Yarn for the asking
So, I'm having my house professionally organized. It's forcing me to come to grips with my love of stuff, and just how much of it exists in my house at any given time. While I have yet to sacrifice a single CD, and the only books I've given up are trashy novels by the likes of Maeve Binchy, I am caving on the yarn front.
I'm eventually going to freecycle all of this, but if anyone wants some of it, now's the time to speak up. I'd be happy to pass it on for the cost of postage (keep in mind that some of this stuff probably isn't *worth* the cost of postage). I probably know you, so you can paypal me money, or buy me an iTunes gift certificate or something once I figure out how much it cost me to send it, I'm not too fussy on that front. I can sorta kinda estimate postage, but they're likely to change once I take it to an actual post office, anyway. Comment if you want something (on my actual blog, por favor, LiveJournal feed readers). Leave anything you want kept private, like email or mailing address in a separate comment, since I've got them all on screen anyway, and I'll not approve those for public viewing.
So, here are the available items. (On a separate page, because inserting a table into my blog is proving painful.)
What am I keeping, you might ask?
Some blue wool blend aran weight that I'm in the middle of knitting a very geeky sweater out of my mother.
Some blue worsted weight worsted wool that I'm in the middle of knitting a Cabin Fever sweater out of for my Dad.
Some forest green Cottonella that will eventually be either a Diamond Patch or San Francisco shirt tail for me.
Some really pretty greeny mossy cotton that will eventually be a tank top for me.
Two skeins of mohair blend, one pink, one lime, that will be something piratey.
Half a ball each of pink and lime kitchen cotton, because I need to do some work on my piratey corset.
6 balls of natural coloured hemp in lace weight, I'm not sure what they'll be, but they were expensive, so I'm clinging.
98 zillion pounds of grey silk/wool blend that I made a jacket (which I hate) out of, but which I still love anyway.
Comments
I'd be happy to take the lbs. of natural wool and the bag of blue heather wool if that's uncalled. (I can drive up and save the trouble of mailing anything.)

I would love the green organic cotton and the grey Filati Bertaqua Poesia, if no one else has snapped them up. I'll e-mail you with my address, logistics, etc.
Woo hoo! Yarn! The s.o. is NOT going to be pleased to see more of it arrive. ;-)

Hi, I stumbled across your blog for your yarn stash and I was wondering if you have sold it all by now or do you still have some left? Just by looking over what seems to still be available, ir you figure out how much for the postage on what you have left, i'd be willing to take it off your hands.
My address is in Reno, NV 89509-USA.
So if you could get back to me via e-mail and let me know if you have anything left over.
Thank you,
Koko
