Tails and Snouts Handspun giveaway!






I'm so delighted to be featuring the cutest shop ever today on the blog! Tails&Snouts! I think I am going to file this under "cuteness" instead of "yarn and fiber supplies" in my bookmarks. I don't know how people can knit toys and sell them- I would not be able to part with them!

Elizabeth did something really sweet, and she spun this gorgeous, colorful yarn from her Dec/Jan contributor boxes and is giving it away here to one of you! All you need do to enter, is visit Tails&Snouts and write in the comments section what you would like to own of the offerings there.

    Her toys are adorable! But I have the opposite problem from you - I love knitting cute little things, but have no idea what to do with them when I'm finished. I may need to look into selling them on etsy...

    My favorite thing in her shop, tho, isn't a toy. It's the merino silk fingering weight yarn in the Tropical Seas colorway. She really captured the feel of a tropical sea and I would so like to be somewhere tropical.

    Pinned and tweeted too.

    Wow! So many nice things! It is very hard to choose a favorite. In handpainted yarn I like Handpainted Worsted Weight Superwash Merino Yarn- Dove. In roving and fiber, I like Handpainted Superwash Merino Roving- Enchantress.

    I think the real question is what would I not want to own from that shop? Bumblebee roving is standing out to me as a bumblebee was my first tattoo. Very close to me.

    What I don't want from her shop might be a shorter list... But I finally settled on a favorite and that is the hand spun/hand dyed bubblegum pink bamboo. Living in Texas, I lean toward plant fibers over animal fibers due to the climate. I make exceptions all the time, but I always look at cotton, linen and bamboo first.

    I absolutely love the Olive Green Handknit Frog Toy (my husband's a frog collector, real and non-real), but if I had to choose a yarn, it would definitely be the Handpainted Fingering Weight Superwash Merino Nylon Sock Yarn in Merry-Go-Round, which would make an awesome shawl!
