Yarn Junkies 5 - PINK

I will be away during this swap, but my hubby will mail off my parnters goodies! If my partner is curious as to my likes/dislikes, I like soft pinks & hot pinks, I love cotton fleece, cascade sierra, cascade tencel, lorna's laces ... cotton/wool blends as they can be worn all year. I like cotton ease, TLC cotton plus ... lol.

Dear swap-partner, I will just let you know that my favorit pink is soft pink and I would love to receive lace-yarn. Here in Denmark we usually have to import lace-yarn from the US. ;o) I am looking foreward to this swap too. :o)

I LOVE ALL shades of pink and weights (except lace). =]

When it comes to pink, I happen to love all shades. But please, no socks yarn - I have TOOOOO much sock yarn right now! LOL

I am excited about this swap! I love wool, silk, and I would prefer not to receive cotton or mohair or synthetics, please. I don't like novelty yarn.

sock yarn would be great! as I have been going through a sock knitting phase, but it doesn't have to be sock yarn. :)

As for color, I like all pinks!

I'm not a huge fan of pink, but there's a place for everything -- right? I'd love something interesting -- and that could include multi-colored yarns with pink as one of the colors (although solid pink is fine too). I like natural fibers. No novelty yarns, nothing lighter than DK (I'm not into socks or lace weight). Thanks!

Sock yarn will be fine here too, all shades + cotton for cloths.

What is novelty yarn?

Winemakersister, you mention DK, what is it?

Hi articgirl64,

I think of novelty yarns as things like eyelash yarn -- usually acrylic, always gimmicky. It's hard to generalize, because I actually love some yarns that are considered "novelty" yarns -- like wool boucle, good self-striping yarns, or some really cool handspun thick-n-thin yarn with bits of other colors and fibers spun into it. I generalized, but it's actually the cheap, nasty novelty yarns I don't like.

DK (stands for double knitting) is a specific weight -- similar to Sport weight. It's usually about 5.5 to 6 stitches per inch and, generally (again), is pretty much the lightest I like working with.

I love sock yarn!!!

Hi, I loved the green yarn swap, can't wait to get this package and choose for my partner! In case you are choosing for me, I love baby pinks, soft pinks, and some hot pinks nothing salmony though or too garish! I have just started knitting socks, but I also crochet, so anything will come in handy! I don't really like novelty stuff (like bobbly, boucle or fluffy stuff) or eyelash yarn!

anything is fine with me! I am not real fond of eyelash, etc. Also no cheap acrylic but any weight is ok since I have learned how to knit socks and scarves.

Pink yarn sent to FibreJunky today. Please post when received. Thanks

Thank you Ghostknitter for the amazing pink silk yarn and for the extra white crochet thread, earrings, stitch markers and tea. You are such a thoughful swapper!. My son just got back from Japan also. He spent a year in Sapporo at the university there. Small world isn't it?
