This morning I culled my stash of all yarn that I don’t have a use for,
don’t personally like anymore, can’t remember where or why I got it,
or generally want to dispose of for whatever reason.
I sent a big box to my daughter, but there is more left over!
Before I bring it to the PTA Thrift Shop,
here is your chance to get some really good, and really free, yarn.

The Free Yarn Deal Details
1. It fits in a big trashbag, and you have to take it all.
2. You have to be a knitter.
3. No asking why I’m doing this,
4. No helpful suggestions for avoiding future over-stashing!
Free to first responder. If no one wants it, it goes to the thrift shop.
Such a Deal!!
Many Happy Returns 
do you have a taker yet?? i would never pass up free yarn!
That’s amazing! I would love to have whatever Michelle doesn’t take. I’m a newly-obsessed sock knitter, and my stash is virtually nonexistent.
Michelle and Tracy,
Michelle, do you knit socks? If not, I’ll send Tracy the sock yarn. Or, since you both answered at about the same time, maybe I’ll just split it up somehow. I live near Chapel Hill, NC. If you’re nearby, where would you like to meet? If not, email me an address for mailing.
And, congratulations!
I do knit socks…but i’d be more than willing to let her have it! I see you frequently at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop…if you’re planning on going in someday soon, could I meet up with you there?
*waves* Me, me, me!
I’ll come get it! I’ll buy you lunch!
Congrats to Michelle and Tracy! If there is yarn in the stash neither of you think you will use, please let me know. I can meet you at the yarn shop.
I didn’t stop by your blog in 4 days and look what I miss. Ack!
