I have just listed a few discontinued yarns, like Patons Merino Extrafine 4ply and Aran, 2 packs with patterns for a sweet baby/toddler cardigan which includes the discontinued Stylecraft Eskimo. Some other King Cole, Patons and Stylecraft, as well as some Hobbii and Knit Pick and a shedload of Drops yarn.
In the coming weeks I will add even more. For now I have decided to keep just certain yarns, like most of the sock yarn, all of the Lang Yarn (not sure about the yarn I had planned for baby items), some other yarn and for definite the Hayfield Aran will stay.
I hope by the time I have finished my yarn stash will have halved.
So please have a nose around and help me recover some of the money, so I can invest in other hobbies.
Maybe I have to clarify why I am so drastically selling my stash. After knitting like there is no tomorrow, I severely damaged my thumb joints and I am suffering from the dreaded knitter's thumb. It had become so painful that I couldn't cast on anymore.
A few months ago I finally went to see my GP. Because I just had been vaccinated I had to wait a few weeks. So, a few weeks ago I received injections into the thumb joints. And my GP begged me to stop knitting, for at least a year. I didn't knit for a few months before I went and it didn't make a difference. I used about every cream there is and nothing would help against the inflammation.
Thankfully, the injections seem to work but I still have to be careful not to aggravate it with a strange twist.
So since then I have been beading, mainly bracelets, I started cross stitch again, I bought some nice fabric I will make into lovely things, I still enjoy diamond paintings a lot and I fill my colouring books with wonderful colours.
One day, I might knit again and that's why I want to keep at least some yarn and all the tools.
