Funhouse Fibers Fun & Fancy Sparkle Yarn Giveaway!


Just when you thought Funhouse Fibers couldn't get any Funner... Miki adds a sparkle sock yarn to the mix!!! You all know my penchant for shiny and sparkly things and so my heart goes beat beat when I see this. I have to say though, the sparkle is not over the top at all and you would be able to wear your finished socks around and you wouldn't look odd :)

This particular hand painted "Fun & Fancy" Sparkle Sock (75% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon, 5% stellina) is the most gorgeous cobalt blue color called "Party in the Tardis" and is a mighty generous 438 yards!

We're giving away this beautiful skein today, find something you love in the Funhouse Fibers Shop, and let us all know about it in the comments section. We will award extra entries to those who twitter/facebook/plurk/ravelate about this too!
