Stash Sale!!!
The Rules:
All prices listed are in US dollars. Prices are non-negotiable. All sales are final. Shipping is included. U.S. and Canada only, please. I adore all of you overseas, but the shipping costs are just too high and I don’t have the time to schlep to the post office to weigh and price out shipping for each quantity of yarn, so… Yeah. There you go. (Unfair, maybe, but please recall this destashing is intended to SIMPLIFY my life.)
Each item will be sold to the first person who emails for it. You will have 48 hours to pay for it, via Paypal. After 48 hours, it goes to the next person on the list (should there be more than one interested buyer) or goes back up for sale on the blog.
Email me at cari [dot] luna [at] earthlink [dot] net to commit to buy. Please do not make any arrangements to pay me via Paypal until I send you an email, confirming that you are the successful buyer. As always, feel free to leave a comment, but please note that yarn orders will not be taken from the comments. You must make your request via email, so I can be sure to keep things fair. (The timestamp on my comments and how quickly I receive email notification is somewhat unreliable.)
These items come from a smoke-free home, though not pet-free. (But you know this, yes?) I can honestly say that the dogs have never, at any point, stolen any of this yarn. If you prefer yarn that HAS been stolen by the dogs, well…maybe we can work something out. For the most part, the yarn is absolutely unused. If any yarn has been knit, frogged, and rewound, I’ve indicated that in the post.
And in case you’re curious, proceeds of the sale will go toward the cost of our labor doula.
Enough with the rule-making. On to the stuff for sale!

Yay yarnsale! And good call on the ‘no overseas business’, though the Brilla seems like something I could have scared my boys with. “I’m going to knit you a pinkish red shiny vest! Hehehe!” 🙂

Wow, that stuff sold fast! Glad to see it went to a doula–they’re great.
Posted by: Steph

Well, you should have some room now. 🙂 A doula, that’s great! I had two home births, but never a doula. I could use a doula NOW, actually.

Very impressive work here. Inspirational, as well: after seeing your fabulous clean-up job, I tackled mine.
Thanks.

as you know….the yarn ain’t for me. but…we should have a discussion about doulas. lovely, but certainly not necessary.
Posted by: rebecca
I had a mid-wife at my first birth and a doula at my second, and in my experience the doula was the more helpful person.
In Canada, while medical expenses are paid by the government, hospitals tend to be short staffed when it comes to nurses. Having a person there, through the whole thing, whose only job was knowing me and helping me was wonderful and reassuring.

good job, cari! it looks like a few odd balls of cotton, which if you never sell, could always be used for a baby project odd or end.
Posted by: kaarin
It’s nuts that I have been away from bloglines most of the day and I come here and you’ve sold everything!
Posted by: Scout
Wow, that is all so tempting!!! Wish I could snatch up that Noro, but we have to give our own doula her down payment this weekend. :-)I’d be in big trouble if I spent the money on more yarn….I wouldn’t go in the delivery room without her! Glad you’re getting a doula too; they’re the best.

Darn. Got here too late!

What is the sound that yarn vultures make?
Posted by: claudia
Holy smokes! Have you ever thought of opening up a yarn store? All for a great cause, your sale. Great move having a doula. I didn’t have one, but I did have many good people around me in support. Hell, the birth of our boys were practically full-blown parties. 7, including me at the first one and 10, including me, at the second.
If finally put up that post you might like to check out today.
