AllFreeKnitting's Stash Busting Yarn Swap!

Do you have to buy at least 3 skeins of yarn every time you find yourself near a Hobby Lobby? Have you considered renting a storage space just to keep some of your spare yarn? Well, my friend, it's time you took part in a yarn swap! Ever since FaveCrafts hosted its first Valentine's Day Card Swap, I've been dying to get us knitters in on the fun!

If you've never heard of swapping before, here's what it's all about: Everyone who participates is assigned a partner (or two, or three--for this swap, you will be assigned 2 partners). Then every swap participant makes/buys/procures the item to be swapped.

For this swap, it's one skein of unused yarn from your yarn stash (I know you have one). This yarn must be around 2 ounces in weight, which is just over 50 grams. Once you receive your swap partners' addresses, you send them one skein of yarn, and they'll send you one in return.

Swaps are a fun way to facilitate a sense of community among fellow knitters. Plus, who doesn't love getting a package!? If you are looking for a fun way to get rid of some of your stash, and get some beautiful new yarn in return, this yarn swap is just what you need!

Please remember: The skein of yarn you send must:

1. Be unused and in decent condition

2. Weight at least two ounces in weight (about 50 grams).

Happy Swapping!
