Spinning a Yarn Silk Giveaway!

Do you remember the "storm in a teacup" sample from this month's videos? It was from a New Zealand Phattie, Jessicah of Spinning a Yarn. I loved the wool version, but the silk version of this colorway just blows it away, doesn't it?

I am quite excited about the other silk options Jessicah has in her shop, like the luxurious silk yarns!

Please visit Spinning a Yarn today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be giving away this beautiful storm in a teacup tussah silk later in the week. Twittering, fb'ing, plurking and ravelling will net you extra entries, just let us know you did it!
