Destash! Something for everyone.

Lots of choices! Read all the way to the end--all sorts of yarns and tools etc.!

1 huge ball Southwest Trading Company "Pagoda" in an explosion of white, blue, green, and other colors (color Peacock, Item #309). 100% polyester and so incredibly soft. 100g/100m. 13 sts, 14 rows = 4"/10cm on US 10.5. $2 with anything else on this list. PENDING





2 balls dark chocolate Firenze (Plymouth Yarns) made in Italy. Color 419, lot 67. 30% wool, 30% acrylic, 40% nylon, so soft and warm, too. 3 sts/in on US 11. 50g, 50m/55yds. I bought these to make a "magic scarf." I made one out of a milk-chocolate pair and I love it, but found that I haveother yarn this same color already. So these are available. $8 for both, postpaid.



1 ball "Trellis" by Lion Brands. This is a ladder yarn and the colors are incredible--this colorway is Copper Penny (308,lot 58175). 50g 115yds/105m, 100% nylon. If you want, I can dig up the rest of the previous ball and add it in. $3 postpaid. PENDING

Two sets Plymouth bamboo circular needles, size US15, 32". Never used. Would you believe I bought 3 of these before I realized it? Oy. $5 each, postpaid. 1 set is SOLD, one is PENDING






Other:

Hand-Painted Self-Striping Yarn hat kit with the self-striping part in earthy shades of yellow, grey, and brown, and the accent yarn in 2 skeins (enough for two hats!) in a lovely variegated blue-jeans shade (lot 121505). Super-soft merino yarn (50 g, 176 yds ea). $25 for all, postpaid. Further explanation: The hideous bright orange stripes are just scrap yarn. The strip in between was machine-knit and then dye painted on. You unravel it and knit with the-now-self-striping yarn. When you intersperse it with the other yarns, it makes a beautifully patterned hat (well, two). Here are her kits with two swaths of machine-knitted yarn that you dye yourself and then unravel and knit together. Note that my kid makes 2 hats... and is already dyed! PENDING

Payment: Money order (email me at wearpurple at mac dot com for address) or PayPal to the same address. I'll mark your desired yarns "PENDING" until shipped. Enjoy!
