Free: Yarn Swift to hold a hank of yarn for winding into a ball (Halton LS15) Promised A Yarn Swift, or as I refer to it - a Wool Winder!!! It's for holding a hank of yarn while you wind it into a ball for knitting/crochet. The frame is metal, the struts which hold the yarn seem to be plastic (or perhaps nylon). They are nice and pliant for holding the yarn. It works like an umbrella so can be adjusted to the diameter of your hank. It has a metal foot to clamp onto a table or work surface to keep it stable while you wind. It works well but I’ve recently been gifted a new on so this is now surplus.

Free: Oval Infuser Tea Pot with Drip Tray (Halton LS15) Gifted This is a virtually new tea pot. I've used it only once! It has a basket for loose leaf tea and a drip tray if you want to remove the tea leaves when the tea is strong enough. It can also be used with tea bags. It makes enough tea for two mugs full. I love the design and colour - at least I loved the design until I tried to use it - it's clearly been designed by someone right-handed. I found the lip to remove the basket is on the wrong side for me to use comfortably and safely the left-handed way. I should have looked at it more carefully when I bought it!!! My fault for not checking but hopefully if you are right-handed this should be an ideal addition for making tea.

Free: job lot of no longer worn jewelry (Halton LS15) Expired A mixed lot of pre-loved jewelry, including watches and earrings, which I no longer wear. Six watches, which need new batteries - three wrist watches including a left-handed wrist watch which also needs new glass over the display and 3 fob watches. Various earrings for pierced ears, mostly pairs, but a couple on their own. Two necklaces with matching earrings - the May Blossom set came from the British Museum, and the black and leafy set at the edge of the picture is fair trade jewelry. I'm not sure what metal they are all made of, so it's pot luck in that respect. They all came to me new, so there has only ever been one user for each item.

Free: nearly full roll of wallpaper (Halton LS15) Expired I needed to buy a full roll of paintable wallpaper to redecorate where we'd moved something away from the wall. I've only used about 45cms, so if you're decorating, this might be useful for you. There's also an unused paintbrush to go with the wallpaper. Enjoy!!!

Free: knitting needle case including some knitting needles (Halton LS15) Gifted I now only use circular knitting needles, so I'm hoping someone will give a home to my knitting needle case and its contents, mostly straight, single-pointed needles of various sizes, plus two sets of double pointed needles. I made the case myself, so the slots are where I chose to put them. Please reply if you are interested in this collection of knitting needles with their own case. Thanks Tricia
