Well, since this forum is partially entitled 'Swap it', I want to propose a swap. I'm looking for some metallic threads, to spin into some homespun yarn I want to make. Realistically, though, surfing ebay means ridiculously expensive shipping, and I don't trust 'em! So, if anyone has a stash, no matter how large or small, I can swap with you. I've a few homemade candles that (if I say so myself) look really nice, as well as piles of incense, + some crafty knitty/crochet things I've made, if it's a larger swap. Please pm me.
I wish I could spin some gold for you but alas I can not! (Don't Tell Rumplestilskin!!) Have you check on etsy.com?
I actually found a good deal on ebay, a set of 20 colourful spools, and a great seller who was very honest with shipping, so it's a good score. Thanks
