Dyed by Danido and *Giveaway*











Dani is part of the Phat Fiber Posse! Yes, Phat Fiber has a posse. (Sorry, I had to find a way to incorporate Shephard Fairey with Phat Fiber in the same blogpost because I'm a real nerd. ) She submits samples religiously and this month, we're giving away a full skein of her sock yarn called "Field of Daisies". It was so funny when I received her February box and this was in there, because I had almost bought this yarn a few different times! Dani has a new awesome sock club called "Rock Your Socks Off". She chooses a band and creates really awesome colorways based on their music. What is also really very awesome about this club is you can purchase on a month-to-month basis and she lets us know which band she's doing next. Read Dani's blog to find out who she's doing for April.
I'm so excited Dani has taken up spinning! She's been listing some really nummy handspun and roving lately!
I'm very proud to be working with Dani and creating custom yarns for the Phat Shop- she's really easy to work with- I tell her my ideas and she makes them happen!
On to the giveaway! Please visit Dani's shop and find something you like. Post about it below here and we'll be drawing a name late Friday. Be sure and tweet, plurk, blog, etc about this contest for extra entries! Remember, I need to find you if you win, so throw me a bone and leave your rav id or other way of getting in contact with you ;)
Thank you so much Dani! You Rock.

  35. I don't need to be entered in the drawing, unfortunately yarn in general is so wasted on me, but I wanted to mention that in the short time that I've known Dani she has come so far as she's spreading her wings into different areas of the fiber business and I'm immensely proud of her, especially reading all the comments that are being left for her handspun. You go, girl!
