The heat index here is predicted to hover around 110 degrees!! I thought I would feature some really beautiful and cooling blue from a favorite phat fiber artisan, Deb Johnson of Hampton Artistic Yarns.
Deb's shop is so gorgeous! I am quite in love with her spinning buns. She sent in some for June's Oceanic them and they were so incredibly beautiful, sparkling like glistening seashells! See, you're feeling cooler already! Take a dip into Deb's beautiful Mermaid spinning buns, cooling milk fiber, deep turquoise, and purple mermaid fins- just beautiful!
Of course, for those of you who would prefer to knit or crochet poolside (or in my case coping indoors with a tall glass of iced tea) Deb offers some truly incredible handspun yarns and gorgeous kettle dyed sock weight.
Which brings us to our next amazing giveaway!! Deb has sent in this Caribbean Dream sock yarn for a lucky commenter! Just visit Hampton Artistic Yarns and find something you like! Post about it in the comments section below and we'll draw for a winner on Monday! Please help get the word out about Deb's beautiful shop by plurking, tweeting and facebooking (grin) about her! I will count those as extra entries, please make sure you say you did it!
Deb, we love your shop (and you!) so much! You're a tremendous asset to the group!

Mermaid DK, Caribbean sock yarn. . .hmmm... sounds like perfect summer knitting to me!
How to pick just one favorite!!! The serenity yarn is wonderful!
oh, please may I have the beautiful Serenity Kettle Dyed Superwash Sock Yarn. I'm so totally into crocheting socks right now and that would look so wonderful.
I absolutely love the Superwash Merino - Summer Day in Erie. (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25332345) I went to summer camp on Lake Erie when I was a child, and oh how I loved it - these colors bring back memories, and NEED to be spun up for socks, I can tell! :)
SERENITY - Kettle Dyed Superwash Sock Yarn Is so yummy looking, I could eat it up with a spoon!
Twittering @lauriarose
The "Serenity" Kettle Dyed Superwash Sock Yarn is just perfect for working with on a sunny summer day. Beautiful colors!
~sciteacher @ Ravelry
That milk color set looks fabulous! I would love to get my hands on it. I've never felt milk fiber before. I'll pass the word along in a tweet, too. @vikki77
I must say that the FALLEN LEAF - worsted really caught my eye. I love the colors of Fall!!
This is too funny! I was just over there stalking her milk protein fiber sampler yesterday, debating if I would have enough time to incorporate them into my July samples! Love them! I am also drooling over the Plum Crazy colorway, the Juicy colorway, the Serenity sock yarn, and any of the corriedale pencil roving (I LOVE corriedale) Great shop!
Oooh...I love the serenity sock yarn. Delicious!
Sherbert and rosie look wonderful for knitting. A very nice shop all the fiber looks yummy.
The CORRIEDALE PENCIL ROVING - Jungle - 3.8 oz. is my choice.
I love the Falkland "Cherry Blossoms" top
Oh, lovely shop! I really love the handspun, especially the subtle colouring of the Frosting worsted weight.

Wish I had the courage (and well, let's be honest, the means!) to take on one of her Art Yarn Jumble kits. They're fantastic! Great shop all around!
Volturi is my favorite i think, so hard to choose, i also really like the "my berry stained lips"
tweeted @claymuse as well
I love the Mermaid buns...and the sample I got from her in June's box is fabulous! I cannot wait to spin it!
The Amazonia mulberry silk is GORGEOUS!
Maybe not a very exciting choice, but I love the natural silk cocoons. I have been wanting to try some of these!
I am in love with the Cherry Blossom roving. Pink and brown is my favorite color combo of the moment. I think I got paid this week, so it may be making its way to my doorstep soon!
I love the pink and brown Falkland top cherry blossom roving.
The Falkland cheery blossoms top & the pencil roving in any color are just gorgeous!
Sherbert is yummy!
Her hand dyed silk cocoons are beautiful. The colors are so vivid. I also love the kettle dyed superwash sock yarn in the Serenity colorway. Just lovely.
Her little sheep mascot is cute too. I wonder what his/her name is??
I think the fact that she sells actual silk cocoons is awesome! But I really like the sock yarn Rosie. The colors in Serenity really jump out at me, but I feel that Rosie will knit up beautifully.

The Alight and Angelfish colorways are wonderful!
