Geocaching, Crafting, and The Twisted Purl Traveler

Do you go Geocaching?  Geocaching is one of the most fun outdoor family friendly activities you can do.  All you need is a GPS device (most cell phones have them now a days) and the will to get out and find stuff!

I'd love to get more into Geocaching at a later time, for now...you want to learn more?  Please go to www.geocaching.com

We are excited to be releasing a Travel Bug today!  This is The Twisted Purl's first ever Travel Bug.  A Travel Bug travels between geocaches worldwide and most work to fill a mission.

Current Goal:
On a mission to see your projects made out of yarn and visit as many local yarn shops as possible. I'd like to travel as far and as long as possible, so please keep me moving! I'd love to make it to a yarn shop in every state of America and then travel worldwide.

 Anytime our travel bug moves or gets update we'll share the information here.

We are heading out now to put it in it's first cache so it can start it's journey!

New Year New Yarn New Beginnings

The Twisted Purl has started fresh and new with the New Year.  The yarn is flying off the wheel and back into our Etsy Shop.  I know....it's about darn time!

I took about a year off of the yarn production.  Tried to enter the real world and work a real job.  PSH!  You know how yarn can call to you?  Well my yarn was SCREAMING!  Why did you leave me?  Where have you gone?  You are the crazy yarn lady....not this other crazy lady!  So, I give in.  Here I am, back and ready to rock n roll!!!

A few new yarns are now listed in our online shop.  Please check it out!  Let me know what your hopes are for 2011.  Mine is to stay committed to what is important.

Hope you are having a crafty day!

Mardi Gras, Valentine's, and Yarn oh my!

With January shortly coming to a close, there are several Holidays knocking on our doors.  I already told you 2010 will be the Year of the Yarn, well hold onto your freshly knitted socks and check out this new handspun yarn. 

I have been on a bit of an art yarn kick. I know, art yarn may not exactly be what you will knit up to wear as socks or sweaters, but let me tell you, they would make one fantastically interesting hat, purse, or embellishment for a scarf.

It is my pleasure to introduce Mardi Gras:

Mardi Gras is February 16th this year. This yarn was handspun from painted purple, green, and yellow roving (pictured below) and then plied with a green thread and metallic Mardi Gras steamers. It looks like a big ole mess of Mardi Gras fun.

Some of this hand painted roving will be on sale in the good ole Etsy shop.  The Mardi Gras art yarn will also be in the shop, so keep an eye out.

The Yarn of the Month club this month was filled with lots of love, early enough for your Valentine's Day pleasure.

The freebie was a little metal mailbox filled with your yarn.  Hope you enjoy!  I got a lot of strange looks when I entered the post office with a huge box full of Priority boxes decorated just for you.  As I put them one by one on the counter, I heard a few chuckles.  But hey!  Gotta love the yarn decorations, no?

For more Valentine's Day fun, I felted up three new soaps, in shades of pink and a touch of white.  I am in the process of plying some yarn out of this same colorway and it is turning out spectacular. 

Of course, these soaps will be listed in the Etsy Shop, as soon as I get off my bottom and start listing!

So, there you have it!  I hope you are all having a wonderful New Year and are enjoying the Year of Yarn.  ♥
