I woke up this morning to a beautiful, thick fog rolling down my street! What a perfect day to feature one of our Phatties from London, Sheepshape Spinning!

Elizabeth has a lovely colorful shop with whimsical knitted animals, brightly colored roving, delicious handspun and mill spun yarns.

The lovely Elizabeth has offered up a hand sewn project bag and a $10 gift certificate to her shop for a giveaway. Should you be the winner of this giveaway, Elizabeth has a special coupon offer for you. Please visit SheepShape Spinning and find something you like, write about it in the comments section below and we'll draw your name tomorrow. Be sure and tweet and facebook about this for extra entries!

Thank you, Elizabeth for sharing your mint chocolate fudge handspun yarn this month, it was spectacular!

    Oh dear. I'm a total sucker for anything that glows in the dark. Handspun? That glows in the dark? and alpaca? Holy moly. Cool stuff.

    Good morning.

    I must admit, the "knitted sheep toy, child-safe, Corriedale and Merino handspun" is adorable. I can also think of the perfect person to give " Melon Boat roving for spinning, 113.1 g (3.99 oz), Shetland fibre" to.

    Very lovely.

    The handspun Alpaca looks like it would be lovely to roll around in for an hour or so... Actually all the handspun looks edible! My eyes keep getting drawn to the Sea Green! It's gorgeous!

    I really love her little knitted animals, especially the little pocket sheep. I got a nice sample of her handspun one month, but sadly, not the glow in the dark. I also really like the sour apple, very berry, and autumn leaves rovings - what beautiful colors!

    I actually have some of her handspun glow-in-the-dark yarn and it is amazing. I haven't decided what I'm going to knit yet, but I'm thinking something to wear while walking my dogs in the winter. And her pocket sheep are also amazing...I'm getting one for all the knitters for Christmas. Alright, on to what I am lusting after now... strawberry banana roving. Wow. Beautiful.

    The Lincoln fiber in the 2 shades of blue is lovely - although you already suckered me into buying silk from xtreme spinning today - I couldn't resist it.

    Aww ... it's not yarn/fiber, but the first item looking at me on their page was the Little mouse crocheted from handspun. I love mice!
