me!!! i am definitely interested!
OH MY. 
i seriously think i could do ALL of my christmas shopping on that one site. how long will you be cooping with them?
the coop runner hasn’t posted a closing date, but is trying to get 400 skeins ordered…
let me IM her…
I’ve been eyeing their wool recently…I’ve spied a perfect colorway for a Clapotis…
In other words, I’m interested
Sounds interesting! I like those prices 
I think I would like to order some…So how does it work? We give your our orders and pay you for the merchandise?
ok, so the closing date is aimed for early to mid september. they dye to order, so it may be a week or two from the date that it gets shipped. I’ll have everything shipped to me and then i’ll send on to you for actualy postage.
yeah, just tell me which yarn/color and how many…hmm. i’m going to set up a little blog to keep track of this so you can all add orders too (like a KAL!) and i’ll add the total order to my coop…
I’m making a list now…:flirt:
here is the blog!
Ok, to add you so you can place an order, i need you to PM you email address so i can invite you to be an author on the blog.
I PMd you! Thanks!
i am so glad you guys are interested I sent out 3 blog author invites
just a thought, if you are thinking of buying for the swap, i can’t garentee you’ll get your order before the close date, so you may want to send a note to your partner later letting them know it might be a little late!
i will be going out of town on emergency (my grandfather is dying) Please continue to update orders! I will take my Laptop, but i am not sure if i will have access. I shouldn’t be gone more than a week. If i am, i will find a way to connect and get everything settled. I do need a volunteer to be added as an admin to be able to invite others to join. any one? thanks!
:woohoo:I was just perusing that site at about 4 a.m. today. I [I]want[/I] one of everything, but I promise to actually [I]be[/I] reasonable.
going to see what I need to do to place an order with you
sorry about your grandfather. 
edit: I’ll help you admin if no one’s already stepped forward.
jeanius, i’m so sorry about your grandfather. i too am travelling for a grandparent. my grandmother died tuesday and we are driving up to maryland in the morning to be with family.
i have a question about the merino. what is the difference between the 1-ply and the 3-ply (besides the ply, of course)? would you use each for different projects? would the 1-ply be better suited for certain things and the 3-ply better suited for certain other things?
not jeanius, but i THINK the 1 ply would be better suited for felting, yes?
none of them are superwash, so all would be good for felting. read here about plies. i think 3 ply would lay more even in your stitches (like the first photo) and 1 ply like the second photo. HTH the corriedale is a 1 ply, and the lace appears to be a single, but i am not even 50% sure on that 
gotcha. that really helps. now i just have to decide what kind of look i want, as well as what colors. oh, the decisions! :roll:
also, not sure if it’s clear, but you can order any yarn in any colorway. the lady running the coop has doubly made sure as there was a problem a while back with a different company .:yay:
hey there, if you still need a helper I can try. I’m not a blogger but I can try to figure it out. I’ll be on at least once a day this weekend. I’m so sorry about your grandfather.
