Here is my proposal for the fibre exchange. Everything is negotiable so please let me know if you want to do it differently. Please email me if you have any questions.
HOW IT WORKS
Each participant sends off bags of fibre to the co-ordinator (me) and receives different bags of fibre back.
TYPES OF FIBRE
Any fibre suitable for felting.
AMOUNT OF FIBRE TO PUT IN
You put in approx 50g for each person taking part in the exchange (e.g. if 5 people are participating you put 4 lots of 50g in the box - you don't put one in for yourself LOL). If you don't have enough of one colour or type of fibre for everyone then you can put a mixture of colours or types in.
PACKAGING OF FIBRE
Please put each 50g lot of fibre in a sealed cellophane or ziplock bag. Attach a label or tag to each bag with your name, what kind of fibre it is and, if you can remember, where you got it from (so us fibreholics can go and buy some more LOL)
DEADLINE
Please send the fibre by Friday 7th July. More details about the postage will be provided once I find out how many people are participating.
