I have some pictures to post for the upcoming week... and would love more!

Did you know that a lot of our LYS have a Superbowl SUNDAY yarn sale? Go get stash and send pictures!

SWAP ME SOME STASH is ready! I have some Maggi Tweed up on the ol' auction block first. Check it out!

FLASH YOUR STASH MONDAY!!!!

2006-01-30T06:06:00.000-08:00

(drumroll please....)
Here we go you fiber-holics!
(anyone who does not believe that fiber is addictive is fooling themselves!)

The moment you all have waited for has arrived!

Here is your first peek at

FLASH YOUR STASH MONDAY!

This is a merino/tencel from Springwater Fiber Workshop.
They make/dye amazing yarn (and sell at amazing prices!
I just had to get something new to celebrate the inauguration!)

Chrissy sent these pictures of her Artyarns Supermerino.
That is gorgeous!

That color! I love that colorway!

Speaking of color..... get a load of the dye-job on her!

Bev's handspun made by Noelle
That is breathtaking...
(ok. so I am dramatic. But the color is STUNNING!)

This is from Karen.
I see OPAL, Cascade, and (some of my favorite) Wildfoote.
She recently bought all of that at ONE TIME.... ONE TRIP...
I am interested to see how that OPAL knits up!

And here is EMMIE:

EMMIE has some STASH! We can look forward to pictures
of the gems in this bag for weeks to come!

Again with the sock yarn! Laurie, you know my weakness!
I want a more detailed accont of what is actually in there!

If that wasn't enough to make you slap yourself
or skip all the way to work...
JessaLu throws in ROVING.
R-O-V-I-N-G! Fiber that will be yarn! A tease I tell you!
I can't wait to see it spun!

Lastly... we will end with this:

That is some stash JessaLu! I personally want to explore (in much more detail)
the top right hand corner that seems to be the area that socks come from.

A big thanks from Mama-E to all who are indulging this little idea of mine!
Feel free to leave a comment about what you are drooling over... I mean see.
I like it when people show me YARN LOVE, and I am sure all of the contributors do too!

All of you
INAUGURAL CONTRIBUTORS
should email me a snail mail address. I have a little "thank you" I would like to put in the post.

Stay tuned for a SHOW ME YOUR STASH SWAP MEET update mid-week.

*UPDATE*
MARIE, FROM BROOKLYN HANDSPUN, CHIMES IN!!!
this is her stash destined for The POINT

SEE... WE SAW YOU PEEKING AGAIN!!

Well... here is your answer!

Nothing makes me feel better than a glimpse at some yarn p*rn! That's right fellow fiber-holics. I know that I shop for yarn all the time and double time on the weekends.

Easy, right?
