I Love Etsy

I was recently lured on to Etsy by a cunningly-placed set of links. I'm pretty sure it was Leila's fault originally.

In any case, I had a wee shopping spree.

From Ruby's Daughter:

Colonial wool in beutiful blues, greens, and lavenders.


Tussah silk that looks like a candle flame.

She also sent along a little sample of her merino/silk blend, and since she's local, we talked about meeting up at one of the spinning groups.

I started spinning the Colonial wool the day it arrived:

Doesn't it look like a mermaid? You know, if she'd been separated into fibers and twisted and wound around a bobbin?

From Funky Carolina:

Blue-Faced Leicester


Blue-Faced Leicester


Merino/Tencel Blend


Corriedale

All of hers came with a cute tag, and she included a cute 100% soy jar candle as a "thanks for yor impulsive spending" gift.
