Have you visited Seven Yaks lately? There are some 15 pages full of yarnie and fibery wonderfulness!
Lynne has been busy recovering from an appearance at the Great Lakes Fiber show and will be listing some items that made it home with her soon!
I recently stocked up on some knitting needles and a spinning diz and it must have made it's way to the bottom of my fiber bin- I haven't had a chance to use it and I'm waiting for my stash bin to cough it back up. You wouldn't know anyone else with stash problems, would you? *wink*
Seven Yaks sent in the most beautiful fuchsia colored cashmere noils in the May box! So soft, it made me want to go buy a drum carder!
We're starting the weekend off right, and giving away both a beautiful Seven Yaks art batt and a fantastic diz/wpi gauge tool! I live in a college town, and our weekends begin on Thursdays :D Remember- all the really smart college kids juggled their class schedules to have Fridays off?

Mmmkay! Everyone visit the lovely Seven Yaks shop, and find something you like. Write about that something in the comments section below. I will randomly (as in random.org) select a lucky commenter on Monday to win this awesome batt and diz tool! All of you awesome folks who twitter, plurk, facebook and blog about this giveaway will get extra entries!
Lynne, you're just wonderful- you know that? Keep up the awesome work!

Loving the cashmere noils - is there anything better than pink + green + cashmere?!?

Cashmere noils sound awesome! I've spun with silk noils and thought they added super cool texture, so I can only imagine cashmere would be similarly fun.
Also intrigued by the tunisian crochet hooks. I have to admit I've been keen on trying tunisian crochet since I've seen some awesome projects on Ravelry.
I absolutely love the roving in color "Aster" - I have a thing for pinks, purples, roses... anything girly and this is certainly girly. It would look great spun up!
I was lucky enough to get a Seven Yaks diz in a phatfibe box, LOVE(10000) It's the only one I use now!
Wow! The blue and white bead stitch markers are beautiful! I'm lusting and I don't really even use stitch markers!
I have loved the snowflake knitting needle gauge for a while. I will have to order....
My hubby bought me 2 sizes of 7 Yaks sock blockers for my birthday! I love them...they aren't wood, so it doesnt matter if the socks are damp. Plus, they were "oopsies", so he got a fabulous deal! At the time I was super in love with the snowflake needle guages and...well...everything! It's a beautiful shop!
I love the awesome needle gauges and WPI tools, so fun!
the wool roving in peacock looks awesome, but so does the cashmere noils!! im sure my cats though would love the felted toys!!haha thanx for showing us a great shop!!
Everything there is covet-worthy!
I love the bamboo tunisians (I'm really into tunisian lately), and the cashmere noils? Yummy... I can see myself recombing that and blending it with some Cormo a friend RAK'd me.
Good stuff!

I've always thought her diz and needle gauge selections are wonderful! The heart shaped one is my favorite. I also like the rovings sold in smaller sizes and mix and match packs for felting or 4oz sizes for spinning. If I ever get a drum carder, I may have to try some of those cashmere noils too!
Wow! I love not one, but three things at this shop. Who could resist cashmere noils? And the WPI/Diz combo is adorable. Finally, the "Spinning is my Alchemy" plaque would be perfect for my craft room.
Since I am just learning to spin and also just found out what a diz does, I like the diz's! Ingenious!
I love the heart shaped needle gauge
I like a lot of stuff in her shop, but the cashmere noils look very interesting. Must put those on my list of stuff to try.

Wow...the Chianti wool is such a gorgeous color!!
I think the Shawl pins are cute!
I added her sock blockers to my faves and will get them after payday.
Cashmere noils....drool!
The shawl pins are great and the colors of roving are beautiful!!
pink heart diz! I may have to get one now!
She is the only person I know who sells cashmere! Thats my fave part.
The cashmere looks like it would be fun to play with. The spinning tools are also impressive.
What?! Find something you like?!? How about one of each! The vibrant roving colors are to dye for!! Especially the marigold. I love the whimsy of the snowflake gauge tool and the diz with the Yaks logo is fab! amy in ne
Sock blockers! As one who knits socks by the dozens, sock blockers are always high on my list of finds.
They are completely irrelevant to any projects I am working on but the Lampwork Glass Beads are stunning.
Love those pink and green cashmere noils...perfect color combo! Love the peruvian merino hanspu, looks so squishy!

Oh my... so many beautiful things. I have to say the sock blockers and needle gauges are my favorite, but who wouldn't love the cashmere fibre too?
I hardly know where to start I love the colrs, the spck blockers, the geisha shawl pin i will be shopping there
I love her stuff! I'm using a heart shaped diz that I've gotten from the box, and gave another one to a friend!
I've been wanting to try her roving, but haven't had a chance yet, maybe soon!
That batt is gorgeous too!
I am absolutely stunned by the green roving she has in her store. Awesome!
i love love love the cute little heart shaped diz!
I love the blue lampwork button!

I love the snowflake knitting needle gauge - wouldn't that make a great stocking stuffer? :)

I will have to agree with everyone on the cashmere noils this time. The Mix and Match roving sounds like a great idea for beginners like myself.
I did dip slightly into my pocket and bought a pair of circular needles, but I needed them, you understand. . . right?
I blogged about this giveaway to make up for my indiscretion. Hee!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Shawl pin - Black Floral ... its so lovely!! :)

I love the wool roving in russet.
very cool yak! Love that fiber
I like the "Chianti" roving.
I love the stitch markers, the dog & butterfly ones are adorable! Wish I could spin, the fibers look yummy!
I love the Lampwork Glass Bead - Orange Cube. It is super cute!!!
I love the cashmere noils, but I'll pick the heart-shaped gauge as my favorite -- it's just so cute and clever!
I love the cashmere noils fiber and some of the lampwork glass beads the best. I also think it's really cool that there is such variety in the shop including beads, yarns, fiber, ceramics, tools, accessories, etc. An impressive collection!
i am in love with the shawl pins...all of them!!! i want all of them...ok, i'll lock on the roses one...the design and colors are so delecate and bright against the black. i had to mark this site as a fav. now if she only had more of that roving spun up for me who does not spin, i would be such a happy camper!
love the kitty toy kits! anytime someone has thought things through for me, i love it!
blogged!
The thread winders are great for storing bits of singles or test yarns in an organized way. And, they look cool!
I got some of the pink cashmere noil in my Phat box this past month, and it's really lovely. I think I'd be tempted to go for the natural if I were to make a purchase, though-- better for blending.

I don't even know where to begin,there are so many fantastic things in this shop! I need to pick up a diz/wpi gauge, and the tools at Seven Yaks are the most creative and whimsical I've ever seen. I was enjoying looking at the tools ... when I noticed the Amphora Vessel lampwork bead.
I know I'm a geeky science teacher, but I also have a background in Art History, so I'm qualified to say this: That is one awesome bead!

I love the lampwork beads and the chianti roving!
I absolutely love the knitting door hangers! They are so cute! ^_^

Ooohing and ahhing over the sock blockers and the needle gauges...think I need a needle gauge, but I need to decide between the octagon and the heart shapes!
The wool roving - Iris really caught my eye. It looks like it would spin up into some really great yarn!

Her Merino & silk yarn just looks heavenly. I'd love to dye that up.
Her cashmere noils are awesome! I got some in my last phat box and just love it. I also love her sock blockers, diz and her wpi guide.
I love the cashmere noil! I'm trying to save up to buy the undyed noil so I can play....
I have every size of the Tunisian crochet hooks and I love them. The are a great length and the yarn slides over them perfectly. They are easy on the hands. I would love to get some sock blockers next.
I love the pink and green cashmere noils!
Only one thing? Oh, dear.
I really need the spinning wall plaque. *counts days until payday*
But the knitting one may need to keep it company...and the cats do need more toys..
Oh boy, wouldn't any one of the Cashmere Noils be fun to play with!! Great shop!
I love the heart shaped diz so much I just bought one!
That combo WPI gauge and diz is pretty nifty, though I like the sock blockers too.
All these wool rovings are so beautiful! The colors are just great! Awesome saturation on all the colors, but my favorite is the Aster - just amazing!

The bejeweled and bedazzled stitch markers are awesome. You can never have too many stitch markers
My favorites are the snowflake needle gauges and the "Spinning is my Alchemy" sign. I love the variety of items available in the shop, too.
I just love the bluegrass roving...is it blue? Is it green? It's enchanting.
The Pink & Green Cashmere noil looks like it would be fun to play with! I also really like the pink heart diz :)
I am in love with those gorgeous lampwork buttons and have been for a while. They might be just the ticket on my Feb Lady.
I love her Impatiens yarn!

I LOVE the lace weight yarn in the Summer in Cloudcroft color way!!!
