MASSIVE DeStash!

I've been talking about doing it forEVER but I finally went through ALL my yarn and reorganized. I have a HUGE Bin-O-Yarn that I'm letting go.

The link for my DeStash is here. All prices include Shipping and Handling (click on the pictures for yarn details and prices). I have much more to come but photographing all my stuff is becoming a second job!

I take Paypal and if you'd like the stuff I'm sellin', email me (Ruth AT 5elementknitr DOT com). I'll invoice you and when payment is made, I'll remove the pic's from the DeStash Flickr set and mail it off to you.

Please spread the word. Please - I want this stuff gone! Yes, there's fun fur but there's also lovely cottons and laceweight mohair blends and some rockin' Alpaca. There's even some beads and jewelry findings.

The fun fur would make great pet beds! haha!

Downsizing, Ruth!

Good Scents

I received this package in the mail about a week ago.

I opened the mail box and was greeted with the most wonderful scent!

These soaps are from Chicken Knits Etsy store. Go get some. Now. I'll wait....

OK. Tippa Tuesday...

Whenever I get lovely soaps like these and there's extra, I put a bar in one of my yarn bins. It makes the yarn smell delicious! You have to be careful, though, about the soap you put in there. Chicken Knits soaps are wrapped in a way that the oils in the soap aren't going to touch the yarn at all. Glycerin soaps, for example, would be a bad choice (ask me how I know). To test the soap, wrap it in a paper towel and let it sit for an hour (or a day). If the paper towel looks different in any way, don't put the soap next to your stash.


I've been talking about it for months. I'm de-stashing. Here's the first little bit.

These yarns are from the first 3 months of Yarn Pirate's Booty Club. I already sold the first month's installation. I really like Yarn Pirate's work, it's just that none of these colors did anything for me. It was a great lesson. I learned that I don't want to do Yarn Clubs anymore. I LOVE surprises. But if I'm the one spending the money, I'd rather pick my own colors. (That being said, if you're the one spending the money and is mailing me a surprise of yarn, I'm so excited and thankful, that I love the color no matter what it is!)

Anyway, here they are. I'm selling them for what I paid for them and the price includes shipping and handling...

Yarn Pirate Calamity BFL - $26

Yarn Pirate Butternut Merino Tencel 400 yds. - $26

Also, here's some Boye crochet hooks. There's size D, E, F, G, H, another H, I, and K. The whole lot for $5.

If you're interested in these items, email me at Ruth AT 5elementknitr DOT com.

More soon, Ruth!
