Friends in Fiber Cheeky Fairy Yarn Giveaway!



A new phat shop for you to explore!!! Jan and Peg and Friends in Fiber and live by the motto "Spin Free or Dye"! Isn't that the cutest thing you've heard in a long time?! When I visit the Friends in Fiber shop, I can see they're having fun with what they do. It's so nice to support folks who truly love what they do and create with joy.

pssst! They just listed some really beautiful lavender wands too! I'm so tempted by these, even though I have lots of homegrown lavender here :)

Today we're giving away this beautifully spun "Cheeky Fairies" yarn spun by Peg. It's a beautiful jewel-tone corriedale with just a hint of sparkle here and there. I keep picturing this knit up as mittens or gloves. Please visit Friends in Fiber, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a name tomorrow, so be quick! Make sure you use twitter, facebook, plurk and ravelry to spread the good word about this adorable shop- we'll count that as an extra entry if you do.
