Yarn Eye Candy

I have a new love.  It's Tanis Fiber Arts.  I first became acquainted with Tanis and her yarn when she posted pictures of her finished Wispy Cardi on Ravelry.  It is gorgeous.  Since then I've seen her name popping up all over.  I had to try her yarn myself! She was kind enough to send me a few samples, in addition to a special treat for YOU knitters, which I will be sharing in a few weeks.

This is my favorite - it's her Aran weight superwash in the most perfect color, Shadow.

I am strongly considering it for an upcoming secret project...
