A yarn update!

We just listed some fantastic, and I mean fantastic organic plant dyed yarns from Ever Green Yarns. Hanna is the talented dyer and she works for One Planet Yarn. She did a fantastic job dyeing with a wide variety of plants, many of them local Arizona plants. The yarn is a high quality organic merino and it comes in a variety of weights: bulky, worsted, DK and fingering. Make sure to take a look at this as it is just beautiful and the colors are soft, natural and gorgeous!

What's new this week

What's New This Week

We are still adding many new yarns and other fun things every single day! This week we will be adding a new shipment of Madelinetosh yarn. Madelinetosh is a fairly new company based out of Texas. She handpaints all of her yarns and she also makes the luxury spinning batts you have seen on our site. We have been getting great reviews on the hand blended spinning batts and more are going to be added soon! Her yarns are absolutely beautiful and the fiber itself is so soft!! So if you are a handpainted sock yarn lover, this is your week! Over half of the yarns sold within the first hour of posting, but there are some beautiful ones left and more in the future.













We also got a new shipment in from Fleece Artist and HandMaiden. There are many new colors of Sea Silk Yarn, Sea Wool yarn and Merino Sock Yarn! All three are great for lace work, shawls, summer tops and the sea wool and merino have sock patterns on the labels. There are several new colors of our favorite kits and some new kits too. Look at this gorgeous "Lady of the Lake" sweater kit and the beautiful huge skein that makes it!! This is in olive green, the color shown in the pattern photo:




All the new yarn and kit colors will be added by the end of today Tuesday.! There are new colors for all of the yarns and kits we carry. More yarns and kits are coming soon! Make sure to click on "more info" on most of the listings as we added some photos of the Fleece Artist and Hand Maiden skeins so you can see what they are like! Nothing is as exciting as opening up a box from these companies. The yarns are too gorgeous for words!! The photographs don't capture their beauty. Look at these three HUGE HUGE skeins of yarn that are used for the Soft Wavy Wrap. They are simply beautiful!! This kit can also be used for a pattern called the Alpaca Garter Stitch Jacket which we are providing free with each soft wavy wrap kit. Take a look at three of these gorgeous skeins in spring, glacier and pale pink. We are placing a new order with Fleece Artist and Hand Maiden this week. Would you like a special order? We can get any kit or yarn on their website for you in any color, so please let us know! We will be adding on several more kits and yarns in our next order!






























One of our wonderful customers, Leslie, sent in some photos of her beautiful Fleece Artist Celtic Vest Kit that she made in the color madder. We just added quite a few new colors in size M/L and Small. This vest kit can also be ordered in an XL by the way. Aren't these photos great. This is not Leslie by the way, but her friend, who is a wonderful model! Thanks Leslie and friend!







We also have a new shipment of beautiful fiber jewelry from Perl Grey Studios. Perl Grey is Fleece Artist's "sister" company in Nova Scotia. This is a family run business that has been in the pewter business for 5 generations! They also develop knit kits with the Fleece Artist yarns. In this shipment we added some new "buttonsticks" which are wonderful as shawl pins or on any sweater. We also have more of the very popular "ringsticks" and some adorable new black sheep earrings!! Everything new will be listed this week. Take a peek at a few items here, my favorite black sheep earrings and a gorgeous ring stick made of pewter in the shape of a leaf.
