Sharon, I wish you lived closer, I would take the yarn off your hands as my mother-in-law in NY loves to crochet. She just lost her job (she is 76) and now doesn't know if she'll be able to continue to do her passion as she won't have the extra money she made at the greenhouse to buy yarn. Good luck with parting with your stashes of many sorts. I find it hard to just get rid of stuff like that. I keep telling myself "one of these days I'll do that again". In the mean time, it collects dust in the attic or my office.
