Feeling Sheepish and *giveaway*



The October Boxes are winging their way to their owners and inside several there are some lovely milk samples from Feeling Sheepish!

Laura is on a mission- to procure a drum carder! I love spinning batts, so I want to help enable myself- errr, I mean Laura in this new adventure! She's having a wonderful 20% off sale! Just mention her quest for a drum carder in the notes to seller.

Laura's fiber are so yummy! Beautiful mulberry silk, soft milk fiber and pretty wools. I really like all of the darker neutrals she offers!

We're giving away a 2 oz braid of beautiful luminescent mulberry silk spinning fiber! Just visit Feeling Sheepish, find something you like, and write about it in the comments section below. If you go the extra mile and twitter, ravelate, blog, or facebook about Laura's shop, we'll count that as a second entry- just let me know you did it! You have until Friday!

    I absolutely love the milk latte in the wedding sari colorway. Stunning!

  19. What does one make out of a yarn like Walden? I am a complete sucker for 2plys with shifting colors, but any project I can think to make would just obscure how beautiful the yarn is.

    RT'd you from my Twitter, btw. (Brienze)

  20. Love the black carbonized bamboo top!

  23. I loooove the magpie mulberry silk roving.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I adore Laura's work. Her colour sense is so evocative. My past faves include Granite, Autumn Sunset, and Sparkling Gems. Of the current colourways, I love imagining what I could do with Cafe au Lait.

    I plugged Feeling Sheepish in the comments to my blog last night, but I don't suppose that counts. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hee -- just tweeted my love for the Feeling Sheepish shop, too. She deserves that drum carder!

  37. I love Feeling Sheepish's shop! I've bought several things from her and her colorways are even more gorgeous in person than on the screen. She really goes the extra mile with special requests too! I haven't gotten brave enough to try spinning silk yet, but her Magpie color way is fantastic! I also love Napa Valley . . .

  44. I'd been sitting out for a while after winning a couple giveaways, but it is definitely time to get back into the fray!

    I was just about to comment on the Cafe au Lait milk latte fiber roving when Vickie's comment caught my eye. Last Rose? Did I miss something? So back I went, and now I have two faves (really about a dozen).

    Posted on Facebook in the spinning group I belong to.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I've been having a "thing" for blue fibres lately... so I've got to say that Magpie is definitely a winner for me. Maybe I'm already getting into a winter sort of mood... (and I might just have to go back to the shop and splurge a little...)

    Email is bc.foisy@hotmail.com

    fingers crossed!
