I think I should have joined this community a long time ago. I just posted some stuff to swap in the [info]noyarnforayear community, but I thought I'd repost stuff here plus some more.


If anyone wants better photos or anything, please let me know.

Here's what I'd like to trade:

One entire skein of Lion Brand Lion Wool Prints in color #201 (Autumn Sunset). 100% wool, 143 yards, US 8 (5mm) needle. I paid $5.96 for the skein.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5260.jpg

TAKEN: Four skeins of Phildar Variations. 2 in "Fjord" and 2 in "Jade." 76% wool, 20% acrylic, 4% viscose(rayon). 49 yards, 50 g each skein. I don't know how much these cost because they were given to me, but on breiweb.nl, they're €3.30 ($4.32) each. All four are intact, never cut. The Jade ones have been knitted a bit, though. Also, I don't have the ball bands for Jade, but I do for Fjord. Gauge is about 12 sts x 17 rows (4") on 6-7mm (US 10) needles.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5261.jpg <-- Fjord
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5269.jpg <-- Jade

TAKEN: Three skeins Knitpicks Essential in Fawn, Grass, and Pumpkin. 50g; 231 yards; 7-8 sts / 1" on US 1-3 needles. 75% superwash wool, 25% nylon. It sells for $3.29 on knitpicks.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5262.jpg
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5273.jpg

TAKEN: Four skeins Filatura di Crosa Valentino. 50g; 109 yards; 20 sts x 25 rows (4") on 4.5-5.5mm needles (US 7-9). 68% wool, 32% cotton. I have no idea how much these should cost. (I got these in a swap.) It looks like the person paid $4 each for them (on sale). This yarn is discontinued.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5263.jpg

One skein of purple mystery mohair yarn. It's a thin, lightweight yarn, but not fingering weight. I don't know the yardage or who made it. It's definitely over 100 yards. Again, I don't know how much this cost or what it's rough price ought to be.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5264.jpg

One skein Lion Brand Jiffy in Mint. 100% acyrlic; 135 yards. 14.5 sts x 18 rows (4") on US 10 needles. This one is intact. I also have another skein in the same color that's been cut, but there's still a lot left. I also have 2 other skeins in Country Green. According to the LB website, the Mint color is now discontinued. I paid $1.86 for each skein.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5265.jpg

Two skeins Caron Bliss. 60% acyrlic 40% nylon; 82 yards. US 10 needles. 1 skein is black, the other is maroon.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5266.jpg

TAKEN: One full skein of Knitpicks Palette in Purple. 100% peruvian wool, 231 yards. US 1-3 needles. Their price is $1.99 each.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5267.jpg

Two skeins Patons Carmen in chocolate. 64% nylon, 36% polyester. 64 yards. US 10.5 needles. I got this in a swap, so I don't know how much. However, I'd pretty much be willing to just give it away.
http://www.electro-k.org/mar07/100_5268.jpg

Taken: Four skeins of a mystery handpainted yarn. It's 100% acrylic, 2ply. The lady I got it from (via a swap) said her father bought it in Peru. There are no ball bands, so I have no idea how many yards it is. She said it's probably about 400 yards. This is a light worsted/dk weight (US 5-7). Three are still in hanks, but I balled one into a center pull ball. No idea how much this yarn is worth.

-I also have a copy of The Knitter's Bible by Claire Crompton to swap. Someone gave this to me as a gift without realizing I already had a copy.

-Interweave Knits Fall 2005

TAKEN: -Noro Knits by Jane Ellison


What I'm interested in:
silk, alpaca, worsted & bulky yarns (at least enough to make a scarf), Lamb's Pride worsted & Bulky, handpainted yarns (like Manos del Uruguay and Malabrigo, but doesn't have to be those exactly), Noro Kureyon or Silk Garden, lopi or létt lopi, maybe a gift certificate to elann or handpaintedyarn.com. Even roving will do. I don't really have much specific in mind. I am not interested in yarn smaller than dk, unless it's something like 100% silk.
2 skeins of Lion Brand Cotton Ease in a little girl color.
And this is a long shot: 9 or 12" US 6 circular.


Ok, I think that's it. I hope I posted this correctly.

I'm interested in:

Four skeins of Phildar Variations.
Four skeins Filatura di Crosa Valentino.
Three skeins Knitpicks Essential in Fawn, Grass, and Pumpkin.

I have a post in the community before you that you can take a look at and see if there is anything there that you'd be willing to trade for some/all of the above. I put them in order of preference in case you don't want to swap for all of them. You can email me at annilita at gmail dot com if you would like to swap.

i have some pink cotton ease, teal and blueberry blue (i believe) as well as a nice minty/;eafy green. I stocked up when they discontinued it.
i am SUPER interested in the hand painted yarn, but am interested in how it can be handpainted and acrylic. are you sure it's acrylic?
I am also interested in the Filatura di Crosa Valentino.

let me know if you are interested in pictures or whatever.

Do you have 3 skeins of any of those colors? I just looked at the pattern I want to knit, and it needs 3 skeins, not 2. oops

I'm pretty sure it's acrylic. It may or may not be actually handpainted, but it definitely has the look of it.

i should have three skeins, did you do a burn test on it? it just really doesn't look acrylic from the picture.

I just did a burn test on it and it melted right up.
The picture doesn't really show the yarn's luster, which is why it probably doesn't look synthetic in the photo.

Ok, so if you have 3 skeins of the minty color cotton-ease, would you want to trade that for the Peruvian acrylic stuff?
And if you don't have 3 skeins of the minty color, I'd go for the pink. thanks

I'm interested in the Lion Brand Wool Print skein, but don't think I have anything on your list specifically. I just posted a list of yarn I have to trade, which can be found at this link:

http://community.livejournal.com/knitswap/305761.html#cutid1

I also have a US size 6 circular, but it's actually 16 inches, not 12.
