I'm in Rick.  I leaning toward chartreuse or yellow for my batch.  Pieces are about 2 inches long.

I'm in Rich.
It would be helpful to list what colors exist for those who may not know.
Their are also two size diameters, standard (1/4") and small (1/8").

Gen question? Would it be best to leave the strands " on the hide?"

Quite a bit more work for everyone, I presume?

I may have some poor nubs or brand, but some, once clipped, seem to unravel to the point of fluff, when handled less roughly than a postal sorter....

Sorry, I am not in on the swap, just replying to FRn's comment on leaving the nubs on the fabric backing.

 

On mine, if I am cutting several off, I use a lighter an melt the cut end just a touch.  Keeps the nub from unraveling forever and can be cut off when tying. 

 

The melt point can also be pulled into a thin, flat fiber if one wishes ... allows for a tie in point without all the fluff bulking up the tie in.

If you want 1" bright yellow in your swap I'm in with a letter sized envelope full (glows a little in uv, not a lot); if not no hard feelings. Re postage, when I sent some to fshng2 that way the post office wanted $3 for a package rate, but I sent with 70 cent stamp and it made it to him.

 These were perfect and 1" was long enough.

Chugbug, thanks again for the gift.

most knubs can be loose but if you feel better of leaving them on the backing just do it.     rich

Thank you, will do best I can, with 4 or 5 colors to put into play here; may flame, uv weld, or ingore the unraveler types of nubs.
