That delicious pink batt pictured above is a recent extreme spinning creation we're giving away! Did you know that Extreme spinning has a new website? CJ is always trying to find new ways to help us shop yummy organic fiber! She has this new site set up where you can sign up for her list and you'll be notified of when her new stuff hot off the carder etc is up. You'll then have an opportunity to purchase it there and the excess will be listed in her Etsy shop.I am so pumped about this idea, because I like to be the first to know when things are available! CJ recently sent me a gorgeous carded batt of a silvery sparkly shetland and silky shiny bamboo. It was the finest "extreme spinning" experience of mine to-date. The shetland had a touch of lanolin which conditioned my fingers and all the while whispering to me "I'm wool and I'm not ashamed of it". The bamboo was undyed and completely smooth and slinky. I ended up plying two fairly thick singles together to make a chunky funky natural colored yarn with a luxurious drape. Fabulous!
Of course, if you're just starting out wanting to spin, ask CJ about her learn to spindle packages, she'll be glad to put one together for you!
To win this bright pink batt (seacell/merino, the sparkle is firestar and the orange is alpaca/merino. Sandwiched in the middle is lots of lovely bamboo. Total weight is 4.5 oz), just visit Extreme Spinning's New Site and or the Etsy shop and pick out something you'd like to write about here. I'll be drawing for the week next Thursday and as with all my contests, I count your extra networking efforts as more entries for you- twitter, facebook, plurk, ravelry posts - Just let me know you did it!
Thank you CJ, for keeping spinning exciting and for being such a great person!

Yum, the milk chocolate handspun looks delish!
I love all of extreme spinning's stuff! She knows I am thoroughly addicted, but I really love the sock batts with all the lovely glittery stuff. Show-stopping socks come to mind - I love the green one
How lovely is the Sprites Angora roving!! (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22417266) It looks like the way I imagine spring would feel.

The Extreme Spinning shop has so many lovelies, but this one just appealed to me immediately.
The Black Lavender Pansy merino top is YUM!
Black Peacock rocks! I love jewel tones, and it hits the spot.

How does CJ do it?! Two stores!! Oh my, now there is just more to choose from! My favorite at this moment -- how does one choose from all CJ's art -- is the Organic Icelandic Angora Roving. I love the colors, the type of fiber and the name. My mind is whirling with spinning and knitting possibilities.
Thank you CJ.

I've been resisting spinning but the luscious colors of this fiber may lure me in! I love the yarn I have gotten from CJ.
Ooooh!!!! Any one of her Xcessive SoX batts--they're all gorgeous (especially Peacock and City Nights). Don't know how Angelina spins up, as I've never tried it but the colors are outrageously gorgeous.

I love The Pasture Organic Merino Cross Top! It inspires me to plan a picnic - to paraphrase Omar "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and nice nap."
got to love the crocus with the sparkle, but how could you not like the lucky leprechaun as well!! smile
Nice! On the etsy site my favorite is CROCUS XSive Batt Merino Bamboo Angelina, and there is so much to love on the extreme spinning site! City Lights Xsive Spinning Batts and Black Lavender Pansy Organic Merino Cross Top are what caught my eye the most.
I like the Forest Gold Suffolk/Hamshire roving!
The Lucky Leprechaun rocks! Too cute!

Of what's still available, the Pasture Organic Merino Cross Top is speaking to me. A peek at the Etsy site revealed a yummy looking ORANGE YOU EXCITED XS SoX Batt that, yes, got me excited!

I'd have to say that chocolate milkshake batt is my favorite. It's gorgeous!!!
I like the Lucky Leprachaun one (spelling?) Probably because I'll be going to Ireland in July!
I think the Milk Chocolate hand spun has to be my favorite. I can just imagine it knit up into a nice bulky scarf.

OMG I LOVE the chocolate organic handspun!!!
Red Dragon & Brianna for me. Gawd, what talent! Absolutely beautiful. Going to let the twitter gang know about the new shop!
Gorgeous!The Milk Chocolate just what I'd want in my easter basket!
I love pebbles in the stream
I fell in love with the Sprites XS Organic Icelandic Angora Roving. It looks like cotton candy!!
How can I pass up a listing that starts with Chocolate Milk Shake? It looks so fabulous!
I just love the Pasture Organic Merino Cross Top - so much that I would order it now if I knew if I could spin it. I've had such trouble spinning merino - hope I will be able to spin it nicely eventually but maybe I'm too new to this.
Black Lavender Pansy Organic Merino Cross is very very pretty, I'm quite drawn to it. Once spun it I think it would very nice knit up with a small amount of colored yarn as an accent!

Dryer balls are my favorite "new thing"! They do amazing things for our clothes and drying time
The Brianna Organic Merino Cross Top roving is gorgeous! Extreme spinning's products are becoming very popular among our yarn group every since one of our members came to a meetup with this lovely skein of custom made yarn called the Ashley. It was sooo soft.

The colors of French Toast Organic Merino Cross Top are incredibly pretty.
OMG, the colors are SOO wonderful! She's got a great eye for color. I do have to say that Forest Gold Organic Suffolk/Hamshire Roving 7 oz Washable Wool immediately caught my eye. I've never used that type of wool, and the color is so fantastic... I'm so tempted to buy... oh dear... what to do...
