One Planet Yarn And Fiber - Madelinetosh in the House!

The box came from Madelinetosh last night and I was able to get everything up on the website today.  As I did the inventory, I could not believe my eyes.  The images for the website are pulled directly from the Madelinetosh website.  They do the yarns a great injustice.  There is no way to capture the beauty on camera with the colors and intensity of the yarns.

In stock now are pashmina, tosh merino light and several new patterns.  Please enjoy the selection.

Karen

Save the Children/Caps for Good Campaign

The National NeedleArts Association is excited to announce their partnership with Save the Children/Caps for Good Campaign, along with Warm Up America.


Save the Children/Caps for Good Campaign asks all Americans to pick up their knitting needles and crochet hooks to help save the lives of nearly four million newborn babies in the developing world. TNNA is asking you to reach out to customers, friends and family to knit and crochet caps. They will display all of the knit and crochet caps at the TNNA Winter Show in Long Beach, starting on January 6 and from there the caps will be distributed to new moms and their babies through Save the Children's programs in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Here is the link for the pattern on my website.  Please consider helping with this project.

Pattern of the Day -NEW PATTERN from Never Not Knitting!

Never Not Knitting's Alana Dakos has a new pattern out that compliment's her Cedar Leaf Shawl that was designed for One Planet Yarn and Fiber.  She says that the shawl pattern is her favorite so she just had to make a beret to go with it.  One of the yarns she suggests to use for this is Madeline Tosh's Pashmina which is due here next week.  How lucky was that!

Thought You Might Like This-What I Found At The Farmer's Market This Past Saturday

This past weekend was the Walk for the Cure in Phoenix.  The walkers went through several cities in the metro area.  As the walkers went through Old Scottsdale there were hordes of spectators waiting for them.  Part of the festivities were a posse of cowboys on horseback.  Although I didn't see the riders I did catch some of the horses while they were waiting.


And of course, afterwards the cowboys had to eat, so they parked their companions in front of the Saddle Ranch Restaurant.

One Planet Yarn And Fiber Introduces Indie Dyer-Sharptalk Handcrafts!

I finally did it.  I moved all my hand painted roving and personally carded and hand dyed batts that were in my Etsy shop over to One Planet Yarn ans Fiber.  What a relief.  I thought I'd never get to it.

You'll find my work under Indie Artists-Sharptalk Handcrafts

I loved learning to dye.  Each time is such an adventure.  I will be doing more of the future as time allows.  Several batts and roving have already sold, so I can't take too long to paint more.

Fiber Addicts Rejoice! More Handpainted Urban Gypz Roving In Stock

I so much have to apologize to Urban Gypz.  These absolutely gorgeous hand painted rovings have been here over a month, but I only just had a chance to photograph them and edit the pictures for the website.  The fibers used are fantastic.  As I took the pictures, I ignored the tags and guessed what the roving blends were.  There are 36 new rovings all together.  Happy spinning!
