I really love the Spruce - Hand Dyed Milk Protein Fiber Top. I bet the colors would come together really nicely!
ReplyDeleteTree Frog is delightful!
ReplyDeleteAnd 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
ReplyDeleteI really want to learn to spin so that I can make something like purple mist handspun. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI like this one:Tea Party - Handdyed, Custom Made Batt
ReplyDeleteI'd love to learn to spin. The PURPLE MIST - Pure Mohair Handspun Yarn is fab.
ReplyDeleteLove the tree frog
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhhhhh, to spin with this yummy soft fiber. I love the pear green sampler. Please, oh please!!!
ReplyDeleteTULIPS - Hand Painted alpaca Yarn
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteWoooow, 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.
ReplyDeleteFrosted 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.
ReplyDeleteAnother hard one... guess it's a tie between the Pear Green Sampler, Obsidian and Frosted Plums, I just love all three.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteThere's much to like in the store, but I especially like the natural brown medium weight alpaca/silk from Ala. Absolutely gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteI love the whole shop! But the Frozen Lake Spinning Batt really caught my eye.

Frosted Plums batt -the color is GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteI have fiber, (that I won as part of a contest) but no spindle, and I don't know how - but really want to learn!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteam rt as well, good luck everyone for giveaway as well as learning to spin!

ReplyDeleteI love the Pear Green. I'm just learning to spin using a spindle and am in major need of fiber!
ReplyDeleteWell, you can tell what my favorite is! I just bought "Frosted Plums" with the GIVEAWAY discount code... ;)
ReplyDeleteI am awed with the offerings on SILVER SUN ALPACAS.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
