INTERNATIONAL Yarn snobs need not apply. This swap is just for the acrylic yarn everyone loves to hate, but we all have it in our stash. The Red Heart, Sayelle, Wintuk, Caron etc. Admit it. Acrylic yarn has its uses. It's good for toys, amigurumi, freeform, dog blankets-lol... I love natural yarns and will fork over a pretty penny on just one skein, but when it comes to buying acrylic, I can't justify spending a couple of measly dollars for a fat skein that is going to take me forever to use up. But, acrylic yarn has come a long way from the scratchy indestructable stuff made into Grandma's granny square afghan! There are some really soft acrylics and quite a few beautiful self striping coloraways! We will be sending to one partner 5 ounces/142 grams worsted weight/10 ply(UK) acrylic in 5 different colors, 1 ounce/28 grams for each color(approx. 55 yards/50 meters per ball). Decimals were rounded to the nearest tenth. Limits- two ball may be variegated, one ball may be vintage(clean!), and only one ball may be brown! No color wish lists. This is to help spread out our stash, not buying to suit our partner's wants. But, feel free to look at your partners profile for color ideas. .>>>>>INTERNATIONAL!!! If postage is a problem, please do not join!.<<<<< No no-sends within the past three months. Newbies welcome with a filled profile. I do final checks when sign-ups end. |
