The Unofficial Get Stitchy hand-dyed yarn swap!

Introducing Our Hand-Dyed Yarn Swap!

Here's a few rules for this one:
  1. Yarn must be hand-dyed by your for your swap pal.
  2. Pals can be secret, or if you would like you can reveal yourself. It's up to you.
  3. There are standards for the type of yarn you dye. If you aren't sure, ask.
  4. If you would like to send other things to your swap pal, you may. It's not required though, only the yarn that you dye is.
  5. If for any reason you can't fulfill your obligation, please let us know so that your pal will not be left out.
  6. Sign ups will be open until July 22. (NOTE: I'm now extending the deadline for sign ups until the end of July!)
Standards:
  • Lace yarn should be around 600 yards
  • Fingering or sock should be about 400
  • Worsted at least 200 yards
  • Bulky, at least 100 yards
ETA July 30th: I had a question about dye requirements. You can use whatever method you like to dye the yarn. Some of us are trying the acid dyes, and some are sticking to the kool-aid or Wiltons because that's what works for them. Whatever method you choose, it's up to you!
