After weeks of packing and moving boxes, we are officially settled into our new (much smaller) home. Thank the Gods/Goddesses/Fairies/Sheep ‘cuz I just don’t think I could’ve handled one more box of under-used clutter. We had a huge yard sale, made some dough and donated a ton of stuff to Goodwill. And now I’m working on selling stuff. First on the list — yarn. Gasp! I know, I know … it’s evil. I’ll pay for this. I’ll dream about this yarn in the wee hours of the night in July 2007 with the perfect project in mind and wish that I wasn’t so impulsive back in July 2005. But alas, there is only so much stash space, especially considering that I share my home with another crafty lady and her crafty toys, a small child and his small child toys, and two kitties and their feline toys. We have plenty of toys. So I’ll be selling this batch of yarn:

If you’ve been hanging out with me for a while, you might remember this is wool from my recycled sweater. The sweater was an enormous men’s sweater, so we’re talking a hell of a lot of wool. Further, the drape was wonderful, surprisingly supple. Wait … am I talking myself into keeping it? Although the yarn looks like a brownish-green from a distance, it was spun with many different colors. Here’s a closeup. It’s just so beautiful.

The yarn knits up at about a worsted weight (4 sts/”) on US7s.

If you’re interested in purchasing this yarn, give me a holler. I still have to total the yards, but we’re talking somewhere around 1200 yards of 100% Irish wool.
I’m planning on putting it up on eBay within a couple days, but I have no idea how to price it. Any suggestions? Knitting gurus, are you out there?

P.S. I have lots to report, with pictures and all. Keep an eye out for updates (in spite of Bloglines being a bit fussy this week).
