Thunderhead $18

This is the COOLEST skein of yarn! This is fiber I got from Ashley at Neauveau, it's carded domestic wool. I just picked up a handful and started spinning! Ashley called this fiber Thunderhead, and I truthfully can't think of a better name, so Thunderhead it is! This is 63 yards of soft, super-slubby yarn in vibrant magenta, muted shades of green-grey, purples, greens, rusts, and gold-greens. It really does look like a very angry thundercloud! The picture makes it appear a bit brighter than it really is. Please email me to purchase, or if you'd like me to take a better picture!

Girly Girl $15 - SOLD!

Here's a pretty, feminine skein of yarn. It's called Girly Girl and is 63 yards of 2-ply Romney. It's a blend of bright pink, teal, and purple. It's nice and soft and squishy...and verrrry girly!

Remember, shipping is included in the price. If you're outside of the US, a $5 fee will apply for shipping! Please email me to purchase!

WOO HOO!

Yay! I finally have wireless access for my laptop, so I can update my blogs and still keep an eye on Hurricane (aka the Crazed Toddler!) As soon as I figure it out, I'll get my new photos onto my laptop and then it's go time! I have a few more skeins of yarn to post, which I will try my best to do tomorrow...it looks like I'm not falling down in the woods with no one to hear me, I'm actually getting the occasional comment or email about my yarns, which is SO encouraging! I am spinning up some gorgeous pale pale green and blue merino that I hand-dyed and am so proud of! It's really beautiful, and I think I'm going to list it here instead of with Ashley or MY MY! And keep checking back, because a package of my handspun will be going out to both places by the end of the week! I'm hoping to have yarns for sale on both sites before 2 weeks are up!

Electric Blues $15

This yarn is a lincoln & llama blend, nice and "hairy." It is a bright, vivid blue with splotches of dark plummy purple. There are 43 yards of thick n' thin yarn, with a nice halo from both the lincoln and llama. Please email me with any questions or to purchase!

Rainbow Sherbert $17

A BEAUTIFUL skein of yarn! This yarn is a mix of wool, mohair, angora, silk, and a little angelina for glitz. It's a small skein, 50 yards of a nice, even single-ply, probably worsted weight. Very smooth and lustrous, with a nice halo from the angora/mohair. The colors are a cream background with muted shades of lime green, raspberry, lemon, and orange. Please email me with any questions or to purchase!

Coat of Many Colors $18

Here is another yarn up for sale. It is 100% kettle-dyed romney wool. It is 2-ply, spun very even, about a worsted weight. It is predominantly green with blue, pink, browns, rust, and purples mixed in. It's a very pretty yarn, and the romney is nice and shiny. It measures 135 yards, perfect for a hat or skinny scarf. It is $18. Please email me with any questions or to purchase this yarn.

Twilight at the Beach yarn $34

Here is the first yarn I have for sale. It was listed on my other blog, but I figured I'd move it over here! It is a blend of wool, mohair, silk and angelina, measures 119 yards, and is spun slightly thick and thin. It is pretty much VM free. I am asking $34. Any questions, please email me!

WELCOME TO BLACK CAT HANDSPUN SALES!

Ok, so I've become SO obsessed with selling my handspun yarn (I swear, ever since Ashley at Neauveau told me that a) she was selling my yarns and 2) I'd impressed her - maybe she was just being kind, but let me dream - I have been doing spontaneous happy dances around my house!) that I decided to start a blog just for SELLING my handspun, so it's not clogging up my blog where I just TALK about my handspun, and my spinning friends, and my LOVE of fiber. I LOVE fiber! Let me tell you, I wish I'd known about all things fiber-y when I was in high school, before I decided to go to a liberal arts college for marine biology of all things, or when I was IN college and decided to switch my major to English (you want fries with that?) so I could slog around in low-paying, low-respect, glorified secretarial jobs for 3 years before being laid off from my last full-time job TWO MONTHS before my wedding...and then spend way too much time on unemployment and then even more time earning barely over minimum wage working at a bookstore before temping for years...before having my beautiful daughter and having my wonderful hubby let me stay home with her while we scrimp and live from paycheck to paycheck in a too-small rowhome with a screaming psycho of a neighbor on one side and a screaming mother of 4 pounding elephants (they're not children, they can't be, children don't make THAT much noise, not even FOUR of them!) on the other that make me want to pull my hair out on a regular basis - I wish I'd known that there were people called fiber artists BEFORE all that, so I could have at least ENJOYED what I was doing for the past several years while we lived from paycheck to paycheck!

Ok, sorry about that...man, this blogging thing is liberating! On to the yarns!
