I’m really trying to be strong and not buy so much yarn until my stash has been considerably reduced. In the interest of full disclosure, I did just buy ten more balls of Jaeger Extra Fine Merino Chunky in Midnight from Cumberpatch, but that’s only because I realized the ten balls I had in my stash wouldn’t make the project I had planned for it.
I don’t really think of myself as a crazy consumer fiend or spendaholic. I don’t buy clothing very often, I never go out drinking, I don’t even buy books and I have an English degree. Even when it comes to yarn, for the first three years I knit I didn’t have much of a stash at all. I just didn’t get the concept of buying huge amounts of yarn you couldn’t possibly use in the near future. That all changed last summer when I wasn’t working and I had just paid off my poor abused Visa. All of a sudden I was feeling an unhealthy desire to scan E-bay for Fleece Artist or to go in with my accomplices on a Socks that Rock order.
Short story long, in general I’m trying to be better with money and less materialistic and more appreciative of what I have so I’ve been slowly adding yarns to my ‘will trade or sell’ file on Ravelry but I thought I’d give them a little more exposure here, especially since I’ve experienced an unexplained hike in hits very recently. For your viewing pleasure:
Jaeger Extra Fine Merino DK in Coral sold
Ten skeins. $25 plus shipping.
Rowan Pure Wool DK in Snow
Two skeins. $7 plus shipping.
Rowan Harris (same as Scottish) Tweed in Port sold
One skein. $11 (I paid twenty) plus shipping.
Elann Peruvian Highland Wool in Bisque
One skein (hardly worth mentioning but maybe someone’s running out or something) $1 plus shipping.
This not a monster destash other’s have had but nevertheless it’s yarn I don’t need so let me know if you want any. Paypal is preferred.

Hey I’d like that Jaeger extra fine merino. Is it really as super soft and squishy as it looks?

It is very soft and squishy. I haven’t used it yet but I have no problems with the feel. I just have nothing in mind for it. E-mail me your address and I’ll figure out the shipping cost.
