THIS. :D
Raxor's Etsy shop is just full of gorgeous space-dyed merino, tussah silk, and mulberry silk, and a whole bunch of silk yarn for the knitters too!

Spin, Span, Spun
I love Polwarth. Not as much as I love My BFL (TM), but it's a really nice spin. This is some Blue Moon handpainted that I bought at Rhinebeck a couple of years ago, 9.5 ounces...The colorway is...erm...the colorway is handwritten on the label, and a little bit illegible. I think it says "Sock Gabe DHD"...At least that's what it looks like? :/
But it's SO FREAKIN' PRETTY. I admit it, I squeed a little bit when I saw it.
The colors aren't photographing very well; it's a little bit more muted than this picture seems to show, but you get the idea...
And here it is plied into a nice sock weight...Since it was almost 10 ounces, I should get a whole lotta yardage out of this!

OK, so I was all ready to start gushing over this bit of BFL, since it's my favorite fiber, and it's all green and teal and mint and evergreen and YUMMY...
But then I clicked on the main part of Edgewood Garden Studio's Etsy shop, and Oh Em Eff Gee. Go look at her huge selection of handspun. Exquisite handspun. Glorious handspun. Incredible handspun! If I could spin like this lady, I would die a happy woman! OK, go look at it, I will wait here.
AMIRITE?
I also love the very complete descriptions for each of her items, with extra info about the fiber animal, as well as specific information about the handspun itself. Impressive! This shop is definitely going to become one of my Etsy favorites. :D

OK, purple is my favorite color, so how could I resist this?
I mean, LOOK AT IT. :D
Fiber Artemis' Etsy shop is just chock full of beautiful, muted colors: silk hankies, Polwarth, merino, Corriedale, mulberry silk, roving with all sorts of different blends...ZOMGS! There's even some of her own handspun, if you're not a spinner, and extra bits and pieces for your own yarn if you're one of those lucky souls with a drum carder.
Oh man...I just saw that she's got a Batt Club too...It might be time to put
my credit card in the freezer in case I completely lose control... ;)
