Dicentra Designs seriously rocks my world! Lisa, the dye GODDESS of Dicentra, sent me two of her Merino/Angora spinning fibers in "Damask" and I was going to wait to do this giveaway until I finished spinning it- but I just can't!! I love Lisa's shop so much and I'm so excited about this giveaway, I just had to include it in the "Phatties Rock" week giveaways!
If you have experienced Lisa's samples, you understand when I say that beholding them, I got a rush of excitement over the masterful way the colors were combined and the superior quality of the fiber!
I am halfway through the "Damask" fiber and I'm taking a cue from a fellow Phattie and spinning it fingering weight singles- I am hoping to knit up a shawl. The angora makes this a yarn with an irreproachable and divine quality about it.
Did you know that Dicentra will be at the Black Sheep Gathering in June? For all of you lucky folks headed that way, be sure and look Lisa up! I'm sure she'll be easy to spot- with all of her gorgeous color!!!
Lisa was so kind to offer up this stunning 2.5 oz Merino/Angora spinning fiber in her "Edoras" colorway as a giveaway! Please visit Dicentra and find something you like. Post about that listing in the comments section below. I will be drawing for this giveaway on Friday, and for those of you who use twitter, facebook, blogs or other socical networking sites, let me know you've helped spread the word about this stunning shop, and I will count your entry twice.
Lisa, thank you so much for the privelege of spinning your gorgeous fiber, and for sending in your artistry in the box. We look forward to your June samples!

It's so bright and perfect for this time of year. I'm crossing my fingers that I win :)
Loving the Eowyn colorway in merino/angora. I could drop a huge amount of money in that store!
Oh my word, I want to get my hands on some of that merino silk top, any of it! But especially the Damask colorway. Mmm. Great colors!
The hand dyed Tussah silk in the Sedona colorway takes my breath away!
what amazing colorways! Sirius 2, Helms Deep and Stone Heart are wonderful.
The Alpaca Merino Sportweight Yarn in Lava is pretty!
I love Eowyn but Pelennor is just...there are no words. I love bright, rainbow yarns! Didn't a Phattie make a shawl from Pelennor?

My Thoughts on Life, Yarn, Kids, and Other Stuff
I love all her colorways, but especially her madrona one! :]
OMG that is pretty!
i've never spun an angora blend before and it looks super super yummy!
My favorite colorway is Damask, it reminds me of a rose garden in the spring!
The Mediterranean merino/silk/angora is amazing!
I loved all the merino silk angora top.
I love them all, but oooooh... Pelennor. That colourway, that fiber! It surely must feel as rich as the colour is to my eyes.
I need to go back now and drool over more Dicentra offerings in her shop. ;)
I like the bfl in Madrona. Lovely!
desertgarden
man oh man. i was first drawn to the stone heart colorway, then then ohmigod then i continue down and see merino/tussah silk top - iris and i had to wipe the drool off my face. i was still only on page 1!!! i also enjoy the eowyn, riviera, and eggplant dyed fibers. man thanx for showing such a great shop!!
Can't decide...love it all! I am serious. Will be saving this shop in my favourites.
Oh I'm swooning! I love Pelennor, Mediterranean, Eowyn, Ballerina and Vernal, and I'm also fond of Helms Deep. Honestly, they all appeal to me so it's hard to pick a favorite. The names are lovely, but I really appreciate the depth and range of colors in all of her colorways.
I love the big ball of roving. Wouldn't it be fun to buy the lot and have it sit on your coffee table until you get time to spin it?
I love the Vernal colorway in merino/angora top: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25149774
Those colors will spin up beautifully!
Wow - I love Alpaca/Merino Sportweight Yarn - Pelennor It's so cheerful
My favorite is the Alpaca/Merino Sportweight Yarn in Lava. Looks wonderful!

Pelennor - no doubt about it. It's really fabulous.

This Merino/Tussah is simply divine. She has a lot of gorgeous stuff, though!
I blogged about it at

My vote is for I love Alpaca/Merino Sportweight Yarn - Pelennor
Rav id - purple
I can't believe her prices, they are so reasonable! I might actually have to purchase the yarn I am about to tell you about. I love the Ancient Highway yarn. I think it would make some beautiful socks or a nice lacy scarf! Her shop will definitely become one that I frequent!

I've been a huge fan of Dicentra since I first got some of her yarn at Molehill Farm in Lake Oswego. I LOVE everything, but anything she does in the Pelennor colorway makes me swoon!
I'm in love with 'Deeply' ~ 5 oz. of BFL roving.
All the fiber is divine thouh, I love how bold and strong the colors are.

Okay, seriously, this stuff is insanely gorgeous. I had a Craftster friend that just showed off some roving she ordered today. It was so beautiful.
Pellenor roving - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22324206 That one is my favorite. I checked it out a while back when I was given the link. Everyone drooled over it all. lol
I'm going to go blog about her goodies and your giveaway right now. :) Have a crafty day!!
I love Alpaca/Merino Sportweight Yarn in Lava. It's just beautiful

The Lava Alpaca Lace Yarn is wonderful, those deep, dark colors would make any pattern more dramatic.

Hi Jessie,
Im Paula. I really like the merino/silk/angor spinning fiber in Mediterranean colorway. I like the rich vibrant hues of the colors. First I had bead lust now I have yarn lust. I think I will work on something combining my two loves. kaththea1953atyahoo.com
Ohhh ... now I have another site on my etsy favorites!
This one is ohhhh .. gorgeous!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25500366
BFL "Water's Edge" is my favorite
I bought Eowyn from Dicentra a couple of weeks ago and was so torn between that and Entwife, Deeply, Water's Edge, Eggplant and several others. I haven't spun Eowyn yet, but you can bet that after I do, I'll be back for more. Her colors are so gorgeous.
I really love both the Merino/Silk/Angora Spinning Fiber in Helms Deep Colorway and the Norwegian Woodaa alpaca lace. The depth of color is just lovely!
-cthulhulovesme on Rav
I love the Vernal and the Helms Deep colorways. The Alhambra Scarf pattern is beautiful! All of her colors are so deep and beautiful and yummy.
I love the Nova superwash sock yarn. Those are some rich colors!

I love the alpaca lace yarns. All of them! :)
Wow, beautiful roving! I love the merino/silk, and the merino/angora, and the BFL...I must have the colorway fungible molecules as much for the name as the pretty colors.
I love the Gust Scarf kit, and the Moondance colorway.
There are so many to choose. I love them all and have added the shop to my favorites so I can return later. My favorite, if I have to choose would be the Merino/Tussah spin fiber in Abalone colorway.
I absolutely love the color of the Alpaca Lace Yarn - Valentine!
I just love the BFL top in Stone Heart - how beautiful will that spin up??? :)
Ravelry ID - Melanie
Apparently I'm easily influenced. I love Damask (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24514785).
"Mazarbul" (merino/tussah top) is beautiful!
Right, Madame Phat Fibre, do I thank you or curse you for bringing this shop to my attention? Everything is so beautiful. Special mention to the merino/silk fibre in the damask and sedona colourways. I believe the correct expression is *squee*!
I think my favorite is the Merino/Tussah Silk Top in the Iris colorway.
I love the alpaca lace yarn in lava. So many yummies. It's always hard to pick just one.
I like these:
Merino Angora Spinning Fiber - Eowyn - 2.4 oz, Vernal, and Damask

The Norwegian Lace in Steel is in my cart just waiting for me to hit the magic button!
Ooo, I just finished spinning her BFL in the "Rust" colorway (similar but not identical to Rusty Nail), and it's gorgeous, and I can verify that it's lovely to spin as well. My favorites for sale on Etsy? Merino/Silk/Angora in either Stone Heart or Mediterranean. Gorgeous.
OMG! She has LOTR colorways!!!!! I want them ALL! Seriously. All. Of. Them.

I usually prefer more muted colourways, but I love the Merino/Silk/Angora Spinning Fiber in Pelennor Colorway - it's just so vibrant.
SewMammaLady sent us over from Craftster to check it out...Yum fiber porn..beautiful colorways!!
I love the Merino/Silk/Angora in the Pelennor colorway. So very vibrant!
I got some dicentra's BFL from NW handspun yarn in bellingham and I was in awe of how luminous it was...literally aghast. I am almost afraid to spin it because it is so beautiful.
masterful work.
not going to lie, I want this colorway just for the name alone: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22323865
i twittered about it: http://twitter.com/loudxmouse

Wow, the colors are amazing. She wasn't kidding about the beautiful colorways. There were too many beautiful colors to look at, but I'd have to say that my favorites were those 5lb balls of roving, just because. :) Oh, and the nerd in me gives a thumbs up for all the Lord of the Rings-related names.
Love the Tookish merino/tussah silk yarn! so soft looking & a great sheen.
Merino/Silk/Angora Spinning Fiber in Helms Deep Colorway stopped me dead in my tracks. It's gorgeous!
Oh, they all look so squishy and lovely to spin! My favorite (I had to have my daughter help me choose) is Eowyn.
I'm loving the Ancient Highway Merino. Yum :)
I very much dig the Gust Scarf Kit. I love the pattern and at that price, it's a steal!
I love the bright ones! Pelennor is so pretty. So is Mt Doom and Stone Heart.
