I'm thinking a VERY informal swap - like each of us can contact one another and work out our own details. I have mostly chenille, eyelash/fun fur, Lion brand homespun, and some ladder. Please email me at
[email protected] if you're interested, and maybe we'll all be posting lovely new fiber creations within a week!
