This auction was cancelled on November 2, 2002.
This is a re-listing of an auction that Ms. Starmore had pulled this afternoon by falsely claiming that I infringed her copyright and/or trademark rights. I would like to make clear that I am in no way affiliated with either Ms. Starmore or her company Virtual Yarns(tm) and am simply selling yarn which I purchased for my own use and no longer want. My use in this listing of the words “Alice Starmore(tm)”, “Virtual Yarns(tm)” and “Shearwater(tm)” is used solely for purposes of identification of the product being sold (as permitted by law) and is in no way intended to infringe the copyright or trademark rights of Ms. Starmore(tm). You are bidding on 14 pristine skeins Alice Starmore(tm) [used solely for descriptive purposes] Hebridean 3-ply(tm) [used solely for descriptive purposes] yarn in the color “Shearwater”(tm) [used solely for descriptive purposes]. Content is “100 pure new wool made in Great Britain” [quote from label used solely for descriptive purposes]. The photograph provided is one I took myself of the yarn I am selling and is in no way intended to confuse buyers into thinking that I am in any way affiliated with Alice Starmore(tm) or Virtual Yarns(tm) [terms used solely for descriptive purposes]. All proceeds of this auction will be donated to the KnittingBeyondTheHebrides Legal Fund in support of that group’s efforts to halt what I believe are false infringement claims being made by Alice Starmore(tm) [used solely for descriptive purposes] against eBay sellers and YahooGroups members. Enjoy this beautiful yarn! Please feel free to email with any questions.
