This means no ordinary Anchor or DMC floss!

Any hand-dyed threads, silks, perle etc. Examples (and these are only examples) are Polstitches, Dinky Dyes, Victoria Clayton, SSS.

Send TWO different skeins to your partner. This is an international swap but will be cheap to post.

Please ensure that your profile is up to date with colour likes/dislikes and any other information which will be of help to your partner.

There is a short sign-up period and a mail-out date of the middle of November so that threads will be in the post long before Christmas.

Enjoy!

Can we dye our own?

user3551 10/31/2006 #

Absolutely! As long as it's something you'd like to receive yourself, you're more than welcome to dye your own :-)

I've noticed that a few people in this swap have no profile from which to cull some info - will there be some likes/dislikes sharing before we send out our fibers, such as favorite colors and materials (silk, cotton, etc.)? I want my swap friend to really enjoy his/her package.

I'm really excited about this swap! Cheers!

user3551 11/ 8/2006 #

I'll try and e-mail everyone who hasn't mentioned any likes/dislikes over the next week, Thanks for pointing that out, Mel!

How can we know our partners? I have just signed up for this myself and would love to participate.

You'll be able to view your partner once the sign-up date has passed (Wednesday)

Hope you all have fun and get some lovely threads :-)

Hello Fernanda,

I've gotten you for another swap (I think this makes 3 now!), and since your email won't work for me I'm going to try to contact you here. Have you got any fibre and colour preferences for your threads? Please let me know if you get a chance. Thanks, 

Kate (kate.cooper@the-spa.com)

Hi Johanna,

My beautiful threads arrived this morning. Thank you so much they are lovely and I haven't got either of them. Also the little bag they came in was so pretty, I am going to put some threads in it for my daughter for Christmas as I know she will love it too.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO LEAVE A RATING FOR JOHANNA AS I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ON HERE TELLING ME HOW TO DO IT.

THANKS HELEN aka stitchingranny

Janetburns 11/22/2006 #

st6ichingranny, You have to wait one week after the swap is due then you go back and they have a line where you can rate your partner. Click on that and the name will appear and then you can rate. Janet

Janetburns 11/22/2006 #

Elaine Handy, Your wonderful thread is here. Thank you. Janet

user4900 11/22/2006 #

Hi Jacky (itch2stitch),

So glad you like your threads! If you still have my e-mail, I'd love to see a picture of what you've created with them when you're done!

Cheers! Mel

user4889 12/ 1/2006 #

Hi there Janet Burns, I got your threads yesterday in the post. Thanks so much for them!

Kind regards Carole (in Gibraltar)

keroleen73 12/ 7/2006 #

I noticed that the partner who was supposed to send me my threads has more no sends than positive ratings. Maybe for the next swap you could ban people with low ratings? I'm glad you liked the floss, Helen ^_^

PS: Needless to say, I'm still waiting for my threads to arrive :-(((

user4611 12/ 8/2006 #

I sent mine off Novemeber 20th to the UK, I hope the arrive to my partner soon. :)
