I might be interested if things pick up!
I can spin and knit.

[whyme81687]

I'm definitely interested. I'll send in my info soon

[LizzieMcGuire]

Do you knit/crochet with your own yarn or do you send two skeins and get back a finished item made out of one of your skeins?
That was the original idea wasn't it?

[MissColee]

rats.. i wish i could spin

[Annchen]

It might be a good idea to link to some dying tutorials... I'm sure there are more novices than me who might be interested in this. I'm a knitter, but I've only dyed finished items.

[matikin9]

Here's a few tutorials/blogs/etc. I found:

Knitty's Kool-aid dyeing tutorial
How a college student dyes yarn
Self-striping yarn
Eunny's self-striping yarn
Dyeing with natural dyes

[Annchen]

Oooh! Thanks I think I'll have to try to talk my sister into joining this swap too, we've been talking about trying to dye with vegetables or plants.

[spolowitz]

is this like the homespun/handcrafted swap where a spinner is paired up with a knitter/crocheter or do you have to know how to spin to join?
