Southern Mystic Zodiac Yarn Giveaway!


Southern Mystic has a beautiful collection of "Zodiac" fibers and yarns. I think it's absolutely wonderful! Pictured above is the "Aries" colorway. I know there are a lot of Aries in our Ravelry group (tons of spring b-days!) And I'm an Aries too!

According to Julie (Southern Mystic) ""Aries" is like a big, well-armed toddler. The most primal and physically powerful of the zodiac, it gets its drive and energy from the planet Mars. Irrepressible, ambitious, outgoing and impulsive, Aries is also the innocent of the zodiac, without the experiences through the ages that have made the other signs more internal and reflective. This can be a positive, as those born under Aries are generally happy, exuberant, optimistic and (perhaps overly) trusting."

We're giving away this gorgeous DK weight yarn (275 yds) today! Just visit Southern Mystic, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a winner later in the week, so please take a moment to Facebook/twitter for extra chances to win!

    Beautiful yarns! In addition to the offering, I just love the Zodiac yarn for Cancer (my sign) or the Eastern Dragon. I had to add her shop to my favorites.

  24. sherryApril 6, 2011 at 11:22 AM

    Yep, Aries here, too.

    Love the dye jobs on just about all the yarns and rovings.

    Though I'm seriously considering those scoured fleeces. They look lovely! Good price, as well, since most of the 'hard work' has been done for you.

    I'm an Aries! At least according to the "old" zodiac. I don't recognize the new one. :) My husband is a Sagittarius, so it's no wonder that I love that colorway! Perhaps more than my own, but I'd be willing to try it! ;)

    Apart from "Everything!" -- just like at the bakery -- the "Playing in the Dyepot" skein is awesome. I'm also interested in the custom spinning of pet fur ... I'm not technically a Crazy Cat Lady (14 is the minimum necessary in Washington), but I do have a beloved kitty .... Count me in!
