I updated the list of participants to include blog links. Please let me know if your link doesn't work. Also, I could use some suggestions for places to buy undyed yarn. So far all I have in that section of links is knitpicks. Has anyone ordered undyed yarn from another vendor that they were happy with? If so, let me know so I can add them to the list.
Thanks,
~Celena

1. The fourth round of this swap is for a skein of hand-dyed sock yarn and a picture that inspired you to dye it.
2. You must dye the yarn yourself specifically for your assigned pal.
3. The yarn must be enough to knit an adult sized pair of socks.
4. I may or may not assign pairs this round. I'm going to post a poll to see how people liked that idea last round. Assigning pairs means that you will send yarn to the person that is sending yarn to you.
5. You may send other goodies to your pal along with the yarn but you are only required to send yarn appropriate for the current round of this swap as well as the picture/postcard that inspired you.
6. You must be able to take and post digital pictures and you must post a picture of your yarn on this blog within a week of receiving it. Seeing other dyers creations is one of the best things about this swap so please, please post pictures of what you receive.
7. You must completely fill out the questionnaire and give your swap pal some guidance. You will not be assigned a partner if you do not complete the questionnaire.

Welcome to official blog for The Hand Dyed Yarn Swap. This is a fun swap where we hand dye yarn for our swap partner. Sign-ups for Round 4 are now open. We also have links for buying undyed yarn and supplies as well as tutorials for dyeing yarn.
How do I sign up for Round 4?
Sign-ups are closed for Round 4.
Participants this round: 18
Swap is open to residents of the US and Canada. International participants will be accepted as long as I find pals willing or wanting an international pal. We had a couple of international participants last time around that worked out really well so we'll probably find pals for everyone.
To sign up, send your questionnaire and answers to swappingyarn@gmail.com. You will get an invite to the blog so that you can post to it once you are accepted into the swap.

I'm glad I came across this :) I signed up, I can't wait to participate! I love any chance I get to dye up some yarn!
Paton's Classic Wool in a white shade is good for dying. But if you want something in sock-yarn-tension... well, the only stuff I found was on ebay, I stumbled on a few cones of it in a lot. White and ready to dye.
I order some yarn from Wool Peddler that I liked really well.

Louet.com has Gems Pearl fingering wt. yarn. I used their cream coloured yarn to dye and it works great.
Thanks ladies!
I don't see wool2dye4.com on your list, yet. I think I'll be trying them.
