You asked for it! Now here it is - the International version of a Yarn Ball Swap.

So, what's a Yarn Ball? There have been several in the past on Swap-Bot. You take several goodies, based on your partner's profile, and wind them, one at a time, into a ball of yarn. Then you tie the whole thing together, and you have a Yarn Ball. There will be pieces sticking out, and it may be strange looking, but that's OK. The point is that your partner will unwind the yarn, and all the goodies will fall out. Sort of a treasure hunt for grownups!

Let's make the value at least $10, before shipping. No junk. A couple of handmade items will be OK, if they are nice. Please send something you would like to receive yourself. This one will be based on your partner's profile. Some ideas to include are:

+dotee doll

+coin purse

+candy

+lip balm

+beads (nice ones)

+stitch markers

+stuffies

+jewelry

+craft supplies

+cute pens

+gel pens

+notepads

And use nice yarn please.

Be creative - aim for hearts!

You need to have a high rating, no no-sends, etc. I reserve the right to ban anyone - nothing personal, I just want to be sure everyone gets a yarn ball. If you don't have many ratings yet, there will be plenty of time to work on that before the swap ends. PM me if you have any questions.

Let's Start Swapping!

A little update: The total value only has to be around $10, or so, including the yarn. Of course, make it more for HEARTS. I am keeping my first couple of swaps at a lower amount. On the next one, I might jump the price up, but I want as many people to participate as would like to. So, yarn and goodies together should be at least $10 USD worth. Postage is extra. Hope this helps!

I had so much fun in the US one, I'm looking forward to this! I just have to remember to keep the package lighter this time :)
