G'day all! Straight up, if you are not into fleece and spinning, this is a dull post. Go play somewhere else, cos it is also picture heavy. I have a *heap* of stuff I want to destash before going back to Australia. Most of this came with me to the USA. Not all. Some of it I can take back with me (but why? I can get more there :-) but I thought it would be nice to share around. Well with a little greenback action to grease the wheels of destashing... Most of the undyed fleece has been flicked and is basically ready to spin. Some hasn't. Scroll down, gentle reader, and see what lusciousness tempts you! Or what luridness, cos I have some of that too. LOL Note that I can't send unprocessed fleece overseas (ie out of the USA). Processed top is fine. I take greenbacks (from locals) and Paypal (at natielthreeoneoneatgmaildotcom). If I have to post the items, I will have to charge postage as well. Oh and colours will vary from monitor to monitor. Oh and it has all b...

G'day all! Spent a busy day getting more organised here. I have to work out what I want to keep and what is going by Friday. (Hope the various shipping companies are open on Friday - a lot of people have four days off over Thanksgiving and American Thanksgiving is tomorrow!). I got rid of a heap of stuff today - various items of clothing that I know I won't wear again and stuff I had stashed from the op shops for my fabric projects, a box of jigsaws, scraps of material - some went to the op shop (clothing and jigsaws) and some went to the recycle bin (material scraps - don't say I should keep them! I have enough *good* material to keep!). I bought some space bags and vacuumed down my winter clothes (leaving out a few items suitable for a Californian autumn) and some yarn and various clothes I want to keep but can't put in the suitcase. I now have a 3/4 empty closet and two spare plastic tubs. Next I need to reduce the fleece stash. I haven't gotten pics of the...

G'day all! Hooray! DH fixed my laptop! It turns out the fan was not working after the laptop had been sleeping. It is a known bug that affects both linux and windoze boxes - they both use the same driver. Anyway, I now have a CPU temperature monitor and a fan that whizzes up and down as needed. Yay! So now I can torture you with pics of the yarn and tops I've got in some boxes. Yep, you thought you would see what I've been knitting but nope! You get my hand-dyed stuff instead. A sale All of this is for sale. I take paypal and (from Aussies) direct deposit. All prices do not include postage and are in Aussie dollars. Note colours may vary due to difference between monitors.

(note for Tanja W - your email is bouncing and I can't contact you. Of course this might mean you can't get online too!) G'day again all! I have to get rid of some more yarn. I am not sure why I have all of it, just cos it is a collection and MINE! But now I am starting to wonder why? Why keep it all? Does anyone want some yarn at low, low prices? I have various amounts of Bendigo cotton (half price), mostly 8 ply, a range of colours in mohair (not the old 1970s stuff, more modern stuff that doesn't prickle unless you are a sensitive type like me (ohhh)) and random balls of wool. Admittedly most of the yarn colours tend to be in the blues, pinks, purples, greens and pastels (ie colours that a blue-eyed blonde would tend to wear) but there are some others too (particularly black, which I despise knitting with but is great for colour work and as a background). Most of the stuff has between 1-3 balls and is good for little projects or colour work. If you mix and ma...

G'day all! Time for a stash clearance. I bought a heap of novelty yarns when they were, well, novel. I bought them to make scarves and wraps out of. They'd also be great for afghans or throws. Then of course there is charity knitting - chemo caps, scarves, mittens. So much could be done with this yarn, but I just don't have the time to do it. And I really don't want to put it into storage or take it to the US. Click on the pic or the link to look at my new stash clearance page. I'll also be listing some cottons, mohair and wool yarns once I get pics of them. Most of them will be mixed batches that would make striped tops. Plus I have some handspun that I will put up on my handspun page. And I have some more sock yarn, in the purple and blue colours featured on this old blog page . anon!
