Destash-a-thon
Nov 9th, 2007 by karen
I’m taking a long hard look at the yarn stash that I’ve accumulated over the years and I’ve come to terms with the fact that I just have to let some of it go. There is no way that I am going to be able to use it all so I need to find good homes for it all.
If you are interested in any of the yarn please email me at karen(@)frogknits(dot)com.
I’ll be editing this page regularly so please check it out and see if there are any skeins that you want to welcome into your stash.
All prices include shipping and I accept payment via paypal. I will also accept a check if you’re willing to wait for delivery after your check clears. If you’re in Silicon Valley, I can do meet-ups, delivery, or pick-ups at my home and accept cash or check.
Here’s what I have to offer:

Gauge: 14st/4″
Yards/Skein: 55 yds

[...] More yarn here. [...]
I’ll take the La Luz if it is still available. Depending on where you live, I might be able to meet you. Would that knock a couple of bucks off the price? Thanks!
I’d be happy to take the Lorna’s Laces sock yarn off your hands! Whereabouts in the bay area are you located?
I’ll take the Artful Fable in Cinderella and the Rowan Summer Tweed in Chocolate if it’s still available and you ship to Canada.
If your Kidsilk Haze in color 606 is dyelot 148, I will happily take it!!
Sadly, I need that specific dyelot…
I am interested in the following – these are my questions
If your pending sales on the Softwist bulky and Summer tweed do not go through – would you let me know
If the two Hopyard lots were combined would there be enough for a women’s sweater
Same question for the Noro Lotus – do not currently have any patterns to help me figure this out
Same question for the Pleasure
And finally – would you consider an offer for the ArtfulYarn Fable – both lots?
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions
I’m making an entrelac capelet from some Pleasure I have. If this were the right color I’d buy it to lengthen mine into a sweater. I’m combining it with some Moonlight Mohair. I am interested in the Shinano. I love this yarn and made a Round Trip jacket from 10 skeins. I’m making hat from the leftovers and ran out. Two skeins would be enough for gloves and to finish the hat.
Oooh, I would love to take that Lang Jawoll Jacquard off your hands…
Your umbrella swift is beautiful. Would you consider $75? I am in dire need of one!!
I’d be interested in the Blue Heron chenille (Garnet) if the ball pictured is actually a full skein. Is it still available?
Hi, did you ever destash your Noro Lotus? Please PM me
Do you still have the Morea? I’m flying to the Bay Area Tuesday, June 10 – 14 and would like to pick it up – meet you somewhere? Please let me know.
I would like to buy the Swallow Hill beaded purse patterns if you still have them.
Thanks
Is the Noro Lotus yarn still available? I am interested. Thank you.
Hi, I would love the Noro Ganpi tape yarn, but I would have to wait until Jan 25th to purchase. Please email me if it is still available at that time.
Thanks so much,
Wynnette
Do you still have the Noro Lotus? If so, an you tell me the color name or number? Thanks. Pat
Do you still have the 3 skeins of Berroco Crystal FX Yarn in Gemadine
Thanks!
It seems to me it is very good idea. Completely with you I will agree.
In my opinion you are not right. I am assured. I can defend the position.
This day, as if on purpose
It to you a science.
I confirm. It was and with me. Let’s discuss this question.
