PerchanceToSpin's Shop Announcement

...time to be relaxing by a fire with a mug of something hot and your project in your lap...creating something, perhaps with some handspun yarn?

11/23/09: Coming shortly!

Spinning has been my comfort, delight, my peace, ever since I first learned to twist a spindle. Now, with two wheels and scads of spindles, I've accrued lots and lots of handspun yarns. According to my daughter-in-law I *cannot* keep them all, forever. (I would, you know.) She says I need to share them, to get them in the shop for others to knit with and enjoy.

Handspun yarn has a reputation for being a little pricey and rightfully so. Creating it can be expensive, moreso if the fiber has been purchased already handdyed; the time input can be substantial.

But I'll do my best to keep the prices on my handspun yarn as reasonable as possible so that anyone who wants to try knitting with a skein of it can afford it. Occasionally a skein might be so expensive to produce that the price will naturally be higher. But I *love* my handspun yarns and want you to be able to, as well.

Thanks for stopping by. Convo me with any questions!
