So yesterday I stopped by All About Yarn and picked up these beauties:
The first is some Opal sock yarn (100g ball)- the toucan stripe (the tiger pattern is officially discontinued, boo), Ella Rae mosaic (merino/nylon/kid mohair mix) (3x50g), and Tofutsies sock yarn (100g) a wool, soysilk, cotton and crab chitin mix!
The "naturally antibacterial" claim raises my eyebrows a bit (I am a microbiologist after all), but the whole crab link is very appropriate given that I am in Maryland. Not that they're local crabs - the yarn was made where else - China.
So what do you think? With the $$ limitations I can only send one of these - which would you prefer? My swap partner is "international" and wouldn't normally have access to US yarn - which should I send her?
All About Yarn also sells back issues of knitting/crochet mags for $1.50! I got 3 Interweave issues, yay. More things I can add to my Ravelry queue...

I'd go for the crab yarn. I've heard it's actually very good, but the Maryland tie-in is too good to miss! Thanks for the heads up on the back magazines at All About Yarn. I had no idea!
I agree - the crab yarn would be an excellent choice for an exchange.
I think it's really cool that you are a microbiologist!
