peaches and creme overload

Hi everyone,
I have a ton of peaches and creme 1lb cones ...aran color only..and i'm trying to get rid of the...no cost for the yarn,  and you only have to pay for the shipping. The shipping is cheapest if you go with the priority box..it only holds one cone and it is $9.60 to anywhere in usa. If anyone is interested please contact me. And it you want more than one, then we can try and figure out how to get them to you for as cheap as possible.
