COLINETTE ZANZIBA: Per Colinette - If Bob Marley and Shirley Temple had children their hair would look like our Zanziba yarn. Well, maybe not so colorful, but the beautiful sheen and texture would be spot-on, and most likely bring you to relentless, joyful singing. Combining the chunky slub yarn of which we are so fond with a coiling effect creates an amazingly striking texture. The content is wool and viscose, and each skein is 100g and 88m/96 yd. Lustrous and soft, it begs to be touched and thanks to its weight, is a great go-to yarn for quick yet memorable projects.

Hello and welcome to my well-loved yet oversized stash! I have but a tiny amount of my yarn listed, so please come back later as I am (honestly!) trying to get this under control. Feel free to message me if you are looking for something. It could be in one of my 72 bins.

Here is some information about buying from me:

Combined shipping:  I am happy to combine items from multiple listings into a single shipment to save on shipping costs. Please be sure to request an invoice prior to paying. If you are not able to request an invoice, no worries! It happens a lot!!! Message me with what you want, and I will create a listing specific to your request. If you want a quote, please include your zip code.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR TOTAL PRIOR TO PAYING. I AM NOT ABLE TO OFFER A DISCOUNT ON COMPLETED TRANSACTIONS.

I am going through my HUGE stash.  I realized that I have more than a lifetime's worth of full- time knitting.  The purging process is slow and painful; however, I am gradually making some progress.  I am listing as much as I can tolerate in a sitting (I'm not very good at this!).  Feel free to check back as I am trying to list a couple of selections daily.

Please note: Colors may not be exactly as shown.  The photos shown are either the item you are purchasing or from the lot that is available. I do my best to maintain consistency and take many pictures, but the colors can vary.  Hand dyed yarns also vary from skein to skein. In addition, please be aware colors may look different depending on the type of on your monitor settings. Most yarn buyers are well aware of this as we have all bought yarn from major yarn retailers and been a bit, well, let’s call it “surprised” when we opened the box.  I try to prevent that surprise as much as possible.  Please know that I am doing my best to show you what you will be getting.  And you can always ask me questions!

Shipping:  Your yarn will be shipped either USPS First Class or Priority Mail.  If you prefer that your item be sent USPS Priority Mail, either select that option in shipping methods or message me.  Other factors that affect this selection are the weight of item(s) and value of item(s).  USPS First Class is by far the riskier shipping method, so if a yarn is especially rare or valuable, it should be shipped using Priority Mail.

Description: My yarn is new with labels unless specified.  It is stored in plastic bags in sealed bins.  Smoke-free home.  

Price is for a single skein unless the listing clearly describes a group being sold at one time as a “lot”.

A quick FYI – this yarn was purchased with the full intent of me personally knitting something beautiful with it.  Over the last few years, I realized that I do not knit quickly, and all of my knitting fantasies will not fulfilled in a single lifetime.  So, I made the painful decision to de-stash.  It is bit personal for me, which makes it different than the clothing I sell. I love and cherish this yarn (as only another fiber lover will fully understand)!
