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!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh....such pretty yarns! I love everything, but the batts based on Master Paintings are so lovely!
ReplyDeletelove the Polish Pottery Inspired yarn. My favorite shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Superwash Merino Wool Fiber Roving Hand-painted 4 ounces Lampetis drummondi - greens and blues always get me :)
ReplyDelete*gasp*
ReplyDeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteThe Polish Pottery blue lace is simply gorgeous! Alpaca, cashmere and silk should feel heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteOh 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

ReplyDeleteThe Lady of Shalot yarn that is being given away is INCREDIBLE. So very springlike and happy. Love it!
ReplyDeleteTry 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

The Lady of Shalott is so colorful and springy looking. I love the turquoise butterfly stitch markers.
ReplyDeleteIf 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.

Love the Graphocephala atropunctata. Recycled soda pop fiber? I need to research that.
ReplyDeleteI love the Stitch Markers! They're so cute. Much nicer than the paperclips I use now.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

Polish Pottery is an absolutely diving shade of blue! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteJust 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...
ReplyDeleteI adore the Pre-Raphaelites, so the "Lady of Shalott" batt is my clear favorite.
ReplyDeleteAnd I plurked about it :)
