6 skeins Debbie Bliss Pure Silk

I started the lace shrug from the Debbie Bliss Pure Silk book with this. The yarn is gorgeous, the shrug is gorgeous. I just put it down and can't summon the effort to pick it up again. 6 balls total in color #07, turquoise. 2 balls are already knit. You can keep knitting or rip, wash, and start something new!

Such a pretty red. But I have too many kids to be wearing a mohair sweater. 1 ball has been knit and needs to be frogged. Color #04, red.

$40

1 Morehouse Merino Lily Chapeau KnitKit

Beautiful yarn, super cute hat pattern. I wound the yarn and then we got off on the wrong foot, er, needle. You wanna try?

$15 [on hold for A]

8 skeins Rowan summer tweed

This one needs some love. I knit all but 2 hanks into a crazy sweater and then totally decided I didn't like it. Needs to be frogged, washed, and rewound, but then you're ready to go for a whole sweater! Color #500, light blue.

$40 [SOLD]

1 skein chunky cashmere/lambswool handspun

Local handspun cashmere, bought at Circles, my local store focusing on small farms and unique yarns. It's sooooo soft. 70 yards in beiges, browns. Treat yourself!

$15 [SOLD]

1 Petit Pinquouin sweater kit

Got this at a yarn swap. A cute kit to make a baby sweater, complete with instructions, yarn and trims. A very nice acrylic - excellent for making allergen-free preemie and newborn items! 4 balls sport/fingering weight in white for a total of 1000yds.

$10 [SOLD]

2 skeins Jaeger Matchmaker DK

I bought three of these for a wee baby sweater, but have lost one of them. (Sign #142 that your stash is too big.) Color #870, salmon pink.

$5 [SOLD]

Crystal Palace cotton chenille grab bag

Leftovers from the geek spiral sweater I made, along with 4 whole hanks in similar colors. Would be great for a stripey baby blanket or sweater!

$20 [SOLD]

2 balls Jo Sharp DK wool

Great yarn in a handsome dark/light blue marl (color #706). I bought it to make socks.

8 skeins Rowan Cork

Oh, I had such high hopes for this yarn. I started one sweater with it, then changed my mind and knit sleeves of another sweater, then changed my mind again and knit the body of a third. I give up! Four balls are still unused. Get frogging and you'll have 8 (it may even be 9) balls, plenty for a whole sweater. Color #046, light blue. Plus a bonus two balls of Lana Grossa Royal Tweed (one knit into collar, one unused) in color #10.

$50 [SOLD]

7 skeins Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool

Love this yarn! I'm almost done with a sweater in red silky wool, but don't quite know what to do with these. Do you? 3 in color #06, orange, 4 in color #016, "mahogany".

$40 [SOLD]

Tahki Windsor Tweed

I knit an entire sweater with this and then, when I lost my post-baby weight and it didn't fit anymore, I frogged it. You wanna make something with it? Fun, bright green color. Would be great for kids' outerwear.

$25 [SOLD]

3 skeins ArtYarns Supermerino

These are gorgeous! Left over from a yet unpublished baby sweater design of mine. 2 hanks color #143 (dark blues, browns), 1 hank #249 (coordinating brown).

$18 [SOLD]
