I have been wanting to learn to spin forever now. I just never buy the kits to learn. This would be amazing.
I really like silver sun alpacas stuff. The Frosted Plum reminded me of my hair in high school and I absolutely love it.

I have a drop spindle, but no idea how to use it. The Tanzanite and Amethyst colorways are GORGEOUS!
I also a posted on my blog about the contest.

I really love the Spruce - Hand Dyed Milk Protein Fiber Top. I bet the colors would come together really nicely!
Tree Frog is delightful!
And yes, I really would like to learn how to spin!
The Tree Frog handspun is beyond exquisite & reminds me of my very most beloved White's tree frog, Charlie. <3 RTed @millarca
I really want to learn to spin so that I can make something like purple mist handspun. Just gorgeous.
I like this one:Tea Party - Handdyed, Custom Made Batt
I'd love to learn to spin. The PURPLE MIST - Pure Mohair Handspun Yarn is fab.
Love the tree frog
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, to spin with this yummy soft fiber. I love the pear green sampler. Please, oh please!!!
TULIPS - Hand Painted alpaca Yarn
I love the combination of orange and purple! I especially liked the inclusion of the painting that inspired the yarn. Great work!
The Frosted Plums Batt is gorgeous! I'm always a sucker for pink and grey.

I'm in love with the Frosted Plum. I actually have some fiber here...but have never bought a drop spindle. I know I need one. Someday I'd LOVE to have a spinning wheel.
The Pear Green sampler basket is gorgeous. That would inspire any one to want to learn to spin.

The natural brown alpaca yarn is gorgeous, the frosted plum is beautiful as well, would make a lovely yarn.
Woooow, there is some fantastic stuff in here! I had a really hard time deciding! I'm going to have to go with the Lavender Vanilla batt as my favorite.
Frosted plums! I'd really like to see what that would turn into as a yarn. It is part of the spider web collection, which also has some incredibly nice natural colors. I tried the Alpaca/silk medium fawn a while back, and wouldn't mind more of that either.
Another hard one... guess it's a tie between the Pear Green Sampler, Obsidian and Frosted Plums, I just love all three.
I love the PURPLE MIST - Pure Mohair Handspun Yarn and would really really love to learn to spin!

No doubt about it - PURPLE MIST - Pure Mohair Handspun Yarn rules!
I was thinking this morning that the last thing I needed was to learn how to spin. But...how can I resist the lure of such a giveaway? Kinda hope I win, kinda hope I don't LOL
There's much to like in the store, but I especially like the natural brown medium weight alpaca/silk from Ala. Absolutely gorgeous!

The tree frog handspun looks great. And I shouldn't but I'd love to learn to spin
You know what I love - PURPLE MIST - Pure Mohair Handspun Yarn! Just amazing.
I love the whole shop! But the Frozen Lake Spinning Batt really caught my eye.
I've had "learn to spin" on my to-do list for a long time now. Winning this would be a great kick in the you-know-what.

I love the 'tree frog' handspun...gorgeous colours.
I love the "frosted plums" batt and the "tanzanite" batt. While I already spin on a drop spindle, I want to teach my mom, so if I win the kit, it will be for her.
tree frog and salad bowl- lovely

So lovely!
I really like the tea party batts, they are so pretty!
I love the Tanzanite batts, as well as the Lavender Vanilla batts. We went down to visit a few weeks ago and I came home with 4oz of the Lavender Vanilla and some beautiful purple milk fiber. Oh, um, and some lovely alpaca silk. 0:)

I really like the Alpaca / Silk Roving, Light Fawn Natural colors. I usually like loud or dark colors but this just seems so soft and soothing.

Frosted Plums batt -the color is GORGEOUS.
I have fiber, (that I won as part of a contest) but no spindle, and I don't know how - but really want to learn!
The Silver sun Alpaca spindles look very very pretty, and the fiber is so yummy looking! especially the purple in the spinning kits (i think it's frosted plums) and the tea party too!
I am also coveting your tulips hand dyed as well!
The pear green is beautiful & the natural light & medium fawn is as well. Am trying... key work trying to learn how to spin, the drafting eludes me, am plugging away on it.
am rt as well, good luck everyone for giveaway as well as learning to spin!

What a great shop! I really love the look of the Tea Party custom made batt with Alpaca, Silk, wool, SW, Mohair & bamboo! The color & fiber combination is truly beautiful!
I love the Pear Green. I'm just learning to spin using a spindle and am in major need of fiber!
Well, you can tell what my favorite is! I just bought "Frosted Plums" with the GIVEAWAY discount code... ;)
I am awed with the offerings on SILVER SUN ALPACAS.
I am torn between PUT THE LIME WITHE COCNUT or the PEAR GREEN. One of them will be a birthday present for my daughter who is a green fiend. With her green eyes these will be a hit for sure.
Thanks for pointing out the site!
The Alpaca Top Sampler - The Spider Webs Collection is very much tempting me! Beautiful fibers!!
SOLIEL - 100 percents Baby Alpaca yarn caught my eye- I wish she had bigger spindles I have a small one but need a bigger(weightier) one.
I learned to spin on Ricky's spindles! Currently, I am in love with the pear green sampler and the frosted plums.
That Morning Glory batt is especially lovely.
whaaa!!! Such beautiful and simple colors!!! I just adore them all!!! They look soo soft and warm!

I would love to do one of the Silver Sun's Batt Clubs!
Oh, MY! What lovely batts they have. The mixtures are really nice. I cannot chose. They are all so lovely.
I just received my order of the Rose Garden Hand dyed bamboo. Gorgeous. I'm totally satisfied with it. I also like the Bamboo tops (undyed and Black carbonized). I would love to win a drop spindle kit.
I love the Morning Glory batt.
I am not well coordiated with tools so I am curious how this spindle would allow me to learn spinning!
