Merlot, Wool and Bamboo Handspun Yarn $22

I will fully admit, that I don't know a darn thing about yarn, but I sure do know that it's soft and cuddly, and that Theresa from HooksandEyes, has some fabulous yarn!

When I asked her to tell me a little bit about herself, this is what she had to say:

"I learned to crochet from my grandmother as a little girl, but I didn't really get into crochet until about 6 years ago when my little girl was born. I wanted to make beautiful baby things for her. After awhile I began to admire some of the beautiful yarns available. I found a fiber community at Craftster and was bit by the bug to learn how to spin my own beautiful yarns. My darling husband gave me a learn to spin kit one Christmas so I sat down and taught myself to spin based on reading and photographs. I made some very lumpy natural colored wool yarn which became a scarf for my husband. I am totally embarrassed yet completely pleased with that funny looking scarf. After about 3 months of spindle spinning I got my first wheel and I’ve been spinning like a mad woman ever since."

Reflecting Pool Handspun Bamboo Yarn $30.25

And doing a fabulous job of it at that! While browsing through her shop, my eyes were practically popping out of my head with all the beautiful colors and textures they saw there.

I have to say that I think this one is my favorite! Absolutely stunning.
