Natural Suburbia Sponsor - Woolies

Today I am thrilled to welcome a new sponsor to Natural Suburbia, Sara of Woolies. Sara has the most beautiful Etsy shop filled with wonderful knitted treasures.
Natural Suburbia: What serves as your inspiration for your wonderful creations?

Sara:
I am a huge enormous crazy animal lover. We have 8 animals currently - horses, dogs and cats, but have enjoyed the company of goats, lizards - well - you get the picture.

Natural Suburbia: What draws you most to working with natural fibers?

Sara:
The texture, the feel, the colors....my favorite yarn to work with is handspun wools (llama is a particular favorite) - I have a friend with a fiber ranch nearby - her handspun kid mohair is exquisite. I simply cannot work with fake manmade fibers.

Natural Suburbia: What can customers expect to find in your shop?

Sara:
All natural knitted stuffed animals! I also make felted slippers for kids of all ages, and a pattern or two.

Now without further ado, please look at these precious creations, aren't they just darling? Wonderful for Christmas gifts, Birthdays etc... to see more of these beautiful items, visit Sara's Etsy shop.






Giveaway:
Sara is offering a lovely giveaway.
One reader has the chance to win one of the items below. In your comment, please add which item you would prefer to win, either, one sweet knitted gnome in your colour choice or the adorable pair of knitted acorns with their own little embroidered carry bag.
To gain an additional 3 entries, please Tweet, Facebook or Blog about this giveaway and then don't forget to send me another comment to let me know;)
I will choose a winner on Thursday evening:) Comments closed, we have a winner:)



Sara also has an amazing jewellery shop on Etsy called Buster and boo  and has a blog where she documents her life.

Sara, it has been such a pleasure introducing you to my readers, thank you so much for becoming a sponsor on Natural Suburbia:)

    I adore the acorns! I haven't been brave enough to try knitting them yet.

    Thanks for pointing out her blog! I've long admired her etsy shop but wasn't aware of another peak into her world.
