Featured Etsy Artist - MYSMALLWONDERS

My Small Wonders started knitting about 4 1/2 years ago. Since that time she has taken up dyeing, spinning, needle and wet felting. She now finds herself trying to memorize the colors of a sunset to see if she can duplicate them in her dyepots. My Small Wonders expressed that she loves to start out with an idea and then winds up with something very different because a certain color combination has pulled her in another direction. When her son commented that "we should turn our house into a yarn store," she discovered Etsy and never looked back. My Small Wonders feels the Etsy group is a supportive community and she feels lucky to be in the company of such accomplished artists. May I add that she is certainly one of these accomplished artists. MySmallWonders work is available at: www.mysmallwonders.etsy.com Please take the time to view her shop for a beautiful selection of hand dyed yarns. The spinning of hand dyed roving creates yarns that you will never be able to find in a yarn shop. If you are a knitter or have a friend who is a knitter please share with them about MySmallWonders .... a delightful viewing treat is waiting for you!
