Do you have yarn and fiber that you are never going to use but is still taking up space in your stash? Of course you do! This is a chance to move it from your stash to someone else’s. You can bring items to sell (can be anything fiber related) or give them away for free. Remember to bring cash in case you see something you can’t live without.
