein is one that is leftover from a project that I have in my third book. There's enough of the Silky Merino to make a shawlette or a scarf and the Kettle Dyed will make you a hat or mittens or something along those lines.

Malabrigo Fantasy Selection Grab Bag, $20.50. The Silky Merino retails at $9.50 each. Not sure about the Kettle Dyed since I usually black out when I purchase the stuff. Includes domestic priority mail postage. Be the first to write me at knitandtonicATgmailDOTcom and it's yours.

Aslan Trends Artesanal, 3 hanks color 218, cotton/alpaca/polyamide

Heavy Worsted (218 yards / 100 grams / 4 sts per inch on 8-10 needles)

I bought these, I think, when I was at a book signing in Colorado somewhere. Love the denim look of it. Love the color. Makes me think of heathery yarn without the itch. Not sure why I never got around to designing something for it or just knitting it for pleasure, but at this point in time, you'll have more fun with it. It almost pains me to send this off, but if it just sits on my shelf, it'll be full of cobwebs by the time I get to it. Bye bye, my love. I will miss you, but you are better off with someone who will knit or crochet or weave you.

Aslan Trends Artesanal, 3 hanks, $26.00. It retails between $10 and $13.50 each. Includes domestic priority mail postage. Be the first to write me at knitandtonicATgmailDOTcom and it's yours.
