    You will be able to determine your total, please see the information below. Thank you.

    Suggested Uses: Crocheted Edgings, Tatting, Sating Stitch, Cross Stitching, Scrapbooking, Stamping, Punch Needle Work, Needlepoint, Candlewicking, Quilting, Embroidery, Crocheted lace, Crochet Flowers, other crochet works, knitted lace, knitted bead bags, held with a component yarn. It can be used on aida and hemp.

    There are 50+ beautiful colors!!!!!

    Please read below carefully. Read it all, then read it again. Everything you need to know should be covered below, including cost and shipping costs.

    There will be 2 options available to you:

    Variegated - 10 balls each color per buy in.
    Solids - 15 balls each color per buy in. Some variegates are sent with the solids, though not many.

    Sign-ups will be ongoing through Friday, May 30th.

    YOUR CHECKS, MONEY ORDERS (send cash at your own risk) MUST BE IN MY HANDS ON OR BEFORE June 6th! There will be no grace period. Your lot will voided. Period. If your life is busy right now, finances might be a problem, if you're sick, etc this is not the time to hop on board. Thanks in advance for understanding.
    Please send your payment as soon as you are able.

    You may buy-in for as many lots of each as you'd like. Shipping costs will be listed below. You may request one color choice per solid buy in (with the variegated buy in everyone gets 1 of each color, there is no opt out) that you would *not* like to receive. For example, you purchase 2 lots, you can say "please do not send me pink or red." or "no variegated." Again, ONE choice per buy in. If you are purchasing 4 or more buy ins you may not request no repeats. I will not give more than 2 repeats. I do my best not to give repeats to begin with.

    Solid/Variegated Mix:
    150 Balls Cotton

    Buy In Cost:
