Desert Garden Farms SAL giveaway!



Wow! Another amazing giveaway from Desert Garden Farms! Jennifer is famous for her SALs! What is a SAL? It's a "Spin- A- Long" where everyone who participates is sent coordinating (either in theme or actual fiber) spinning fiber and as a virtual group, spins and post pictures to the specific group. Desert Garden offers small contests as a part of participating to make it more fun.

Here is what Jennifer has to say about her Star Trek SAL:

Art Batts.....the Final Frontier.

Four ounces of fluffy, out of this world goodness in the form of a Spin A Long with a Star Trek theme! Fibers will be a surprise but may include any number of breeds of wool, bamboo, banana fiber, silk or silk noil, ecospun, mohair, llama, alpaca, plenty of sparkle and who knows what else! If you have an allergy, please make a note on your order. I don't want to send you something you won't enjoy! If you are purchasing this as a gift, let me know and I will make up a little card for you to give so that your loved one knows what has been reserved for them.

Okay, so the details..... Spaces will be availalble until January 20th or they run out, whichever is first. Batts will be scheduled to ship on or about January 25th. You will have until Feb 28 to spin and share your yarn with the group over at Desert Garden Farms on Ravelry. Spin Long and Prosper!

We're giving away a Star Trek SAL slot! Just visit Desert Garden Farms, find something you like, and post it here in the comments section. We'll be drawing for the winner on Saturday, so be sure and tweet/facebook/ravelate for extra entries.

If you'd like to participate in this SAL, please contact Jennifer as I'm sure she would be happy to make room for you.

    Oh. My. Gawd.
    *dorkgasm*
    Ooooh, Minotaur tumbleweed batts? Yesplease. That's the mythological creature I would most like to do naughty things with. Is that weird? That's weird. I probably shouldn't have said that.

    The batts look great, but the themes! What fun!! If a subscription to the Cult classics club showed up in my stocking I would grin from ear to ear! And if I won a Star Trek batt, my husband (a professor who has been contemplating using the series as the basis for a course!) would end grinning!

I like the Dancing Snowmen Gift Package (sending a big hint to my family), the Sweet Pea Garden Club, the Rose Garden Club, the Sunflower Garden Club, the Cult Classic Club, the Star Trek SAL, Spinning Fiber plus Surprises, and the hand creams all look fantastic to me. This would be one stop shopping for my Christmas gifters.

    Well. I have already ordered my Star Trek SAL (x2) - so that's one thing I love! But more to the point, what's not to love? I've been coveting the Kraken for awhile - possible to put with the Skylla (now residing in my fiber stash waiting for something wonderful to happen to it).
