Description:

This is for swappers with a 4.5 rating or higher.

We all have it in our stash - the stuff we love, the stuff we don't love anymore and the stuff we got in a yarn club/swap that's just not our color.

No special requests on this one (allergies are the exception).

The Good - Your favorite yarn - LYS quality only (online favorites are OK, too), nothing from the big box stores. And no "I don't have good yarn selection near me" excuses - this is the internet, people!

The Bad - This is a free-for-all caetgory. Michael's, JoAnn's, acrylic from the 70's, whatever.

The Ugly - LYS quality again, but something you just didn't care for colorwise.

All total, this should be a MINIMUM $25 worth of yarn. And the bulk of that cost should be the LYS quality stuff. This is not a dumping ground for crap yarn - let's make these packages fun and a great experience for all!

Extra goodies are always nice but not mandatory.

This will be an International swap.

Enjoy!

what does LYS stand for?

@Jox LYS stands for Local Yarn Store - those delicate places that have the lovelies like 100% pure wool, masses of sock yarns, alpaca, bamboo and other beauties rather than the big stores that sell the more acrylic and synthetic based yarns (although some do have the odd bargain). If you don't have a LYS near you, try www.etsy.com - there are loads of spinners and dyers on there
