Cool Climates Giveaway!




Fiber Artist Rachel Suntop, has sent in some amazing handspun samples over the months, but I especially love the beaded ones! They are truly little works of art, and more are to be had in her shop: Cool Climates

My favorite yarn she has in her shop right now is the Chinese Lanterns yarn. The colors are just so painterly and beautiful and it may just be the yarn manifestation of autumn!

Rachel has been doing a very neat "yarn of the day" special in her shop where she features one yarn at a discount. What a great opportunity to get gorgeous art yarn on sale!

We're giving away this set of beautiful felted coasters to a lucky commenter. Just visit Cool Climates, find something you like, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a name this weekend! Remember to help spread the word about Cool Climates using your social networking skills! We'll count your pings on facebook, twitter, ravelry and your blog as extra entries in the contest- just let us know you did it.

Rachel, I truly love your conceptual yarn! Your passion about your work shines through!

    Her yarn is very lovely and it was hard to pick a favorite. I think Blue Lagoon is simply amazing though and I liked her story about how it was inspired!
