Stash Swap

This past Monday was our No-Holds-Barred-Stash-Sale-and-Swap at PurlyGirls (thanks to Jessica for organizing).

I didn't have much in the way of decent yarn that I was ready to part with, but I did bring tons of embarrassing acrylic!


Clockwise from top: Three cakes of a mysterious multi-strand yarn, kind of caramel-ish, bought on eBay years ago; three skeins of Lion's Brand homespun; strange crimped blue yarn from Czechoslovakia, de-stashed my way when Annie ran away to sea; Trendsetter Dune; alpaca/poly blend, Czech, Annie; Horrible Bernat boucle monstrosity that looks like it's been rolling in dust; Katia Danubio (center, red); alpaca boucle (center, brown)

Lynn took my ball of Dune in trade for two beautiful balls of Debbie Bliss alpaca silk.



I can't decide whether these are brown or purple; they seem to change with the light. They're incredibly soft, and I think I'll use them for a mobeius neck warmer.

Nobody touched the rest of my stuff (and I can't say I blame them), but I donated the Bernat to Goodwill, and was able to give all the strange Czech yarn back to Annie the next day, and Marni took the Lion's Brand homespun. All in all, a successful pruning.
