I don’t know that it’s worth the effort to save, actually. I have a bunch of pin drafted roving that I can spin for laceweight white yarn.
Plus… several months ago I received an enormous box from my friend who recently moved north to outside of Spokane. Turns out she has made friends with a local farmer - and, spur of the moment, sent me an unwashed Rambouillet fleece. As I just cannot deal with unwashed fleece (no means to clean and they set off my allergies something fierce) I immediately sealed it back up in the box and shipped it off to Battenkill Fibers in upstate NY for processing. Sometime (they are very backed up) that 8 pounds of fleece will be coming back - I’m guessing I’ll have 4 to 5 pounds of pin drafted roving. I’m hoping to sell some of it to make back some of the cost of this present - at $70 for UPS to ship the box plus something like $30 a pound for processing, it was an expensive present!

I bought that in Toronto close to 20 years ago - and it was in the close out bin, having already been discontinued for several years. I sent DD’s girlfriend 5 pounds of yarn, and packed up another 8 pounds and sent to my BFF. That emptied one of the 30 gallon tubs.
I tried to spin some washed Cormo locks yesterday that I bought after taking Judith’s class in Madrona. Facebook tells me that trip was 9 years ago - showing me a picture with the friends we no longer have. The stuff stubbornly refused to be spun - I’m guessing it’s been in stash too long. I’ll give it one more chance and then toss it.
The combination of retirement, pandemic, and climate change means I really have no need of much of the wool in my stash. Other than the backyard dinners we have had, I haven’t worn any of my sweaters - and have little desire to knit more. I miss have events to dress for! I live in jeans, comfy pants and t shirts.
Hope all are well,

I've never done a power move before. I think I never want to do one again.
This is mostly trying to take advantage of the insane market to get out of a house that has some layout issues.
Provided there's nothing in my credit report I don't know about (and that would be bad!), I do have confirmation that the place I want to rent is mine. Huge, huge relief.

Connie you are cracking me up. Both you and Melisande inspired me to move part of my stash into a cabinet I emptied so I can actually use my office, as, well, an office. OMG I hear you on finding stuff you'd forgotten. And I still have stash overseas. And upstate. What was I thinking? And so many bags too! Good luck to you both, Nilda

Thanks!? My realtor texted me this morning that the first showing, even before the listing is active, is scheduled for next Tuesday.? I only came up with the idea of moving now less than a month ago I think. ? I’m moving to the temporary rental almost entirely to keep Arielle in our school district and school (there’s only one high school here).? That’s been a big lift – finding anywhere to rent, much less somewhere that will accept my menagerie.? ? Melisande ?

I'm feeling rather the same way right now about addictions, though I think I might be on a slightly smaller scale.
I am frantically packing my house because it's officially going on the market this weekend.? There's a lot of insanity.?
I think (please think good thoughts at the universe) that I have found a place for the next 18 or so months.? It's in my school district (essential), in "town" (which will be new for Arielle and the idea of which she loves even though I think she's either going to have to walk to school or I'll wind up driving her), but it's also tiny.? 945 square feet of living space with 1880s width stairs kind of tiny.? Came to the conclusion last night that while my dresser would fit in the room, I don't think we can get it up the stairs.? It's going to be quite the adventure.
Wish me luck!

This last weekend was the beginning of moving things from inside this home to the new one.? (Darryl had already taken several loads from the garage to “His” barn.)
Today we took an entire cargo trailer of yarn, wool rovings, and a few sewing things.? The trailer is 12’ long x6’ wide x 7’ tall.? ?It was packed tightly.? 39 big tubs of yarn at the very front, then boxes of yarn, then wool.?

Good luck Melisande! That's a big transition. It sounds good. And Connie - you are the Queen of Stash. Wow what a photo. xoNilda
Good luck with the packing and sale, Melisande. Are you moving somewhere temporary intentionally so you don't have to think about what to do next immediately? Sounds smart!
