Hand-dyed Yarn - Spring

I love hand-dyed and hand-painted yarn -- and I'd bet you do, too! For those of us following one of the knit-from-your-stash "yarn diets," hey, this isn't a yarn purchase ... It's a yarn gift! So come on in and enhance your stash with some scrumptious hand-dyed yarn. If this is popular enough, we'll have another. :D

You'll have one partner, whom you'll send one skein of yarn. This yarn must be...

• Hand-dyed or hand-painted -- store-bought, dyed by you, or whatever else is fine, as long as it's hand-dyed.
• Around 2 ounces in weight, which is just over 50 grams. Check the yarn label for the weight; handspinners, you already know how to weigh your yarns, right? ;D
• Good quality yarn with a good quality dye job, i.e., not some horribly failed experiment, but that's a given, I hope! Food-grade dyes like Kool-Aid and Wilton's are permitted, however, and it's also true that some people's failed experiments are other people's dream yarns. ;)

I'm not requiring swappers to conform to their partners' specific preferences, since hand-dyed is specific enough, IMO. But feel free to post preferences (fiber, color, etc.) in the comments section below in case your partner does want to tailor their swap to you. If they do, I hope you'll be extra appreciative. ;D (If your partner posts allergies, however, do definitely respect that. ;))

Oh, and there's about a month between the end of signups and the send-by date, to allow for people to hand-dye their own yarn if they like.

Any questions?

Happy swapping!
