When I purchased the yarn that inspired my Snowberry Hat, I decided to find some squeeable yarn and such from etsy that crocheters, knitters, and spinners could drool over. These shops have hand painted\/dyed\/spun yarn, roving, and more. I’ve chosen just a few shops but there are many more on etsy and on Artfire as well. I do not apologize in advance for the plethora of green items. I tried to choose two images from each shop but some of the yarns insisted on coming to the party and I couldn’t resist.<\/p>\n

First up is midnight and lulu – http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/midnightandlulu<\/a> – in the Sonoma Valley in California, is where I got the Snowberry yarn from. Currently, they don’t have many yarns available, but it’s worth keeping an eye out as more are added. The second image shows the Snowberry yarn which was thick and thin but lovely to work with and the tonal changes made for a great design.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t the first yarn below look like licorice whips? And the next one so reminds me of deep red cherries still on the tree.<\/p>\n
