  3. Oh what a FABULOUS giveaway! The shining star in my Phat Fiber box one month was this beautiful little batt from Silver Sun Alpacas! It was full of super soft fibers, light blue with whitees and some sparlking goodness too. It was so pretty all spun up I kept it for myself :) I have also bought one of their drop spindle kits, love my wheel but so nice to have a good quality drop spindle in my stash! Currently for sale in their shop is this delicious looking batt with deep rich colors and again... sparkling goodness! Check it out! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26101943

  17. What a fantastic giveaway!! It was just too hard of a decision to pick one item. Everything has temptation written all over it. I still haven't tried milk fiber so I would choose that or anyone of her month clubs or one of those yummy batts. Yikes! Sensory overload!

    ReplyDelete
