Peace Fleece yarn is a wool/mohair blend, very sturdy, in gorgeous colors. It's my wool of choice for soakers and longies (and sweaters and hats, too). A 200yd/4oz skein usually retails for $7.50, but with wholesale pricing they go for $4.50+tax. They also sell the best hardwood double and single point needles. There are beautiful kits for knitting and felting.
I'm putting together another yarn purchasing co-op to get wholesale prices.
Details:
The wholesale pricing information is available here. The regular catalog, which has a color chart and some descriptions, is available here.
I live in Maine, and will drive to pick up the yarn. That means that we don't have to pay shipping to my house (yay!), but we do have to pay Maine State sales tax (5%). That means that each skein of worsted weight yarn will be $4.73. That's still a good deal.
In addition, there's the cost of shipping your part of the order from Bangor, ME. For about 3 skeins, I estimate shipping costs at $4.55 in the continental US (USPS priority mail flat rate + delivery confirmation). For more skeins, the flat rate may not apply. Sending 3 pounds across the country would be about $7.50 (parcel post with delivery confirmation). If you live in Canada or overseas, I don't know how much it will cost to ship, but I can send you an estimate from usps.com.
If you'd like to participate, you need to pre-pay for the yarn and sales tax. Please let me know what colors and how many you'd like. I can take funded Paypal or e-check at le AT zaposa.com. If you need to use a credit card, please add a dollar for paypal fees and send to esayre AT gmail.com.
When I get the yarn, I'll send you an email with the actual postage. I ship everything with delivery confirmation. Before I ship, you need to pay the shipping costs. I'm not going to tack on a handling fee but if your order won't fit in the free priority mail envelopes I will charge you for the box. Whatever the post office tells me is how much I'll ask for.
I would like to send the order to Peace Fleece on Wednesday, June 14 and will probably pick it up on Tuesday, June 20.
