When I went on to Etsy to purchase my shawl pin a couple weeks ago I ended up spending some time looking at other stuff too. Etsy is so addictive! I somehow (heh) ended up finding someone who was destashing. (Squee!) And so I ordered one of her lots which was Brown Sheep Handpaint Originals Yarn. I picked up 4 skeins of Onyx, 2 skeins of Cranberry, and one skein of Chestnut.
I am a BIG fan of Brown Sheep yarn. I use it a lot. Love the feel of it, love the finished products I have made from them, and I really like the colors the yarn comes in. I used my flash on these pictures so the colors are bleached out here, but these are wonderful colors.
I have been enjoying thinking about what I want to make with this yarn. I originally thought a shawl would be very warm and wonderful, but I read that this yarn felts really well, so now I am toying with the idea of making a bag out of it. Not sure which way the wind will blow on this, but the thought process is a joy!

Ohhhh pretty shiny :)
Oh! Happy days. That yarn has found a loving new owner :)
@Knitting Nix I wish I could photograph the soft. I keep reaching over and squishing on it!
@Inthesky It's a sacrifice, taking in all this wayward yarn. But someone needs to open their doors and give this yarn a home! And by golly, I am willing and able to be that noble woman. ;)
oh lovely! think both a bag and a shawl would look nice from this.
@Suebanna Me too! :) Might have to flip a coin to decide or perhaps buy more and make one of each! ;)
