In celebration of Valentine's day, Chinese New Year and my birthday, I'm having a sale. The sale will last through Feb 28 as Chinese New Year last for 15 days. Please see Shop Policies for details on purchase more than $100. Have a great celebration and join me in celebrating my 40th in spirit. I have uploaded photos of new handspun on Flickr.

Updating soon

Just finished watermarking photos of all the handspun yarns. I'll upload them to Flickr tomorrow. The kids had snow days this past 2 days so my schedule is a bit of a topsy turvy. Keep watch on the blog for news of when yarn will be added to Etsy or subscribe to RSS Feed. Also, Marianne added Lilac Kitty (made using French Lilac) to her store. Go over and take a look. See you tomorrow, hopefully. Keep warm.
