Etsy Feature: Temptations of a Yarn Addict

It's time for a confession. I'm a yarn addict. I have bags full of yarn everywhere, waiting to be used up. I shouldn’t buy any more before I’ve used up what I have, but it gets so darn hard not to when I see the wonderful yarns for sale at Etsy. I figured that if I can’t buy any right now, I’ll at least show off some of my favourites.

And as an added bonus, I'll be creating a handy shopping list for later at the same time. Just don’t tell my hubby, or I’ll get one of those suffering looks that say "not more yarn AGAIN".

Anyways, enough chatting and on to the important bit! I'll let the images do most of the talking, because I'm sure they'll do a great job of luring you over by themselves. Note that each image also links to the yarn in question.

Visiting chewyspaghetti.etsy.com sets my imagination going every time. Just look at these two!

ruby297.etsy.com has so many yarns I'd love to use... I wouldn't know which to choose, it was difficult enough to decide on which to use as examples.

I just love the look of that pink yarn. Spazspun.etsy.com also has more than just your usual wool - how about some llama, yak or ingeo?

Want a change from the usual striped socks? Epicurus.etsy.com offers something special: sock yarn that goes from light at one end to dark at the other.

FearlessFibers.etsy.com has a wide selection of both subtle and striking colours, as well as different fibers. My knitting fingers are itching already!

That's all of them this time. So, away with you to browse all these shops, you're bound to find something (or, such as in my case, many things) you like!
