Out of the September box, Shearlock chose to go investigate Diana, of Fiber Fancy. Her samples were beautiful, generous, soft, and had a neat legend attatched, which was befitting out theme.
Rather than narrate Shearlock's trip to NY, Diana took several pictures and has shared them with us. First was Shearlock at a fiber festival where he helped in both the Fiber Fancy and The Critter Ranch booths. Next, Shearlock was found investigating Diana's 30 lb fiber shipment!
After he watched over Diana's spinning, he took a little time for some 'r & r' and went sightseeing and of course, had to inspect the Llamas- who were a little standoffish, probably because they aren't used to Shearlock's "alternative" woolstyle.
Shearlock would like to thank Diana of Fiber Fancy, for being such a gracious host! He's back home now gearing up for another trip!
We're giving away a beautiful 2 oz Fiber Fancy "Maid of the Mist" batt to a lucky commenter! Just visit Fiber Fancy, find something you like, and write about it in the comments section below. We're drawing for a winner on Friday, so be sure and take time to visit!
Remember, we will be counting your extra social networking as additional entries- just let us know you did it!

Violet memories! again perfect for my project!
I love the Falkland in Fury!
Hand Dyed, 4 ounces, Merino Wool Combed Top, Roving in Mellow River
Hmmm, not my usual colors, but it really struck my fancy
(sorry couldn't help the pun)
I like the Wishful Thinking roving.
I love those colors.
love that picnic love color !! (Playing in the Kettle, Hand Dyed, 4 ounces, Merino Combed Top, Roving, in Picnic Love)
The handspun with coils and beads is awesome. My favorite of the colorways- the batt "Reserved for knittinaddict... in Melons, Local Alpaca, Merino and more". It looks delicious.
Lovely stuff! I think my faves were the Mile High and Autumn Sunset batts.
This is *so* not my usual style, but I really love the Ruckus colorway. I also like the Fury and Citrus Eye Candy colors.
If I had to pick just one, it would be Falkland in Fury. With additional budget, I would also go for Punta in Stormy Skies.
this one really caught my eye--
Hand Dyed, Carded 2 Ounce Textured Fiber Batt in Beach Towel, Alpaca, Merino and more
MMMM! I love "Toil and Trouble" but there are many good color combos there!
Ooooh, I'm in love with the "Natural and Hand Dyed, Carded 4 Ounce Textured Fiber Batt Set in Just the Locks"!
What an adventure Shearlock went on. Love the pictures!

Fury is a real eye-catcher! Lovely braid. And I'm drooling at the Mile High batt as well. So dreamy!
Fiber FAncy does lovely work in pastel colorways, but the Crazy Funk textured batts really caught my eye.
Stormy Skies and Fury (Falkland) are the far and away favorites. Looks like I'm in some kind of "mood" today! As a very new spinner, I must thank you for introducing me to lots of fun places to find fiber.
I love Falkland in Fury!!!
I think my favorite in the shop is Soft Candy Corn -- but my favorite overall is Maid of the Mists! It was one of my favorite samples this month!
And I tweeted. :-)
I asked my brother which one he liked, and he said he likes "fury."
Because it is soft and "goes around."
I love the playing in the kettle sunburst roving! Such pretty fall colors :)

Oooh, the Spring Explosion art yarn is everything I've ever dreamed of!!!! RTed @millarca
I love the Fallen Leaves colorway. It's beautiful!
Ok so I don't even know where to start!!! Shearlock has done it again with such a great choice. I also made the mistake fo looking at it while my daughter checked it out over my shoulder.
I'm in love with the Rainbow Sherbet (my fav ice cream!) and the Tutti Frutti Faulkland. I also really like the Painted Desert Spun.
The daughter oohed and ahhhed over the Now That's Pink but then couldn't decide because she really also liked the Nubbly Gems.
She does a really "Striking" (hah - I know, I'm not funny - but iliked that one too) job with her colors. I feel xmas shopping.....
Not to be boring, but I love the smooth batt that is just Charcoal. It's just such a gorgeous natural color that I can't help but admire it.
Lizbert on Ravelry
I love the Turning Times batt.
monkalicious at Rav
Her mohair combed top in Fallen Leaves is yummy!
I love fiber fany's roving - have several in my stash! Lavender and Mints in both the merino and the mohair are yummy!!!
I love the rainbow sherbert! It kind of reminds me of cotton candy. I could eat it all up :)
wow. it's all gorgeous :-)
but i especially like the yearling mohair rovings. and i just can't even choose a favorite colorway. lol
I like the mile high batts.
Big surprise--I love the rainbows. My faves are the yearling mohair in Rainbow Sherbet and the punta in Vibrant Rainbow. They both make me happy!
Love the natrual Oreo Llama fiber! I have never worked with llama... what a beautiful set of batts to start with!
I will twitter and FB this too!

I love Now That's Pink and 80s Flashback! Beautiful things!
Imagination really started my own aspinnin'.
hard to pick, but stormy skies inspires me...maybe todays weather has something to do with it as well! grin
Hand Dyed and Carded 4 Ounce Smooth Fiber Batt Set in Violets is my favorite! The colors are amazing together.
The Under the Sea merino roving. Very pretty!
Stormy Skies Punta roving
Tutti frutti looks so delicious I could eat it for suppa.
I've been a fan of Fiber Fancy for a long time. I just love her roving. I really like Picnic Love.
Love the Purple Rain textured batt! Oh, and the Spring Explosion with Pretty Pearls is awesome too!
Love the Mile High batts! I seem to be on a batt kick lately...

Our winter appears to be arriving early in this part of the country, Mellow Mentos would work up nicely into my next neck warmer, the colors will change my mood on these dreary days..
Barrel of Wines and Painted Desert... absolutely beautiful.
I love Hand Dyed, Handspun, Art Yarn, Punta and Mohair in Miami Vice 2

I love both the Fallen Leaves and the Vibrant Rainbow colorways.
I'm enjoying the Punta combed top in Stormy Skies. Yum!
Fallen Leaves is my favorite because it reminds me of the October day my husband and I got married!
All the Falklands batts were lovely (Falkland is a favorite of mine to spin) but the Yearling Mohair Combed Top in Stormy Skies caught my eye. The colors really are those found in stormy skies, and I could almost smell the rain coming toward me as I looked at the fiber. And it looks so soft...Beautiful!

Just love the soft colors of the autumn sunrise batt.
Alpaca Yarn in Candy Stripes is so cute-or maybe some fiber? Decisions decisions
