Shop Update 4/6/13 - A little bit of everything

It's been a busy week here at Yarn vs Zombies.
Club yarns have taken over my house, and custom orders for Tour de Fleece as well as my limited edition anniversary skeins are waiting in the wings.

But don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you!
This week's shop update has a little bit of everything. Gradients and self-striping, wildly variegated and subtly tonal. Cotton and wool. Geeky and classic.
I really hope you find something you love!


And don't forget. Tour de Fleece is coming. Whether you're a new spinner or have miles of experience, make sure you've got some fun fibres ready to play. There are still some Zombie Bites up for grabs in the shop, if you'd like to sample a variety and find a new spinning favourite.
Do you have Tour de Fleece plans? Let me know!

Like Playing In Fibre Clouds

 There's something new happening here at Yarn vs Zombies.
Look at these clouds. So fluffy. So squishy. So... what? That's not yarn. That's fibre!
And not just any fibre. Oh no. This is some of the finest, softest and most scrumptuous fibre locally available.
It's superwash merino from sheep that live on a little island just south of the mainland of Australia, called Tasmania.
Tasmania is a gorgeous place, and it seems their sheep are just as gorgeous.
This fibre has to be touched to be believed!
I may have spent an hour patting a piece of fluff.
And oh my goodness, does this fibre love dye. It's so vibrant and fun and a completely different experience than playing with yarn!

There will be several braids of this gorgeousness up in the shop on Tuesday, so make sure you give them a look if you love spinning (or just want a fluffy fibre pet).
