What i missed out on:

Auzula

The Loop Knittery
Spinning a Yarn
Nut & Bee
Vintage Purls Sock Yarn

Feel its a tad light on the Yarn/Fibre side of things but look forward to having a play with the samples i have :)

Would i purchase it again? .... um no, not unless there were more yarn samples or it was cheaper

Its actually made me think a bit more about the process and weather it is an affective advertising method - as i know the only sites I've looked at are those which where in my box as i can now relate to them so thumbs up. BUT i haven't checked the other suppiers sites - i guess as its a reminded of what i didn't get thumbs down.

I've been surfing!

I've found some more lovely yarny site thanks to Blendy and her Sampler boxes!

Firstly Touch Yarns - A lovely NZ made products for non prickly knitting (always a +) I'd love to get hold of some fibre from Kelly to process from fibre to knit myself using the different techniques i have recently learnt at spinning class - or if you haven't been taken by the spinning bug she has some lovely soft yarns of varying ply and type - well worth a click!

and then there is Fab Fibres ... who even sell dolls hair! or beautiful Treasure packs like this one:

Or Woolpaper ... yes read that again! Wool paper How amazing is that!! their own creation that i can't wait to find the time and money to get some to have a good look at! The colours it is available in are just spectacular as well


I think my art yarn spinning will start here!
