Re: Help! Important & time-sensitive wool YARN question! *PICS ADDED p13!*
Well, just think about how many hours it would take to knit that thing. Those gorgeous designs in it...good golly. I don't knit so I don't have an estimate on how long it would take, but it's a heck of a lot more than your time would be worth, and like Lindsay said the yarn would be worth at least $35.
What a steal.

Re: Help! Important & time-sensitive wool YARN question! *PICS ADDED p13!*
Sorry, I'm just too excited not to share.
 (It's Ok to brag about blessings, right?   )  these are just SOME of the things I aired out today. I already have plans for lots of them for Christmas gifts, some to be donated, some for friends.  (the hats, socks, mittens and scarves dnn't even take up a full bin.  )clickable thumbnails. Pic overload....

And that was only like, three bins total. It's amazing how much stuff these bins hold!Ski masks...thick wool ski masks. People buy these?  They are strange looking. They seem like they'd make your whole head a hot, sweaty mess. Maybe they could be transformed into diaper covers? I wish I had a pic, but they are in a really stinky bin.

balaclavas? popular amongst teens (or they used to be) and bank robbers
I'm just - wow, I wonder what she was knitting all these "for"? It really really is an awesome amazing gift. (and I am definitely jealous!!)

. That is a HUGE haul! Those ski masks I'm sure would be appreciated by someone way north of you, like Canada or Alaska.

Re: Help! Important & time-sensitive wool YARN question! *TONS OF PICS ADDED p33*
Today i am airing out all the 100% wool yarn and a few random pieces.
I only have 5 or 6 bins left,  all full of sweaters. here are pics from today. I didn't take close-ups of everything, but you can click the thumbnails and see the big pics. I need to figure out what this stuff is worth and make up swap packages, put some away for gifts, mail out the rest I have to mail, and put the last of it in clean bins, to get it out of the way.  If I were to divide things into $20 "packages" what do you think would constitute a package? A hat or ski mask, and a pair of mittens? A few pairs of socks? How many skeins/balls/twisty things of yarn? a baby outfit?
