Ooooh pretty!! Lampyridae has dyed some sock yarn inspired by William Holman Hunt's depiction of "The Lady of Shalott" I also particularly love how in the painting she's all tangled up in yarn! This is truly some pretty yarn, Lampy! You'll see this and her beautiful stitch markers in this month's sampler box.
Lampyridae also has some beautiful lace-weight yarn in her shop right now- I am really tempted by the cornflower one! Lampyridae must also be the first shop I've seen with a MOVIE sock club where you get the movie and the sock yarn + extras.
We're giving away this beautiful sock yarn skein (400 yards superwash merino) to a lucky commenter. Just visit Lampyridae, find something you like, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll chose from those comments later in the week to draw a winner. Get extra comments by twittering/facebooking/plurking/ravelating about this giveaway!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful yarn with us, Lampy!

Lovely colors! The tree frog and burgundy sock yarns are both so yummy, I cant choose :) TFS!
Ooohhh....such pretty yarns! I love everything, but the batts based on Master Paintings are so lovely!
love the Polish Pottery Inspired yarn. My favorite shade of blue.
I really like the Superwash Merino Wool Fiber Roving Hand-painted 4 ounces Lampetis drummondi - greens and blues always get me :)
*gasp*
The Lady of Shalott is my favorite poem ever. One of my favorite THINGS ever. I have been known to make kissy faces at the Tennyson portrait in the National Portrait Gallery. And the Hunt painting... *swoooooon* Art history majors ftw!!!
So yeah. This one IS my favorite. The sock weight AND the fingering weight. I want them both. Lots of them. Now. :DDD
Eep, almost forgot. RTed @millarca!
The Polish Pottery blue lace is simply gorgeous! Alpaca, cashmere and silk should feel heavenly.
I really do love all the colors in the Lady of Shalott but if I had to choose a different one it would be the tree frog with all those wonderful greens. I'm a sucker for the greens.
Oh my goodnes! I love PUSHING DAISIES Inspired Sock Yarn - Olive Snook Bakes a Pie!!!! First of all, my 16yo daughter (who knits) and I NEVER missed this show! (How COULD they cancel it???) And Olive was my favorite, so I really think I NEED this yarn in tribute, such lovely pie making singing goodness. Liz

I find Fingering Weight 400 yards - 100 gr - merino two ply yarn Robin Nest to be absolutely stunning! Would love to see it knit up!
Love the Tree frog! What a great vibrant green.
The Lady of Shalot yarn that is being given away is INCREDIBLE. So very springlike and happy. Love it!
Try this one out for size: Graphocephala atropunctata or Blue-green sharpshooter insect inspired fiber batt 2 ounces for spinning. First, the name is way to cool. SEcond, you have got to read the story behind this "boozer" and third, this is gorgeous fiber. ;p
They're all BEAUTIFUL! I especially love the Lepidoptera Lace Cornflower and the Tree Frog and... :-)
Wow - those are pretty, but my favorite in her store is definitely the cornflower laceweight. Beautiful.
(beautyredefined on ravelry).
Oh my gosh! Robin Nest went into my favorites IMMEDIATELY! It's beautiful!
Love the varying shades in her burgundy sock yarn ohhhh so pretty!!!

Movie & Yarn what a great idea - I love CLUE too! Great stitchmarkers in the shop too. Thanks for the introduction.

The Lady of Shalott is so colorful and springy looking. I love the turquoise butterfly stitch markers.
If I concentrate on the yarn, I would say the Judith Leyster inspired Fingering Weight yarn, which is a superwash merino. Or the Wine and Roses Lace weitght, a pretty irresistible alpaca/cashmere/silk blend.
the whine and rose is gordeous
Love the burgundy fingering weight yarn, such a nice rich color :) :)

Wine and Roses Lace Wt Yarn. so pretty.
I love those Stitch Diva stitch markers...especially in blue.
The Lady of Shalott Fiber Bat is incredibly beautiful! I just learned to spin and that's making me drool!
These are some of the prettiest things I've seen, although "bugs" are not my favorite "guys" I have to agree that their colors are spectactular at times. The Lepidoptera Lace Cornflower Lace weight yarn really caught my eye.
That Robin's Nest fingering weight would make a beautiful shawl - such pretty colors!
You are right about the painting - loved it! As for the yarns, so many beautiful colors. *sighs* If it is not the Lady of Shalot, then it is Robin nest. Simply beautiful!
Gorgeous! I really like the The Lady of Shalott inspiration Master Painters Series Skein of Yarn. The colors are just so pretty. :)
Oh, my! The Robin's Nest merino has my name all over it! Lovely.

I like the Polish Pottery inspired yarn because of the inspirational object.
I love the tree frog fingering, it's so vivid!
I love that we get to see the inspirations for the colorways along with the yarn or batts. I think this Fingering Weight 400 yards - 100 gr - merino two ply yarn Robin Nest is charming.
I just fell for Wine and Roses Lace Wt Yarn, Alpaca, Cashmere, and Silk blend
I love her ideas for dying. I had to favorite the shop I know where my next paycheck is going. I love the Lady of Shalott batt but I also am crazy about the Pushing Daisies fiber that is cherry ala mode I have made pies, I wish it was as pretty as that.
Love just about everything on your site, but I really love the stitch markers and the robins nest colorway.

The fingering weight Robin's Nest is really pretty!
Morpho godarti inspired Lampyridae Lace weight yarn - Cashmere luxury is lovely!
Oh, the Tree Frog fingering weight yarn is gorgeous and would add some color to this loooong winter!
It was hard to decide which was my favourite. I love green, so I'll have to say Robin nest and the frog ones are very very pretty.

My fave is your Lampetis drummondi roving! The colors are gorgeous together!
The lepidoptra cornflower blue and yellow yarn--some artists just have a way with color! It reminds me of blue skies and yellow field flowers, so gorgeous!
I want the "Movie and Yarn Combo, CLUE with 400 yards (100 gr) super soft 2-ply SOCK yarn and Stitch Markers". I mean I really really want this, super duper bad!

I agree that there are absolutely too many gorgeous colors to pick from but if I had to choose..I'd go with the one you posted about, the lady of shalot.

Ooh, it's all so pretty! I love the blue of the Polish pottery-inspired laceweight.
Wow. It's difficult to pick just one! I think I like the Tree Frog fingering weight yarn the best but that's only because green is my favorite color. LOL!
I like the "Judith Leyster inspired Fingering Weight yarn 100 gr - 400 yards Superwash Merino two ply" yarn. Absolutely beautiful shades of pink in it! Thanks for the contest!

Love the Graphocephala atropunctata. Recycled soda pop fiber? I need to research that.
I love the Stitch Markers! They're so cute. Much nicer than the paperclips I use now.
I love it all, but was immediately attracted to the Tree Frog Inspired Fingering Weight Yarn, OMG, the color!!! Of course, I've been feeling lately like I could use some new stitch markers, small thing, I know, but these might be just the ones too.
I think it would be impossible to find something I didn't like there!I think I especially like the Morpho godarti inspired yarn and the Cornflower lace yarn.
Definitely Graphocephala atropunctata fbier batt and Judith Leyster fingering yarn.
I got one of the Movie/yarn combos. Hope I get the pretty fowl!

Polish Pottery is an absolutely diving shade of blue! Amazing.
Just purchased some of the lace yarn in Luna Moth green, but that Cornflower blue was awfully tempting! But as as art historian i am attracted to all the colorways...
I adore the Pre-Raphaelites, so the "Lady of Shalott" batt is my clear favorite.
And I plurked about it :)
