Destash!

destash

All of these yarns are currently available for sale. Details for each can be found on my Ravelry stash page under the "will trade/sell" header here. If you're interested, have any questions or just want to make me an offer, feel free to send me a Ravelry message or an e-mail! 

I keep almost all of my non-TFA stash yarn in 4 big under-the-bed bins that I store in our "random room". The "random-room" is where we put everything that doesn't have a real home in our house. Stuff like wrapping paper, gift boxes, stray buttons and sewing notions, stray furniture, Chris' chin-up bar... all things that you could find in the "random-room". Full disclosure, we don't actually call it the "random-room" we call it the "blue room" because when we moved in it was painted a bright blue. It has since been painted over a light cream, but it's still the blue room to me. However, I'm very quickly making the transition into calling it "the nursery", because in a few short months it will be baby's room. (squeal!)

This weekend I set myself the task of organizing. I started by taking down the Christmas decorations (so much less fun and more sad than putting them up!) and then I moved on to clearing out the random-room so we can get our bearings and turn that crazy space into a beautiful nursery for our little babe. As of right now the room is completely empty (don't ask me what the guest bedroom looks like... my organizing/cleaning system involved a lot of moving things from one spare room to the other.) I took the opportunity to go through my stash bins and gave everything a very critical once over. The above pictured yarns are all skeins that, though it pains me to part with them, I don't foresee myself using any day soon... funny how I'm not parting with many blue skeins...

There's some really good stuff up there, a bunch of Malabrigo, some Hedgehog Fibres, Dream in Colour. These yarns deserve a good home!

  1. What a gorgeous stash, almost too hard to part with I think although you do have a magnificent reason to have a sort out. Have fun decorating your baby room!

  2. So funny that you have a "blue room". . . When we first moved in, our spare room in the basement was painted a bright teal green with an even brighter teal sponge painting over the top. Not the subtle, blended sponge-painting -- more like someone had taken a rounded-edge kitchen sponge and just went glop - glop - glop all over. Each mark was distinct. The first time we cleaned the room up was for my parents' visit, and the minute they left, my husband pulled out the cream paint and covered it with several coats. Twelve years later, it is still the Green Room to all of us, even to my 10- and 12-year-olds who have no memory of those walls!
