Wow! Are you ready for this?! Crys of Polyartgirl has sent in some lustrous and luxurious fiber for the April box. Bamboo and a new fiber on the market, milk!In February, Crys sent in some beautiful red locks and she's outdone herself this month!
Every time I visit her shop, I feel a sense of calm wash over me. Her colors are spectacular and the quality of her fiber is top drawer!
Crys is also co- director for the SLV folk Festival! I wish I lived closer, as that looks like it would be an extra fun event to attend!
Up for grabs is the beautiful warm and earthy hand combed bamboo, ramboulliet, mohair and angelina rovings. They total 1 3/4 oz and are so yummy! Please visit Polyartgirl and find something you like. Post about it below here and you'll be entered in the drawing on Thursday. Want to be counted twice? Use twitter, plurk, facebook, your blog or other social network to get the word out about Crys' wonderfully beautiful shop! Just let me know you did!
Thank you so much Crys! I adore your work, and I hope you will continue to contribute to Phat Fiber!

Oh, good grief, I can't possibly choose -- blues/greens/purples are my favorite colors, and practically everything she has falls in those colors!!! If I have to pick one, I guess the Dream colorway, but seriously...can I have them all?!?

I changed my mind.. this one is my fav.. so i deleted my first post.. lol.. im such an addict.. i tweeted it too. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23222406
I like Purple People Eater :)

ohh me me me! I love the raspberry handspun!
My fave is Oceanic Daydream - I'm a sucker for the blues/teals/browns color combination. I can say from experience, too, that spinning these types of rovings with the alpaca blended in is a real pleasure!
I loved the BFL locks I got from her in February in the box and have already used some up! I'd love to get more so my favorite thing from her shop would be the locks in the Rain colorway: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20871765
The Oceanic Daydream looked heavenly. So soft. *Sigh*

Oh, definitely Purple People Eater - I LOVE purple, and those are some of my favorite fibers!
SO RIDICULOUSLY GORGEOUS! I love that dream colorway...just wanna swim in it!!! LOL
Call me a plain Jane, but I love the marshmallow creme (I'm also a sucker for white flowers...), though if I had to pick something colored it would be the Spring Colorway. It's been a long winter here and anything green is currently striking my fancy! (And I love the ringlets in locks!)
love the pretty fibers!! awesome!! I love her Purple People Eater!! have to drool over that for sure!!! love her yarns too very nice!!! hugs Linda
i spun up the Feb locks and love them!!
I really like the purple people eater set, it would be fun to play with matching fibers!
I looked no further than Equinox, so sexy!
(Forgot to mention I spread the love on facebook, too. Hope my yarn-y friends check it out!)
I love this color yarn, I can see many things to make with it.

If I had the funds right now, I'd definitely get the milk fiber in the Dream colorway - so beautiful! =)
I love the Dream and Equinox colorways. Those Spring BFL locks are really pretty too!
I'm loving the On Fire bamboo roving... so shiny!!
Oh I love the On Fire bamboo roving, so shiny and coppery.

Mmmm. Drool drool...mmm....Spring Colorway BFL...mmmmmmmmmmmm.

YAY I love her fibers to but I'm biased.
Yummy Raspberry handspun! All I can say is wow! I'm twittering and blogging! :) Thx so much for sharing another fab artist!
Oh my gracious the bamboo rovings are beautiful and I am so excited to see them in the box I also love the milk protein yarn it looks so yummy soft.

I love the buttered beans.
I just can't decide between On Fire ( http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23648236 ) and Equinox ( http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23222406 )!!! So lovely...
I have wanted to try out milk fibre for ages.. so my vote goes to the milk.
I liked VEHEMENCE Handspun, Handpainted yarn, 130 yards.Hugs Darcy darcysknottyknitter@gmail.com
the ocean dream looks like just that and while the milk fiber is fascinating to me and I'd love to try spinning with it, I finally fell to the side of the ocean dream mixed fiber roving because, you know, I felt. Milk fiber can't possibly felt, can it? No cuticle...Her fibers are beautiful!
Wow, it is all yummy. I think if i had to choose I would say the Dream color in the milk fiber blend. I haven't tired spinning that yet and it is on my list to try.

Her handspun yarn Night Fire is gorgeous! I can imagine it knitting up into an awesome chunky scarf.
Wow! I love the Equinox fiber--absolutely beautiful. Her handspun is lovely as well. Great shop!
That Purple People Eater is most intriguing...
I have to say that the sea smoke handspun just CALLED to me!
Wow the Sea smoke yarn is lovely. What a complex and elegant mix of colors!
I'm just getting into spinning so I may be over my head but I'd like to try for the prize to build my stash... even if I might be a bit afraid to use such fine fibers for a while.
I love the Raspberry superwash handspun!

ooooOOOoooh.
i'm all about the buttered beans- http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18791300. as a redhead, it's the perfect green to compliment the do :)
they're such a delicious colour and are simply making me drool a tiny bit; i think i need some breakfast, lol!
oh, and the last post is mine, didn't link to my blog ?!?
Love the milk fiber in the Dream colorway!
I love the Dream colourway - esp. in the milk fiber. Also amazing is the Cooling bamboo, and the Equinox merino blend. I love the rich colours.
I love the Pinto Valley Treasure. So gorgeous!
I really like the Cooling bamboo fiber. I've never spun bamboo before, so I'm kind of curious as to what it spins like.

She's got this vehemence handspun fuchsia yarn with shots of lime and blue mixed in. Plus, there's another handspun called Pinto Valley Treasure that's a dark blue with beads spun into it. It reminds me of dark water. Love it!
Oeanic Daydream....sigh......

Ooo La la! Pinto Valley Treasure Handspun. It's the last poet in her shop. The best for last?
Wow, beyond beautiful!!! I love the Dream Colorway, in any of the fibers!!!
Also retweeted :)
I am so tempted by that bamboo roving - hope I get a sample so I can see if I can spin.
The Night Fire handspun is really neat!
The Oceanic Daydream is just calling my name.

I like the red curls and the green stuff the most. I want some now!
The Equinox colorway calls out to me.
Spring Colorway - Hand processed and handpainted BFL Locks--very nice color, and BFL gets my attention any day.
dragonmaille (on Rav too)
Oooooo... I'm still slightly intimidated by unspun but I love the Butterbean Homespun! What a lovely mix of greens :)
you can make yarn from milk?!?! That's pretty darn amazing. I definitely have a yarn crush on the Dream colorway in polyartgirl's etsy shop. Those blues and greens are gorgeous. 2nd fave is the purple people eater.
I would love to get my hands on her Exuinox fiber!
I plurked about it, too! http://www.plurk.com/p/obnu3
I love the Vehemence hand spun yarn! It looks like it would be amazing to knit with!
I've mentioned this contest on Ravelry and Facebook as well!
I'm hoping tomorrow will be a lucky day for me with at least one of these contests! After that test I'm to take this afternoon, I'll definitely be needing an upper!
I adore the raspberry handspun. So gorgeous =)
Dream colorway--because I love blues and greens
Ooooh, the Equinox - Wool, Merino, Mohair, Angelina, Tencel - 2 1/4 oz looks so dreamy I'm going to have to choose it. I can just imagine how gorgeous that would be spun up!

The Dream colorway is great, especially in the Milk Fiber, which I've never tried before!
I think this is my favorite Equinox - but I also really like the raspberry handspun.
First page I hit I found that absolutley BEAUTIFUL Pinto Valley Treasure. And the Rasberry Handspun is simple delish looking.

Her Sea Smoke Yarn would make something lovely. Perhaps a hat to keep my curls in at the beach....
Lovely giveaway, thank you!
