You scratch my back...
Ok, kids, lots and lots to show and tell about our trip, because of course there was yarny goodness purchased in New Mexico and Colorado.
STASH SALE STASH SALE STASH SALE STASH SALE
SO! To make room for the new yarn, I have to sell some stash yarn. I've been meaning to for awhile now, but NOW I have the perfect opportunity.
I have three yarn packs for you, with patterns, as shown below. And HERE'S THE GOOD PART. You should buy this stuff, not only cause it's great stuff, but because I will give all proceeds, $200 all together, to Cara's fund-raiser with Heifer International! Cara, I promise, will vouch that I gave this money. So, you get yarn, and help out a needy family! What could be better?
I CAN'T STAND IT! Let's DO IT!
Make with the yarn, lady.
Update - all yarn has been bought and is no longer available. Thanks to all the buyers!
3) Philosopher's Wool!
Lastly, I have about a zillion skeins of Philosopher's Wool, bought to make their Kilim Jacket. So fun. I just won't ever get it done, there's no way. And after many debates with myself I have decided to part with it.
This is one of their color-as-you-go type patterns, so you put the colors how you want them. There is plenty of yarn for this kit. I have 4 skeins of black, and then 14 skeins of various colors to use (the purple is one skein wound into two balls). In addition, I'll give you my copy of their book, Fair Isle Sweaters Simplified which is in excellent condition.
All this would be about $180. I will sell it for $110, to round up my donation to Heifer International to an even $200! I will ask buyer to pay shipping, as this is a lot of yarn and the book is a bit heavy...
Final Thoughts
All yarn is first-come, first-serve, and stored in plastic out of light in a non-smoking home. If you live internationally, I'll give a $4 shipping discount on either of the first two yarn packs.
Interested?! Email me at jenny@highenergyknits.net. Let's give some sheep to some needy family. Or a goat, or bees. Let's do it!
Click on the extended entry to see what yarn has sold...
1) Ingeborg.
This yarn offer has been taken and is no longer available.
I have the yarn needed to make the popular Dale of Norway pattern, Ingeborg. The colors I have are black (0090), dove grey (5621), and woodberry (4154). I DO NOT have a skein to do the lace bits, you'd have to get one skein for that.
This is 14 unused skeins total of Dale of Norway "Daletta" enough to make the medium (41 3/4" chest) size. AND you get one each just partly used of each color, so a total of 17 skeins.
Retail for the whole kit (which includes buttons, which I DON'T have) is $94. I'll give you the 17 skeins and a free copy of the pattern, AND free U.S. shipping, for $50! What a deal!
2) Phildar Frénésie.
This yarn offer is no longer available.
OOH! Fancy French yarn, as someone would say. I bought this very pretty yarn to make the pictured sweater, but there's no way I'll ever get to it with my current stash.
So. 16 skeins of Phildar Frénésie, enough to make the medium or 42/44 size, free U.S. shipping, and a copy of the pattern (in English! English!). Retail would be about $70, I give it to you for $40!!!!
Take a look!

So glad you're back in town! And I love drooling over the yarn, available and gone. Hope to be able to do fair isle someday. In the meantime, somebody is lucky to enjoy your finds. Love the Heifer dontation idea--an amazing group.

Just curious, because I couldn't figure it out, which colorway is the kilim jacket in?
