A few days ago, Celena from Rocket Yarn, told our Phat Fiber group that she would be going back to her former career as an Aerospace Engineer. Although we are all sad to see Celena go, we are equally excited about her new career path!
Rocket Yarn is having a wonderful sale! Celena will be dyeing the remainder of her stock and putting it up 20% off of her already affordable prices. Everything is moving very fast, so you'll have to act quickly!
In honor of Celena and her work, we're giving away this beautiful 4 oz falkland braid in deep, masculine colors. Visit Rocket Yarn, find something you like and post about it in the comments section below- you may look through her "sold" items as her shop is dwindling very swiftly.
We'll be drawing for a winner tomorrow!
Celena, we all love you and wish you the very very best!

Thanks for the love. Phat Fiber rocks! :o)
As soon as it thaws out a bit outside (seriously, i thought i lived in florida) I will dye up my remaining stock and get it up in the shop. The dye shed doesn't have a heater and this florida girl can't hand 20 degree weather very well. ;o)
The Meteor Shower Astrobatt is lovely, and if I hadn't alloted my monthly fibre budget to an order already I'd jump on it. Wish I'd had a crack at the Seawool pencil roving plasma dipped blue/purple/grey, and the green/blue mohair top...
RTed! @owldaughter
I love the handspun, but "Purple Planet" makes me giggle :)

I love the greens - I actually have a weak spot for Army Green :) The Meteor Shower Astrobatt is a lovely temptation as well!
The astrobats are pretty cool.
Spaaaaaaace Juuuuuuuuunk art yarn. It has to be said like that. In the Piiiiiigs Iiiiinnnnn Spaaaaaaaace voice. It's THAT epic. RTed @millarcat
I have a definite weakness for greens and I'm sorry I didn't jump on some before they were gone :( The brown, blue, and burnt orange worsted is GORGEOUS, though!
I am so sad to see Celena go. She has incredible things.
Right now I am coveting the Gemsations Lace - Merino Silk Lace Yarn - Plasma Dip Purple
like this one: Astrobatts - fiber based interpretations of views from space - Purple Planet by Rocket Yarn
I love the greens too. Dashing Diopside was lovely. I'm excited to hear that the shop will be updated once more before we lose Celena and Rocket Yarn completely!
The Roasting Pumpkin!!
I *love* the Astrobatts!
The color of the Superwash BFL Sock Yarn - Dyed in Plasma Dip Army Greens by Rocket Yarn is up my alley! What a gorgeous pair of socks that would make. Best of wishes Celena!
I love the Rocket Spun so pretty.Hugs Darcy
I really like the Space Junk!
I actually love the giveaway braid the most. Stunning!
The last of your Astrobatts. We will all miss you!
Awww, we'll miss you!! Good luck with your career!
Spaced-dyed BFL roving and the Atmosphere Astrobatts are so wonderful. I'll have to keep an eye out for the final dye run.
Love the Rocket Spun Purple Seawool--that's just gorgeous!
I love Celena's colors. I've been staring at the gemsations lace in Tender Topaz for some time and had to grab it before it was gone. It's beautiful.
Best wishes to Celena!!!
being a sock yarn junky, the Superwash BFL Nylon Sock Yarn - Limited Edition would be my choice. I am sorry I missed knowing about rocket yarn, but wish Celena the absolute best in her career!

BTW, I got to this blog (which is just AWESOME by the way) via punkjordane's ravelry group Fluffington Farms.)
Astrobatts!! Oh my! So great! I am planning on staying in all winter and shopping on Etsy and spinning! LOL!
Oooh I'd love to win this - it's just what I need to make a cowl for my husband! I love her worsted in blue, brown and orange for the same project. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
Lots of stuff is gone, but I like the astrobatts :)
The handspun Rocketspun in copper and pink is unbelievably beautiful.
Looks like the sale & the Phat Fiber love have just about cleaned out the current stock. But, looking at what's left, I really like the Rocket Spun handspun. Pretty colors, lovely looking yarn.
I'll have to check back when the rest of the remaining stock appears--I can't wait to pick a new favorite then!
i love the purple astrobatts vbarton24 at gmail dot com
I am a huge sock yarn fan.
So I have to say I am loving the deep and rich colors that the BFF Sock yarn takes.
SALE - Superwash Merino Nylon Sock Yarn - Plasma Dipped by Rocket Yarn
Is probably my favorite in the small but noticeable variations of the blues~ Very nice~ :D
Lovely! I put Astrobatts - fiber based interpretations of views from space - Purple Planet by Rocket Yarn in my cart...now to see if I have the funds. Good luck, and I'm sad to fond you just as you are leaving, Rocket Yarn!
No need to look through her sold items.. I adore the laceweight merino silk in plasma dip purple! I wish I had found this shop before now...and that my dh had a job so I could buy up everything she has left! :(

All of her fibers and yarns are wonderful-the depth of color she gets with dye is extraordinary, but the one above reached out and touched this "Monet girl" with the greens and purples!
its looking so smooth and soft i like them very much thanks for sharing this with us.
I loved the 4 Skein Satellite Set - too bad it's already sold!
The handspun Seawool is lovely, but what I really crave is that rovig in the blog post photo. Wonderful! We'll miss you Celena!
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the awesome work Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
