To celebrate Small Business Saturday we are having a sale all weekend!
15% off your entire order 12 a.m. Saturday through 11:30 p.m. Sunday EST. The discount is taken off at checkout.
Tis the season! Now is the time to think about your Christmas purchases. This lovely Cactus Flower shawl designed by Romi Hill was knit with two skeins of our Opal yarn. Or, this pretty headband designed by Chicknits — one skein of WW Kashmir will knit two headbands, a perfect quick gift for Christmas!
Between now and December 13th I am having a Black Friday/Small Business Saturday sale. Use the code SBSAT to get 20% any item in my shop. This includes all of my knitting greeting cards as well as my fine art prints. Plus anything I may add between now and then! The perfect gift for any knitter, my cards are 100% homemade and acid free with a blank inside for any occasion!
Fresh from the dye pot is Winter Wonderland, a 438-yard, 100-gram sock weight yarn. This is my “snazzy” base of 75% superwash Merino, 20% nylon and 5% Stellina.
Dyed in warm fireside colors with splashes of cool undertones, just think of a night sky full of starts with a full moon to reflect off of the glistening snow.
Winter Wonderland is also available in a 4 oz. roving of a Corriedale cross wool. This is not superwash.
On sale in my shop are all of my rovings, except Wonderland, for $12 instead of $16.
Message me for a Christmas Package deal. Buy more than 2 skeins of yarn or roving and I will give you a holiday special. You must message me for this deal with what you are wishing to purchase.
Happy Holidays!
This weekend serves as something of a mental milestone in holiday shopping. It’s like someone flips a switch to ‘go!’ and all of a sudden those winter holidays seem far too close for comfort while your shopping list seems longer than you’d like. To help fill in some of those hard-to-buy-for blanks, Sweet Sheep is offering free shipping on all orders placed from 11/26 through 12/1! Use the coupon code THANKS2014 at checkout to take advantage of this Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday (gosh, are there any more?) deal for both domestic and international orders! Give someone (or yourself) the gift of indie, handmade, natural body products. Their skin will thank you!
In other exciting news, I’ve offered a Custom Mix Pack option to the shop! With this mix pack you receive three sample-sized lotion bars packaged in their wee tins and gathered into a cotton muslin bag that is perfect for gift-giving, just like with any of my themed gift sets (e.g., Coffeehouse Specials, Fall Favorites, All Natural). However, with the custom mix pack you get to pick-and-choose the scents that you’d like me to include! Since these are custom made, the shipping time is 1-2 weeks, so make sure you get your orders in early.
If you’re in the US, enjoy your Thanksgiving, and if you’re elsewhere, eat something delicious anyway, and happy shopping!
Squeezing in one last update before the holidays! 5pm GMT on Saturday November 29th!
I’ve also got some gift items other than yarn if you are still looking for gifts for knitters and even gift certificates if you are in decision overload.
Happy Holidays all!
Enjoy 30% off my ebook and all patterns from November 23 – November 30th. No coupon code required.

In 2013, Etsy opened its marketplace to Chinese manufacturers, undermining the ideology upon which Etsy was founded. Although they maintain that they limit their sellers to “handmade items,” more and more I find that I, as a buyer, have to wade through pages and pages of mass-produced Chinese products before being able to view my own shop’s listings. That’s not what I, personally, consider to be support of the made-in-America artisan. So, even though the holiday shopping season is upon us, I’ve decided to say good-bye to Etsy and move my shop to a marketplace that is what Etsy used to be: dedicated to artisans and hand crafters. (My Etsy shop will be closing in December.)
You can find the new Cedar Hill Farm Company shop on Zibbet.com — the same OOAK hand painted and hand dyed luxury yarns and fibers, just a different, more artisan-supported venue. I hope that you will check out my new digs!
And speaking of the holiday shopping season… to celebrate the opening of my new shop, there will be a sale! Visit Cedar Hill Farm Company @ Zibbet.com for a holiday (Black Friday all week long!) sale, beginning November 24th and ending November 30th. Automatically save 20% on all fingering and sport weight yarns and hand-sewn project bags — no coupons needed. Visit me @ http://www.zibbet.com/cedar-hill-farm-company for those special holiday gifts!
It’s officially been a month since the Rhinebeck Trunk Show, but that doesn’t mean the excitement is over. The fabulous Michelle of Berry Colorful Yarnings sent me a huge box of yarn to sell at the show, and while I’m very tempted to keep all of the remaining skeins for myself, I’ve decided to be generous and offer them up to you.
To do that, I’m launching a Berry Colorful Yarnings pop-up right here on Indie Untangled! There are nine skeins of fingering and sport in some gorgeous smokey grays and berry-colored purples, and one sole skein of Michelle’s very cool self-striping sock yarn. The form connects directly to PayPal and the yarn is ready to ship out immediately. So make sure to get your orders in soon, before the skeins start wandering into my stash… 😉
