I know all of you have been waiting for me to blog about CJ and her awesome shop Extreme Spinning! CJ's beautiful organic wool handspun was a "belle of the box" last month! Marcus (best boy) was not shy about letting me know it was his favorite sample.
Extreme Spinning offers so many unique and scrumptious fibers in her shop! Have you been pining away for some pygora? CJ can hook you up. Have questions about Icelandic wool? CJ would be my go-to person for that.
I am extremely grateful for shop's like CJ's. I can explore and learn about fiber, purchase enough to keep me busy for a long while- all without breaking my bank. Besides that, I just really enjoy talking with CJ. She is fun, knowledgeable, and very willing to help with any questions I've had. To be perfectly honest, when I have an urge to shop for fiber- I look at the extremespinning shop first!
I'm excited to see that there are new felting fibers in the shop. Needle felting is only something I've dabbled in, and I've been seeing wonderful wet-felted items for sale lately! You'll get to try some felting with the felted bead kits Extreme Spinning has contributed to February's box.
If I haven't convinced you that you need to get some of extremespinning's wares yet, just look at how much of her store is organic! CJ uses wool and fiber from certified organic farms and uses organic dyes in all of her hand dyeing.
We're giving away a Chocolate Kisses Batt! Visit Extremespinning, let us know what items you'd like to buy and we'll enter you in a drawing on Friday (tomorrow). All the extra tweets, plurks, forum posts and blog posts will get you extra entries! Make sure I know how to get a hold of you in case you win!

I love Oysters on the Half Shell. Both the name and the fiber. Of course, I'm always a sucker for Border Leceister. It's soooo much fun to spin!

You had me at chocolate kisses!

Oysters on the half shell is beautiful. I also love all the fleece options she has in her shop. What a great way for someone to try different types before committing themselves to a full fleece.
My plurk friends think I'm terrible, I keep sending them here to win yarn/fiber and then they wind up shopping :D
OMG i love the pics of the sheepies! They are so cute :)
I think i like the "heartbreaker" roving, i love red and black together
I adore the Leopard Gecko custom spun

I'm a sucker for sparkles, and the chocolate kisses looks divine.
Oh boy, I just bought some of her sock roving. I'm so excited to get it! There is a bunch of stuff I would love to get but this it the one that is standing out to me today.. GLASS OF MERLOT Organic Sock Roving 4 oz Washable.
How fun!
I LOVE the Vamp organic sock roving! Gorgeous!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20971467
mmm I would buy the heartbreaker roving! Yum!!
I really like the Leopard Gecko handspun yarn. My brother has two leopard geckos, so it would be fun to make something for him with this yarn :)
I love the Chocolate Kisses and the Merlot (mmmmm). Food inspired yarn colorways make me happy....
My favorite is Milk Chocolate (No cals) Organic Icelandic Handspun Yarn. I think this beautiful chocolate brown, bulky weight yarn would make a luscious neckwarmer. The icing on the cake is that it's organic, too!

Rave name MamaMay
Facebooked you! Well kinda. I put this contest as the "what are you going now" thing...
VAMP and First Blush are both so beautiful that I can't decide between them! I love that Extreme Spinning uses organic wool.
I like the Nutmeg colored roving. Such a pretty warm brown!
globalite on Rav.
I love that Gotland fleece, but I;d take anything from her shop! It's all lovely.
I love the Milk Chocolate -- YUMMY!
You picked a great one for the giveaway, I love the chocolate kisses. Her Vamp and Glass of Merlot colorways are also fantastic. And how cute is it that she shows pics of the sheep she gets the wool from!
I love all the icelandic fibers. Queen Victoria is gorgeous and so it Vintage Papers! (along with everything else. *purr*
My favorite is VAMP Organic Sock Roving 4 oz, but there is so much beautiful fiber there! I've marked her store as a favorite, and can't wait to explore and shop!
Oh wow, the Orange You Excited batt has me excited! I think it's been winter so long that I want to jump all over that color. Thanks for the link. I know a felter who will be interested.

I want the Strawberries and Cream roving - love the color! Just gorgeous. And such an affordable price too. :)
loving the peaches & cream yarn. thanks for the fun!!

I spent a half hour looking at all those beautiful fibers & colors & such a wondrous variety of textures and salivating! I love everything but having to narrow it down I'm going to go with the exciting colors of ORANGE YOU EXCITED XS sox batts, but that Queen Victoria is pulling at my soft side! My daughter is begging for Glass of Merlot socks so it looks like I'll be doing a lot of shopping at Extreme Spinning : )
MamaKin on Rav; mamakinz on Etsy
Those Chocolate Kisses are so scrumptious - my fingers were itching to grab the screen! Taking a peek at the site, though, I was intriqued by the 6oz grey Gotland fiber. I've never played with that and it sure looks like fun!
Thanks for another terrific contest!
This is tricky, because I just got a huge order from Extreme Spinning last night! I already bought everything I love from her store! I got some of the Valiant fleece, some of Heaven's Cloud pygora (which is amazing), roving of Dante's Prayer and roving of "I've got the Blues", Nutmeg Icelandic roving (gorgeous!), soft grey batts of angora/alpaca/shetland, and hot pink Icelandic/angora handspun yarn! I just love everything from her shopo!
Oh, you naughty enabler you!
I will wait until after Friday's drawing, at which time I plan to spend way too much money in the shop.
No, I'm not being bad, I have a class coming up and I need "school supplies."
Hey, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
My wish list includes:
VINTAGE PAPERS XS Hand Dyed Border Leicester Locks
and I wish I could live without:
A LITTLE LIKE SILK 4 oz White Soy Silk Roving
And my dream color combo in:
FIRST BLUSH Organic Roving
Oh, this is gonna be 'spensive...
You are awesome for doing the giveaway!
I hope it's OK to link you in my Ravelry groups. If not, let me know & I'll bump it out.
Yeah You!

I want the chocolate kisses. It looks good enough to eat!
I really need a Glass of Merlot! Awesome colors and perfect name.
I have to say a better question would be what wouldn't I like to get my hands on?!
My favs are Strawberries and Cream, First Blush, and the batts that have angora in them!
Yummy locks and fleece! I'd be happy with any of them...and of course pictures of sheep to go along with pictures of fleece, well that always makes a good day. :)
I love the chocolate kissess and I have blog about the giveaway and linked back to it here:http://darcyknottyknitter.blogspot.com/2009/02/extreme-spinning-and-giveaway.html

I totally want that greensleeves roving - amazing! Maybe I'll have to have a fiber savings box...
I went to her shop and oh my gosh, I've never seen organic wool at those wonderful prices!! My favorites were the Icelandic & Angora and the Art Deco sock roving. After I look at my paycheck tomorrow I will have to visit her shop on Saturday and see if I have to settle for one or if I can buy both ;P. Nothing like these contests enabling us ;P. If you stop by my website it has my email addy toward the bottom, just incase I should win or anything :).
That stuff is just gorgeous!!! Hope I win some! ;-)
wow, love her site! That choc kisses is to die for, but also fell in love with the oysters on the half shell!
The Leceister "Oysters on the Half Shell" looks so amazing and soft. I want it!
Oh, and I tweeted about the giveaway...

Wow!! I am a new spinner and I am always looking for new fibers to try my hand it. I absolutely loved Greensleeves. I love to knit with angora and would love to try to spin with it. I also loved the Vamp sock roving. I am so tempted. I wish payday was a little bit closer.
HeatherD on ravelry
The Oysters, hands down!!
Oh gosh, how to narrow it down! I love the Chocolate Kisses XS Sox Batts, but all the Icelandic looks good too.
Ok, so I will admit now that I'm a spinning virgin, but man am I intrigued! I especially loved Greensleeves, It Went Bump, and Rumpelstiltskin though! Those are awesome!
I also wrote a blog about all of this week's giveaways here on blogspot!

Hard to pick just one! I'd have to say the Gray Gotland is calling to me, though.... I can just imagine the feeling of all those little locks!
I love the chocolate kisses. Being a new spinner I haven't dabbled in any beautiful fiber yet.

The Vamp organic sock roving is superb! It's nice to see how those Greener Dyes dye up...and I love the local/sustainable/organic aspect of this shop!
It all looks scrumptious but I guess if I had to pick one thing it would be Glass of Merlot Organic Sock Roving. I'm pretty new to spinning and don't really know what I'm looking at yet . . . but Chocolate kisses is awfully pretty too!
The chocolate yarn all spun up.
Chocolate all chocolate. I D love that!
Heaven, simply heaven...chocolate kisses, sparkles, pastels, truely a divine scrumptious platter. I love the heart shaped red roving.
