Description:

I love knitting with cotton yarn. I can never have enough. For this swap, let's send our partner two skiens of 100% cotton yarn. I make a lot of dishcloths and love to have all kinds of different colors.

You need to have a rating of at least 4.8. Newbies are welcome to join, but...you must have a filled out profile to help us learn some things about you. Not just a line or two, give us some info. What crafts you like, favorite colors, what you don't like...etc.

So, two skeins of cotton yarn to one partner. Easy!!

Have fun....

are we swapping 100g balls? I have just discovered dishcloth knitting too!! I have white and various shades of blue but would love greens or pinks x

The skeins I have are 70.9 grams. I use the Sugar and Cream brand and the is the size of mine. : )

I love variegated yarn and dye a lot myself but mine is rather thinner than ordinary cottonyarn I think. Would it be ok to send this anyway? When I make dishcloths I take one thread of the dyed yarn and one of an unbleached thin cotton yarn.

Our storebought cotton yarn always comes in 50 g cottonballs so I´d also like to know the size of the skein please.

Thanks!

Kicki, I think the yarn you use sounds great!! It seems that the cotton yarn comes in different gram sizes. The ones I get are 70.9. The 50 gram ones sound fine to me. Whatever is available in your area. : )

Did I understand ok -2 colors of yarn in 50 gr?

Kicki 03/ 8/2009 #

Count me in then :)

Whatever size of cotton yarn is available in your area will be fine to use. The ones I get are 70.9 grams. They can be the same color or different, whatever you think your partner would like. : )

I am so glad to find this swap! My mom has recently begun crocheting and she loves it - so this swap is for her. I'm going to keep it secret and when the package arrives SURPRISE!!!

She'll love it!
