Details of swap:
Like before, participants will be matched up based on their preferences (fiber to spin/ recieve, skill level, and any other additional requests). There is no maximum or minimum amount of yarn to send (size of skein, # of skeins), but it will be agreed upon by partners beforehand. Yarn must be spun by the participant, preferably after seeing partner's questionnaire. Craftsters who have participated in 2 swaps previously may request 2 partners. ALL SKEINS MUST BE READY FOR USE WHEN SENT! Please set the twist, label the fiber content and amount, etc.

Also, as an experiment with this swap, participants will be expected to craft one small to medium sized item for their partner. (2 - 4 hours) Some ideas include herbal sachets for their stashes, a wrist distaff, home-made soap, wrist warmers, etc. C'mon, it'll be fun Grin

Please maintain contact with your partner throughout the swap! Participants are required to mention whether or not they have access to a digital camera, as posting in the gallery is important for feedback and partner appreciation Wink
