Big announcement! Extreme Spinning has changed names to Maine Cottage Creations! Under their new name, CJ and her husband Brian will be offering up more than just fiber and yarn- starting with gorgeous hand crafted shawl pins/hairsticks! Some of you received a lucky stick in your box. I had to order one for myself it was so enchanting to hold them in my hands!
Yesterday, Maine Cottage Creations introduced new wooden yarn bowls to the shop. I am trying to figure a way to let Marcus know I would really enjoy getting one for Valentine's Day :) There is talk of listing more soon, so we may have lots to choose from shortly!
We're giving away this gorgeous 50/50 Merino/Silk brick in "Wedding Dress" today! Please visit Maine Cottage Creations, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We will be counting social networking pings, facebook, twitter, plurk (I pinned something from this shop just yesterday on Pinterest!) as extra entries.
I've got my eye on that Aran weight Romney...
ReplyDeleteThe Gothic Handspun Art Yarn looks like a ton of fun :)
ReplyDeletefb'ed and tweeted.
I adore the new bowls! And I know this merino/silk blend is incredible, as CJ's special dyeing some more for me :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm really digging her tailspun yarns lately!
I like the Red Roses XSive Art Batt. I think it would be really fun to try corespinning that!

ReplyDeleteCJ (and Mr. CJ!) have such beautiful things. The new yarn bowls are gorgeous, on of the shawl pins is already on its way to me (but another would always find a home!), but I really have my eye on the
ReplyDeleteWool Silk Spinning Batt 'AU NATURALE' Brown and Cream Finn, Cashmere, Cormo, Merino, Shetland, Romney Lamb, Silk, Milk Fiber. This one is calling to me...

ReplyDeleteoooh what a lovely store. I think I would covet the milk-protein spinning wool...I love milk protein!
ReplyDeleteTWEETED!
Besides the bowl and shawlpins, I'm loving the organic merino in hydrangea. Gorgeous stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love the simple hair stick/shawl pins. I doubt my hair is long enough now, but I used to hold it up with a pen when I was working. A pretty stick would be so much more grown-up.
ReplyDeleteUm, I'm seriously in love with the tail-spun blue and gold yarn!!!
ReplyDeleteJess
Loving the "Pure Love" merino/silk top!
ReplyDeletemust be that time of year. Velvet valentine is a great colorway
ReplyDeleteFeeling red today - I love Heart Me and Velvet Valentine
ReplyDeleteI could do with some RED ROSES right now ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am sure one of those beautiful yarn bowls has my name on it...so very unique to what we usually see in yarn bowls!
ReplyDeleteAndi W
Oh, I can't wait to see all the beautiful carved wood as well! And I love her merino/silk blends; the Citrus combed top/brick looks lovely
ReplyDeleteLove the Au Naturale batts!
ReplyDeleteI find myself needing bright colors to spin this winter - so the CITRUS merino/silk is really speaking to me! I also like the DA SEA merino. What can I say, I'm a greens & blues kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking through all of them and I still think my favorite is the silk/merino brick in Wedding Dress. Would love to spin it up to make a shawl for my wedding day this summer :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the XSive Art Batt 3.9 oz HEART ME Sparkle Textured Batt in Red, Green, Pink.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lordy. How much do I want that natural batt of mixed fibers? ("Au Naturale")
ReplyDeleteSilk, wool, dark, light....
AMAZEBALLS.
I would take the organic merino in turqois, blue and green and card it with the milk fiber in the same colorway. That would be a fantastic scarf, wrap, etc. Yummy!!!

I love, love the hand carved shawl pin sticks and the hand carved wood yarn bowl!
ReplyDeleteLoving the blue and green organic merino fiber.
ReplyDeleteI like the Red Roses XSive batt - actually, I like ALL the XSIve batts!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the Tiptoe through the Tulips milk fiber. Gorgeous colors! Becca2
ReplyDeleteI like their shop. That wedding dress sample I got was divine, I would love a full size. I was also thinking today that a new cutting board would be nice. A fiber shop that sells cutting boards? Amazing. Pinning counts? Really?!
ReplyDeleteI want the Heart Me batt! How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the intensity of the HEART ME XSive Art Batt
ReplyDeleteI like the shawl pins. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the XSive Art Batts-ALL of them. but what strikes me as a unique find is this:

ReplyDeleteOh, I adore the Hand Carved Wood Yarn Bowl 6 x 4 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches MAINE GREEN ASH!
ReplyDeleteThe Au naturale Wool Silk Spinning batt with like a zillion different fibers in it seems like it would be quite an interesting spin.
ReplyDeleteI adore the bowls and crave the XS batt, but broke the fiber diet to order the brick of "Wedding Dress" to make a wedding shawl for my future daughter-in-law. My son is getting married this fall and I have been looking for just the right yarn to knit her a shawl. When I saw the fiber here, I thought, if I am lucky enough to win the give-away I will make a bigger shawl, but if not, I had better order while there is some there!
ReplyDeleteEverything in the shop is drool-worthy, but the bowl is definitely my new favorite!
ReplyDeleteI got a sample of this in my January fluff box; it was AMAZING to spin. Currently on the site, the "Heart Me" batt is just stunning; such a beautiful deep red, and so much sparkle!
ReplyDeleteI love the milk spinning fiber in Tiptoe through the Tulips! I actually almost bought it the other day but something purple jumped in my cart first. :P Next time it'll be mine!
