Please feel free to share this contest.  :-D

More of my handspun, vegan “faux cashmere” yarn.  I call this one “Flamingo.”

I finally photographed and listed some more of my letterpress gift tags — printed with honest-to-goodness hand-set metal type. 

Just in time for the holiday season to be over — hah!

Text reads, “This is Handspun,” and each tag is backed on handmade paper.

Great for yarn labels, or gifts of finished objects made from handspun yarn.

Faerie-Tale Farm Sanctuary Benefit: I just learned that Faerie Tale Farm is trying to become exclusively a sanctuary/rescue for alpacas, llamas, sheep, and goats.

So, I’ve decided that all proceeds earned from the CompassioKnit Shop between now and the new year will be donated directly to the Fairie-Tale Farm Sanctuary!

Support a good cause, and get a little yarn/fiber for your assistance — or feel free to donate directly.  Thanks, everyone, for looking!

This weekend, I’m running a BOGO special on the Battman Club at CompassioKnit! For every month’s membership that you select, get an additional month free!

Treat yourself each month to a surprise delivery of a soft, unique, whimsical set of two hand-carded art batts, made from plant-based and animal-friendly fibers.

(Normally $12/month for 2+ oz. of fiber, includes shipping.)
