Description:

This swap was around when I first joined at the beginning of the summer, and it was awesome. There are a few other yarn swaps on here, but mostly fancy sock or expensive yarn. As a broke grad student, I as well as many others I'm sure, stick to the sale/clearance items at the chain craft stores. Keeping it simple, keeping it fun. :)

For this swap, it's one (or more if you're feeling generous and really want to destash!) skein of unused yarn from your yarn stash. This yarn must be around 2 ounces in weight, which is just over 50 grams. Original label on yarn is a plus, but not necessary.

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!

I'm keeping this USA/Canada only because last time I had to send over seas and it cost more to ship than what the yarn was worth. :-/

Please remember: The skein of yarn you send must:

~Be unused and in decent condition ~Be something that you would want to receive and make something out of. ~Weight at least two ounces in weight (about 50 grams).

As I am a broke grad student, I'm not able to angel more than one or 2, so NO FLAKERS!!! (Come on now people, don't sign up for this if you're going to be not cool and not send anything in return!) Newbies welcome, as we are all newbies at one point.

**AND this is the first swap I've ever started, so if I'm missing something here just let me know! :)

In the basic info at the top is says USA/Canada, but in the description is says USA only - which one is it? I'm in Canada - I guess I'll try joining and see what happens.

I switched it to USA/Canada in hopes to get more people to join. :)

I like swapping with Canada! It's rarely more than a few pennies more in postage. The customs slip is a hassle, but I know the package will be delivered!
