Description

The listing, Beautiful Silk and Merino Yarn! Never used, has ended.

Cherry Hill Tree Yarn describes their yarn:

Using a unique blending process, we individually hand dye and hand paint our yarn at our studio in the Green Mountains of Vermont. We take great pride in providing you with only the highest quality yarn.

http://www.cherryyarn.com/yarns.html

The color is called Wild Cherry. This yarn is a medley of pinks, from a deep pink pink, to a purple pink. Very soft and bright. One skein, enough to make a pair of socks and then some. The label says:

Silk and Merino DK
A 50/50 blend
313 yards 4 oz hank
5 sts per inch on size 5 needles

Very Nice Yarn!! Look at their website (URL Above) if you want to see their products.

Free US shipping too!

WARNING to bidders ... many bids placed in the last minute never register because Listia's servers can get overwhelmed and slow down. If you want something PLEASE place your bid at LEAST two minutes before the auction end--before it's too late!

Check this out: http://www.donorschoose.org -- lets you donate to classrooms across the country. Your gifts are tax deductible and they send the information in Jan for your taxes (i.e. you don't have to keep track yourself). Teachers request funding for specific supplies for their classrooms -- lets teachers think of a neat project and get funding for the supplies--and if YOU are a teacher, it would let you make donations to your own project and at least get a tax credit ... since so many teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies anyway!

Just kinda neat if you want to check it out ... look for projects in your home area, or for those for the neediest kids and schools!

Thanks. It is a great array of pinks into purples. Would make a beautiful pair of socks or lacy scarf. Very soft.

My donorsChoose.org projects are just sitting there right now. I did get one or two donations when I first listed here (Thank you so much everyone for doing that!). I am hoping that as the school year approaches (some parts of the country going back next week!) there will be more activity. Of course if folks are donating to other projects in their area I would not know about it.

It would be great if we could get folks to tell us what kind of projects they found in their area at donorsChoose.org!

This is beautiful yarn and very similar to my other auction the Cherry Tree hill. Just a different mix of colors. Many many deep pinks on this one. The main difference is this one has not been touched and is a full skein.

It would make a really nice pair of fingerless gloves, scarf,

This yarn could me mixed with my other listing of Cherry Tree Hill Yarn and so quite nicely on a project that needs a bit more yarn. This one and the larger ball would give you over 400 yards of yarn which would make a nice shawl or scarf.
