The afore mentioned yarn sell-off post

Prices are roughly 25% off what I paid for them if the stickers are still on them, or if I can remember what I paid. Otherwise, they are 25% off the MSRP from yarndex.com. Prices rounded to the nearest 25 cents to make it easy.

Email me what you'd like to annilita at gmail dot com and include your zip code. Buyer pays for shipping + delivery confirmation. I won't add anything for packaging or whatever. I don’t mind shipping overseas.

Buyer pays for any paypal fees if necessary. In addition to Paypal, I will accept gift cards to Ikea, Target, or Home Depot.

Disclaimers: We are a smoke-free/pet-free home, however some of the yarn is from swaps with homes that did have cats and it’s all been stored together, so if you are super sensitive, you may want to avoid this swap. Also, remember monitor colors can alter the true color of the yarn, so it may not be precisely the shade you expect when it arrives. When the color is dramatically off, I try to offer comparisons to help you visualize the real color.

SWTC Optimum - $9.75 per skein. 10 balls silver, 5 balls pink, 7 balls purple available
100% wool. DK weight 2-ply. This is, without a doubt, the softest wool yarn you will ever touch. I have some cashmere in my stash, and this yarn is actually softer than my $50 a hank cashmere. 154 yards per hank. I use these for heirloom-type baby gifts and there is always a lot of ooh-ing and aah-ing about how soft it is. I think the silver and pink work especially well together for fair-isle patterns.

are you actually the person who created the Alpaca Country Fina? I purchased it elsewhere, noting the Russian label, but didn't know the origin.
