Now I will commence to astound and amaze you with WCMercantile's August offerings!
Can you even believe how incredibly gorgeous these samples are? Stephanie created the little boxes and dyed the milk the most beautiful strawberry-peach smoothie color I've ever seen.
I was completely blown away!
I am also blown away when I visit WCMercantile on Etsy. Visiting her shop is like getting a favorite catalog in the mail. You keep visiting, keep turning pages, keep thinking about all the beautiful things you could make with the materials Stephanie offers.
I feel truly honored to be giving away 4 oz of dyed milk fiber from WCMercantile! Just visit the shop, find something you like, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner on Friday!
Be sure and use your social networking skills to net extra entries! If you tweet, plurk, facebook, ravelate or blog about this giveaway and let us know you did, we'll add your name to the pot again!
Stephanie, you rock! That is all.
Wow! What a great selection of fiber!! It was really hard to decide on one item but I really love the bright sunny yellow 2 oz Dyed Yearling Mohair Rovings - FARM FRESH.
ReplyDelete4 oz Corriedale Wool Top - Maroon - Ships Free
ReplyDeletewould make great aggie socks!

I have recently drooled over her stuff, and am currently coveting the yellow Corredale and want to try dying my own silk hankies.
ReplyDeleteI can't resist a Mystery Bag!!! RTed @millarca
ReplyDeleteI love Steph's fibers and her great service, and the fact that you can get solid colors. Today is a *rainbow* day, the Rainbow Yearling Mohair Roving looks cheerful and yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love the Corriedale top in Sea Foam.
ReplyDeletepages and pages of choices! How can I pick just one? 2 oz Dyed Yearling Mohair Rovings in the blue/grey or the red/blue combo would be my choices if I am forced to choose
ReplyDeleteI think the mystery packs would be quite fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, her milk fiber is amazing but her dyed merino solids also look incredible. The look super light and not compacted at all--like they would be wonderful to spin! I would love to ply a couple of colors together just to see how they come out. The best part of her shop--she's from Navasota which is the tiny town in Texas where my Mom was born (and I live about 90 miles from there now).
ReplyDeleteI, of course, LOVE the prices! But I would also LOVE to spin up that soft and fluffy yearling mohair!!!
ReplyDeleteI've ordered from WC Mercantile probably about 1/2 dozen times and her stuff is always great quality and she's fast and reliable. I also love the free shipping. Also tweeted.
ReplyDeleteI've also ordered from WC Mercantile and love the service. The Strawberry BFL looks super to spin! You have lots of great stuff
ReplyDeleteWow great shop! Chartreuse Truce and Golden Yellow are beyonde amazing. The metallic fibers are nifty as well.
ReplyDeleteRt'd @autumnsflame
all of the corriedale looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29551353. It's such a great color!<3
ReplyDeleteI love this shop! I spent my spring contest winnings here - the prices are really great! I have 4 ounces of her yearling mohair that I haven't been brave enough to try to spin yet, but as soon as I figure out that I can do it, I'm getting some of her dyed mohair. And I would love to have her botanical dying kit - might just have to gift myself with that . . .
ReplyDeletei love the merino top in midnight. such gorgeous rich colors!

I love the "Straw Berry" BFL & the 3oz. mystery roving bag. What a great shop!
ReplyDeleteLove the Sky Blue Merino Top. So vivid!
ReplyDeleteI just finished spinning (yes, me!) one of the 3oz Mystery bags - and I loved it. Just about every day I go to the WCM etsy shop and drool over their stuff. I may be purchasing more of those mystery bags, since they were so much fun to spin up! I have one skein of blues/purples/pinks and one of yellows/reds/tans/creams...
ReplyDeleteI also love the indie dyed milk, and the Wensleydale makes me giggle irrationally (I'm a Wallace & Gromit fan). I may have to get some of that to make something for my husband!
RT'ed on Twitter @knitwithkt!
I love EVERYTHING in this shop! I love the all the colors... if only I could just buy out the whole shop... lol
ReplyDeleteThis is EASY! The Majacraft Millie! (:
ReplyDeleteoh, me, me, me! I've always wanted to try her organic cotton sampler.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's all so pretty. I like the verigated colors like the Bluejeans and the Deep sea and the Muscadine grape. Also linked you on Twitter and facebook.
ReplyDeleteMMMmmmm...the soft white pure cashmere. Just so heavenly and soft looking!
ReplyDeleteI think the mohair roving is very pretty, but the lure of the Mystery Bag really tempts me!
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love the 2 oz Baby Camel Down and Tussah Silk Top - looks sooo fun and soft!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the mystery bag :)
ReplyDeleteThis store is awesome!
Mmmm - it's all so yummy. I love the Indie Dyed Roving. I'm just learning to spin and I can tell I will be visiting this shop often!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the 4 oz of merino and tussah silk white, you can see how shinny it is and it would look great dyed. I also love the camel down with the tussah silk, 2 oz, it looks yummy
ReplyDeleteI posted the contest on my blog an on my facebook page.
ReplyDeleteGosh! This stuff is amazing! How does one choose? And then there are dyes, felting stuff, spinning wheels, luxury fibers,......... It's truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteI got to meet Stephanie's goats! I'm currently making a hat for a soldier from my homespun alpaca/merino blend yarn made from roving from The Mercantile. It's luscious!
ReplyDeleteThe teal tartan corriedale wool top is just such a lovely color! I had to pick it as my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLizbert on Ravelry
The Dark Garnet Merino Top is amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnd the popcorn boxes as fiber containers is a great idea!
Oh my, you are so right about her site. All the fiber looks so beautiful, I just want to touch all of it! I'm particularly drawn to the masculine colorways of Delta River Run and Cooperwood. Yum.
ReplyDeleteWow. There is so much. I love all that merino top, especially the color fenberry grove.
ReplyDeletehmmm! I love the dove merino wool top! it's lovely..
ReplyDeleteThe strawberry-peach smoothing milk fiber shown in the blog post is my very favorite.
ReplyDelete4 oz. Merino Tencel Top - Deep Sea -- that color blend just calls to me!
ReplyDeleteSo much fiber, and the wheels. I really like the midnight color way in the merino top.
ReplyDeletepixiefashions(@)hotmail.com
yearly mohair merino farm raised roving....yum! whata great selection and variety!! nice!
ReplyDeleteHow to choose... To spin some cashmere and merino or to dye silk cap. How about both.
ReplyDeleteI WANT THIS SO BADLY! Seriously, it's like a fiber drought on my front. I haven't touched anything soft and cushy and spinnable for months!
ReplyDeleteThe Mercantile has so many beautiful shades of blue, but Marina is definitely the one that pulled me in the most!
Count me down for
Facebook
Ravelry
Twitter
and Blogging!
Please, oh please, oh please!
I got one of those samples and it is AMAZING! It also matches a sample I got last month perfectly so I'm going to be plying them I think!
ReplyDeleteI really want that 3 oz Mystery Bag of Rovings, Tops, and Batts in different Fibers! It looks like so muc fun to play with!
I cannot stop looking at 4 oz. Indie Dyed Milk Fiber Top in blue and brown! It would be a DREAM to spin!
ReplyDeletemc.crafty.bunny at gmail dot com
Oh, that Deep Sea merino-tencel top is to die for! Thanks for thelink to another great shop.
ReplyDeleteThe felting wool artist samplers, of course! But if I were being practical, I would have to say the needles pack! Beautiful fibers-and I'm facebooking!!

Hazy horizon is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try milk fiber, but was completely distracted by the Farm Fresh Mohair roving. It would have to be the rainbow version so I wouldn't be forced to pick only one gorgeous color.
ReplyDeleteLots of nice fiber! I especially like the Shamrock Wensleydale Wool Roving :)
ReplyDeleteI am loving the Indie Dyed Milk Fiber both what is shown above and the blue/red/purple shown on her site.
ReplyDeleteWhile I would usually be drawn to the colorful rovings, I'm kind of digging the felting needles. Mm, the possibilities...
ReplyDeleteI love the silver-grey alpaca!
ReplyDeleteToo bad other countries than the US and Canada aren't listed...
Ive never tried spinning milk protein ,but would love to try! My favorite from her shop is the indie dyed milk fiber top - I really love the color!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely fiber but I most like the 4 oz. Merino Top Copperwood, makes me think of looking for chestnuts in the woods
ReplyDeleteThere's SO MUCH in this shop that I really want. I'm going to put one of their gift certificates on my Christmas wish list. The bigger, the better.
ReplyDeleteI love the Deep Sea Merino Tencel Top. It is so appropriately named, and just luscious. I can almost see a ship tossing about on stormy waves with just enough sunlight to add touches of light. Gorgeous! I think I am going to buy it now.
ReplyDeleteI've ordered before from WC Mercantile and I love her fiber. I probably come back for more merino mohair.

ReplyDeleteI have been drooling over all the beautiful things on their website - but I have to wait until after payday to order anything! Actually put it on the calendar as WC day. When hubby asked "Do I even want to know what that is for?" I just laughed! Marking off the days!
ReplyDeleteOooh! That gold/green/orange roving! *makes grabby hands* And the blue and red one is my college colors!

ReplyDeleteLove the blue, red, purple milk fiber, as well as the mystery bag of rovings.
Oooooo! My favorite is the Schacht Ladybug wheel. It's adorable!
ReplyDeleteI can't choose I item! I would love to try spinning merino or silk, or both combined.
ReplyDeleteBoy, it's hard to pick a favorite! I really like the 'boliver' BFL. I've been wanting to try that!
