Magic Yarn Ball - Europe Only Swap

You must have a rating of at least 4.5 to take part.

You will have one partner. If you are mailing outside your home country, please keep in mind that the mail may take longer to reach its destination.

To make a magic yarn ball, you will need a new ball of non-acrylic yarn (wool, cotton, silk or a combination of natural fibers.) Over the next few weeks collect all sorts of trinkets to put into your magic ball -- You are also welcome to check your partner's profile to see what he/she likes and add some trinkets that they will especially enjoy.

To make your yarn ball, start with one end and wind it around your first trinket. Wrap each trinket inside the ball -- in the end it's going to be a little lumpy and lopsided. When all the trinkets are hidden inside (or peeking out a bit, like a bookmark or pencil would), dress it up with a bow or other ornament and wrap it in nice tissue paper or wrapping paper. The fun comes at the other end when your swap partner unwraps the yarn ball to find all those surprises waiting inside!

Rules: 1 - NO acrylic yarn. Use a whole ball and please include the label from the ball showing what the yarn is made from. 2 - Contents should value approx £10-£15 before the cost of the yarn, and exclusive of postage. 3 - Handmade items are also fine (with the exception of food -- please do not send home-made foods.) Be sure you send things that you yourself would like to receive -- otherwise you are wasting your money and your partner may be disappointed.

I will delete anyone who does not meet the criteria before I assign partners.
