Oh my gosh! It’s like the best thrift shop ever! I had to remind myself not to be a hoarder.
Same here…seeing stuff reminded me that I also have some of the same stuff…why do I get excited over other people’s stuff when I have my own? No idea!
I am looking for embroidered linens, pieces of embroidered cloth, etc. They don’t need to be usable as linens or whole items - I am making a patchwork item.
Examples:
Offering:
-bag of various elastic. The white would be good for masks.

Not a craft item, but figured I’d put it out to the universe: A decent copy of Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter. Preferably one from before 1950.
@Magpie you’re the bomb! Thanks for wrangling this!
Has anyone posted in the destash along thread telling about this??
Great idea! I am gonna watch stupid TV with the man, please share wherever you think there might be interest
I am truly appalled at how much novelty yarn I have…does anyone want any for art use? I guess I bought whole skeins just to use a little bit…
Does anybody want some? I am only through one bin…see pic in my list
yes, she already contacted me! Thanks…I am sending her the picture shown
I just realized that most of us (not me…) are trying hard to reduce their stash.
So there will be a lot of offering, but not much taking, I think.
Feel free to take my offerings for your friend, sister, brother, mother, neighbor!
For anybody you know who is NOT trying to reduce their stash, LOL.
@audity, I have eyelash yarn that I don’t use. I’ll be in touch.
This is a lovely heartwarming thread
@audity (and whoever else is interested): I added eyelash yarn to my list (multiple sets)!
I also added three sheets of - be warned - naughty (!) Dutch folklore stickers. LOL
I can’t find your offerings. You’re not in the main list. Hyphenated. I will keep looking…
Found you! lol
I’m mostly trying to replace what I don’t use/need with things I will that way they will get used up. So many great items here.
I have had zero self control & requested many items, lol. I’ve made myself a promise that I’ll use it asap to justify the collecting. You’ll see…
If I am asking for anything, it is because I need to finish some projects or want to do a project and don’t want to get more stuff…so I appreciate that people are willing to send stuff through happy mail or small packets…
and, conversely, if I can help, that is great!
I wrapped several cards of yarn samples last night and even though it did not make a huge dent, it did make me organize and realize that I can continue to do this and offer them for a while! I even found some yarn that I needed for a project…so this thread is quite helpful!
Does anybody have white eyelash or other fuzzy/fluffy yarn? I wanted some to crochet Old Man Cactus but could never find any.
yes…
