Therefore, we have launched a big Handspun Yarn Swap we named: SPIN ME A TREASURE!

You will find the Information and Golden rules HERE.

Please join us! The more the merrier!

I think this sounds great. Have never done a swap before so nothing ventured nothing gained! Has anyone else done anything like this?

Hi everyone,
If any of you want to take part in this but are worried about the French language, I can help. In fact I'm taking part!
Hope you join in and have fun too!

Hi Judy, I have filled in the questionnaire and sent it off to join in with this but as yet haven't heard anything back - have you yet?

Yes Flore sent me a confirmation email the next day. I also checked that my name was on the list at Tricotin.com

Link to names of participants and info in English and French here:

There is a Cathy from the UK at number 14, that may be you ???

Give Flore an email, I'm sure she will respond.

Sign up is still open until the end of the month, so I have been busy sending email to anyone I thought was interested. Smile

I keep dreaming of what someone may want, so I've acquired a little extra undyed fibre - just in case...
Superfine alpaca, silk tops, kid mohair, curls, camel down....ok, ok it's just an excuse to expand the huge stash pile Smile

There is another challenge on that may interest you, the Twisted Kintters, spin dye knitalong, open to signup until January and looks fun. Check it out here:

If you look around the site, there are posts from the different members. All looks fun!

Do you want me to email Flore for you?

It looks great but I can't knit and I think with the spin me a treasure you don't have to knit it up - I must check that by the way. Thanks for the offer to get in touch, I might try myself first and then if I don't hear anything can I take you up on it?

It's all very exciting, I can't wait to get started! I might have to go out and take your example of collecting more fibre - purely for research purposes of course!
