my xl feature ad this month is the lovely melissa from wild faerie caps. a stay-at-home, eco-minded, un/homeschooling mother of three little boys, melissa blogs here and has a etsy shop full of beautiful handspun yarn, as well as the sweetest little dolls.
melissa is offering up for one lucky winner two one-of-a-kind hanks of hand-dyed, handspun, 3-ply (also called chain or Navajo plied) yarn – “Handspun in Sunset”.
the yarn is 100% Corriedale wool. Looking at this yarn makes me think of early mornings when the sun has just risen and everything seems full of possibility. Nestled in the orange tones are some hints of yellow and pink.
Weight: approximately 67 grams (divided 36/31 between the two hanks)
Yardage: approximately 43.5 yards (divided 27/16.5 between the two hanks)
I just taught myself to knit & would love to have such beautiful yarn to do a little project {maybe a collar or little cap?} http://aclosetintellectual.blogspot.com/
since i just started crocheting this month i’m not absolutely sure yet what i’d do with the yarn, but if it is as soft as it looks it might be something for my baby niece!

October 29, 2012 at 12:18I’d probably incorporate the yarn into my next blanket project–the colors work perfectly into my in-the-process-of-redecorating bedroom :)
