30% off Batts! Today Only!

There are lots of yummy batts in the Etsy Store and right now they are 30% off!!   (This applies to regularly priced batts only)  Hurry they are on sale for today only.

There has been another update also. 

(starting from left top corner)

Shimmer is a set of coordinating batts and weighs 3.8 ounces total.

Sugar and Spice weighs 2 ounces and contains some yummy bamboo (among others).

On The Farm is a sentimental favorite.  It contains Cormo from my colored Cormo cross, Leah.

Christmas Candy Farm Fresh Soap smells just like peppermint candy, but don’t eat it!  

Stash Busting!

I have found the perfect pattern for stash busting my smallish skeins of handspun!   WabiSabi Mitts are knitted flat then seamed but the beauty of it is that you knit two at a time and then stop when you run out of yarn!   I love it!

Please note if you search for them on Ravelry use WabiSabiMitts.  It won’t show up if you put in spaces.

I have also been knitting the multi-directional scarf like crazy!  It is another great stash buster.

These patterns work great for phatfiber samples!  I spin them all together either after blending them into a batt or spinning each separately into one yarn.   It make a great funky mitt or scarf.

This is a set of warmies I am making for my daughter using the WabiSabi Mitts, The multi-directional scarf (knitted more narrow for use as a headband) and little cowl. (I will have to look up the name for that one)

As you can see on the top of the mitts I used the left over handspun I had from the last mitts (I was foolishly hoping to get two pairs out of one skein) and finished the mitts using my phatfiber sample yarn.

Here is a close up of the yarn.  How fun and funky is that?

What’s new?

I am busy adding a few new yarns to the shop :)

Scarecrow is the second in my Wizard of Oz series.  

This is the last skein I have left of The Wandering Shepherdess (a full sized version of a phatfiber sample from ages ago).

Water is a beautiful yarn.  60% Merino, 40% Silk and 540 yards per skein.  I have three skeins available, enough to make a beautiful sweater.  It is sweater season you know!

I have been working steadily on December’s Phatfiber Box.  The theme is Music Box and two of my favorite musicals are My Fair Lady and Phantom of the Opera.   I am working on colorways to represent them both.

This colorway is I Could Have Danced All Night, which is my favorite song in the movie!
