Cleaning out the stash

I am a fiber junky.  I have a stash and I talk fiber with my spinning and knitting buddies.  We talk WPI (wraps per inch) and TPI (twists per inch).  We talk dye pots and needle size, yarn overs and PSSO.  The problem with being a junkie, is that most of us are collectors as well and things pile up.

A while back I went through a cathartic phase and hoed out the closet and dragged my fiber friend Barb over here with her mini van.  I de-stashed and she, good friend that she is, collected a hole host of stuff and carted it off to her fiber studio.

Now she is doing the same and gave me a call to come pick up my stash.  Filled the back of the truck. I have gone though the books and will keep some, some will go the 4th of July Library Sale tomorrow.  Along with an Ashford tradional spinning wheel, a lazy kate, a knitty knotty and  two dress dummies. The local library needs money for an expansion project. Worthy cause.

I have listed my Wild Fibers Magazine collection on Ebay and will try to entice you all to check out the new page on the blog called  Cleaning Out the Stash (it is in the header bar at the top of this page in case you are looking.)

After backing into Bub’s truck last week and completely totaling the back of my car, (thank goodness for an insurance deducable of  500.00 becasue the damage billed out at 2775.00 Ouch! )we are a tad tight for the trip to Ohio now and Bubby, being the worrier that he is, had decided not to join me.  So basiacally, if I can sell the totes and the magazines, a bit of wool and maybe some stash stuff,  I can get Bub his ticket.   Hope you all will help and forgive the shameless direct marketing.

Update: ebay items have been sold!
