2024 Indie Dyer Mini Skein Swap
Let’s have some fun because Indie Dyers love mini skein advents too!!!
Indie Dyer Swap requirements
DEADLINE - October 15th - or earlier if you have them earlier
- Send 20 gram minis in fingering weight to me - Marian - addy to follow in an email
- 24 for the swap (yes, you’ll be receiving your mini back in your advent but that makes my life easier 😊)
- 6 for the Fundraising Box (read below)
- the 30 mini skeins do not have to be the same colorways/bases
- If you have packaging (little baggie/box) for the minis, that’s great. But if you don’t, I have packaging.
- they do need to be labeled/tagged with your company name and yarn info - fiber content/yardage/etc… even if it is a sticker on the outside of the packaging
- Please send either a superwash merino/nylon blend or 100% superwash merino
- if you have anything else you would like to send for the fundraising box, it would be welcome (stickers/pins/etc…) - it doesn’t have to be 6 of the same thing because the fundraising boxes do not have to be the same
The Indie Dyer Mini Skein Advent will be set up in advent calendar style with packages numbered to be opened on a particular day - you can of course open them all at once - I won’t judge 😝
The Fundraising Boxes
There is a food bank local to me - Elijah’s Promise - that is more than a food bank - they are also a culinary school and they offer social services to those in need. My plan is to put together 3 24 mini skein boxes and 6 12 mini skein boxes and sell them as a fundraiser with 100% of the proceeds going to Elijah’s Promise. The last time I did this in 2021, six boxes sold in less than 5 minutes and raised $1194 for the fundraiser. It made for a very happy end of the year.
If you sign up but are unable to send the minis, please let me know ASAP.
