I have a handwoven triangle shawl wove out of handspun wool yarn. It is about 7 ft across the top. It wraps around my plus sized body nicely.. I am looking for fabric.. anything from fat quarters to yardage- 2 1/2 yards to 5 yards (to sew a jumper/dress for my plus sized body)also looking for Amy Butler patterns.I finally have a sewing machine I just need fabric! If you have a large fabric stash and would like to trade please email me..
Thanks! Debra |

Ginger, Your shawl has been sent- last Saturday. You should have received it by now. I haven't heard from you- did you get the box off on your end?
thanks.

Would you consider making another AWESOME SHAWL and swapping for you name it.....Let me know. I am willing to trade just about anything short of my children and my dog. I have been trying to learn how to knit and I can't come up with anything that comes close to your work of art.

Oh my! I would love to trade you homemade bath and body items for a shawl, but I don't think I would have time to make stuff up until at _least_ October or November...

I just wanted to add- please don't be put off by the price of my shawls.. you never know what we can work out.. and... I know how much handmade items go for, how much fabric costs, how much patterns go for.... what you think wouldn't be worth it to you, may be worth it to me.

AH, shucks!! Thank you Alee... I was thinking about selling my loom because it takes a lot of space in my small house but I just couldn't.. So I will be weaving again.. if anyone wants a shawl email me.. It is a big trade.. it takes time to process the wool, spin the yarn and then weave it.. they usually go for around $350 sometimes less sometimes more depending on the fiber used. but I love all kinds of things and I love to barter so you never know.. handmade items, fabric and notions, handmade soaps, more yarn to weave and knit with, quilts etc...

I bet you could get just about anything you want by bartering your shawls! They look fantastic and I can just imagine cuddling up with one on a cool morning!

I love that shawl!!!... Would you be interested in 100% Linen? I have a teal green? At least 3 yrs... maybe more. I also have cotton. But the Linen would make better clothes.
