Stash Yarn Swap - Premium Sock Yarn

Yarn lovers unite and untie!!

Note: Extended deadlines for financial reasons (please see profile). Update: 8/30/11

This is a yarn swap for one of my favorite yarns - premium sock yarn. Natural fiber (wool, alpaca, etc. please avoid cotton) natural fiber must be at least 75% of the content. See below for brands.

Send 1 partner enough sock yarn to make themselves a beautiful new pair of socks for the season. Use yarn from your personal stash or shop for your partner and send a new skein suited to their profile. This is senders choice. Send the yarn that would make you wimper with delight. I'm going to have to do some shopping myself, my stash is getting depleted...goody, goody, goody!

Optional: include a copy of your favorite sock pattern in the package and why you like it.

Guidelines:

Amount - minimum 375 yds

Purchase Value - $25-$30. You are always encouraged to send your partner more!

Due to some additional discussions, I am clarifying the craft store quality below.

Acceptable brands (or similar): handpainted yarns, Noro, Smooshy, Painted Skeins, Jitterbug, Zauberball, Sanguine Gryphon, Shaeffer Anne, Socks that Rock, Cascade Heritage silk, Knit 1 Crochet too (Croc-o-dye), Madeleine Tosh sock, indie-dyers, Happy Feet, Trekking and Jitterbug (others?)

Type from craft store allowed - Absolutely not. Unacceptable brands (ie, if you can purchase it at a craft store assume it is not acceptable for this swap): Kroy, Lion, Red Heart (what others would make you frown if you received it?)
