Thank you for the yarn William!

dub-ya, Howdy;

William if I could have any idea of how many people would like to join this swap I say COME ON AND JOIN! It doesn't have to end at 10...Hell I'm all hours so I can just keep tying! ololol

IF ANYONE WANT TO JOIN IN PLEASE DO SO!

Ah, so now we are starting to get into the nitty gritty of what the packs contained. I didn't remember Wallaby going in the box, but that explains it, thanks William.
So for the three packs I have since sent out, sorry- you will be short changed a little as there is no Wallaby or yarns from William, but there should be enough to get you through the swap and still come up with some interesting patterns.

Hi Hank,

I have some of the Walaby and I will send you a picture.


greeting

Ruard, Howdy;

Thank you, the photo should be helpful.

Cheers

Hank, I can be down right anal about things at times, but not always. I know when I divided up a section of wallaby they were about 2"x2"...roughly and irregularly. The guard hairs are long 1 1/2 inches on some. Brownish gray. Sorry that's the best I can do. If anyone would like some, Jeff was very generous and sent a piece that would serve both Hayden and myself for a lifetime. Is be happy to share. Just send a note.

Is this swap official? Due date? I need rules, otherwise I tend to make my own. =)

William some of the people who want to tie have not received the materials yet from Jeff. I'm waiting to hear from them. I have about 10 people now and yes this is legit with no due date as yet or start time. This swap is a "self expression of tying" swap with only the materials in 'your' envelope the prerequisite. You can not add to the envelope content but you can make whatever fly you'd like. Let your inner child go and tie away!!!!

However, I'd like to get this thing going ASAP.

Thanks for the description of the Wallaby, I have a square (?), of that. Now I need to figure out what the
small patch of shortish (3/8ths to 1/2 inch length), dark, dark brown with golden highlights is ...

Geez..... that is going to be hard...... how do you make a hook out of yarn? Or are we allowed to introduce thread and a hook to the mix from the "envelope"?

Smuggler, Zen Leecher and Dwclapp are the three awaiting materials from me and they are on their way as of Friday for two and the other went out on Monday, so in a week to ten days all of the 10 should have the needed materials at hand.
Have not received a request from gig for materials, so guess he has sorted things from his end and is still in the swap?
But I would think that requesting the needed materials would be good enough for a conformation of participation?
