8 skeins of Phildar Phil Ruban in Blush!

Update: This yarn offer has been taken and is no longer available.

8 brand-spankin' new skeins of Phildar Phil Ruban in Blush, a luxurious ribbon yarn in subtle pink. 100% cotton. Machine-washable. 8 US (5mm) needles, 17 sts and 21 rows 4"x4" (10x10 cm) square. 1.76 oz (50 grams) in each skein, 105 yds (96 m). I bought this yarn with this project in mind:

Sexy quick-knit halter from Phildar Facile 2002 catalog. (An easy knit! 4 skeins makes up to the largest size.)

Lacy cardi from Printemps 2003. (Edited: 8 skeins makes up to size 42/44 size 38/40.)

Sleeveless top from Summer Evasion 2003. (6 skeins makes up to largest size 50/52.)

All the Phildar patterns I follow are in French, but they are not included and I don't provide them. However, I can help out with a translation if you want this yarn for one of the designs above.

Regular price for this yarn in France is 4-4.50 euros, and is difficult to find overseas. When available, it costs 8-10 euros a skein! I'm sharing it with you for 3.00 [! :-)] euros a skein. Total cost for yarn is only 24 euros + shipping. I ship worldwide*. Priority shipping is approximately 15.80 euros to America and 11.40 euros within Europe. Surface shipping is 11.40 euros to America and 8.80 euros within Europe. You also have the option of my sending it certified for an additional 4 euros, which I highly recommend (and will require if I've never shipped to you before) as yarn losses are NOT reimbursed. (Please read my stash diving rules re shipping and other details.)
