Two hanks of green teal, one of silver and one of a blue colour (not currently available on the Iona Wool webpage). I don't normally use 4-ply so if anyone else can, that would be lovely.

Free: CDs (Newtown St Boswells TD6) Expired 139d - A mixed bag of 13 classical CDs that came with past BBC Music magazines. They can't be resold so taking them to a charity shop is not an option. Included are works by Mahler, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Bach, Stravinsky, Clara Schumann and others.

Free: EasiYo Yogurt Maker and 4 Yogurt Sachets (Newtown St Boswells TD6) Gifted 164d - EasiYo Yogurt making system with 2 sachets of Greek Style Coconut Yogurt and 2 Low Fat Greek Style sachets. Simple to use (just add mix to 500ml warm water, shake and then add boiling water to the yogurt maker, pop in the container and leave overnight) and each sachet makes 1kg of yogurt. It's a bit of a struggle for two of us to get through all that yogurt in time so it would be better for family use. BBF date on yogurt is 7/2024. Extra flavours can be bought from Lakeland, Amazon, eBay, etc.

Free: Deuter Rucksack (Newtown St Boswells TD6) Gifted 175d - I think the website says it best: 'With its ventilated 'Aircomfort' back system the Deuter Futura 22 SL is an exceptionally comfortable daysack, with a short back length, designed for day hikes and short excursions. The shorter back of the Futura 22 SL, is made to fit women or men with a shorter torso length. It has zipped access in the top of the pack to the main compartment, along with secondary zipped access in the base. The main compartment can also be divided with a zipped internal divider, adding to the Futura's versatility. There is a additional pocket with a key clip, that is ideally sized for small accessories such as a phone or GPS. 2 external mesh pockets can carry water bottles or small essentials, and there is also attachment points for trekking poles or an ice axe.' I've had this for a few years now but it's in good condition and ready for many more miles.

Free: Vintage Lloyd Loom Chair (Newtown St Boswells TD6) Gifted 225d - This genuine Lloyd Loom chair belonged to my mother-in-law who had it when she married in 1939. It has been repainted and the seat was replaced (the original webbing had failed). Approximate dimensions : 76cm high x 54cm wide x 50cm deep. The new cushion is covered in Volga linen. The Lloyd Loom Vauxhall chair is the modern equivalent of the Lusty 'Popular model 7031' dating from 1933.

Free: Small rucksack (Newtown St Boswells TD6) Gifted 229d - I think the 'Run Commuter' site says it all: 'This small, light backpack is simple yet sturdy and is perfect for a certain type of runcommuter. It is about as basic as you can get in a pack designed specifically for running/sports. The Speedlite 10 is a great runcommuting pack for those who value durability, quality, and simplicity, but more significantly, those who want a pack that they can forget about while running...' Of course, I never used it for running, sedate walking is more my style... It will comfortably hold everything needed for a short walk - lunch, phone, sweater, slim water bottle and whatever else you can cram in.

Free: Double Doors (Newtown St Boswells TD6) Gifted 236d - A pair of double wood-grain effect white double doors, 838mm x 1971mm. Door handles and hinges included. Excellent condition. What else can I say, other than they open and shut!

Free: Greenhouse Irrigation System (Newtown St Boswells TD6) Gifted 278d - We bought this irrigation system and timer from Ebay for our greenhouse tomatoes. The system works best attached to the mains rather than a water butt. The timer is a bit erratic - works fine sometimes and then goes on strike. Perhaps someone would like to fiddle with it and get it to function more reliably.

Free: Pair White Sheer Curtains (Newtown St Boswells TD6) Gifted 1y - A pair of white sheer curtains, approximately 212cm long and 131cm wide. The fabric is 100% linen Ada & Ina 'Molly' White.
