For the Love of Yarn

I am here to confess my love affair with yarn. I can get lost for HOURS, yes hours, on Etsy looking at yarn... Handdyed, Handspun, Recycled... yarn. The colors! The textures! The possibilities!

I have happily purchased from Evergreen Creations, CRAFTY, and play at life fiber arts. My favorites are filled with listings of yarn. I am constantly window shopping. Do you share this love of yarn? Have a favorite that I haven't listed? Please! Leave a comment and let me know.

And if you haven't seen these previous posts, take a look...

    I love yarn also...like to feel of all the different textures...but I don't do anything with yarn...just look and feel.

    We have a lot of the same favorite sellers. I love yarn. I have a drop spindle and have been working on making my own, but I don't think that will stop the addiction. :)
