ReplyDeleteI really love the Five Plum Pie Handspun Yarn! It looks so soft & squishy and oh my, what a gorgeous colorway! There is some really beautiful fiber in this shop.
ReplyDeleteThe handspun worsted in Sour Fig is so very, very wonderful. I would buy it except that I have a spinning wheel on its way to me. Maybe someday I will spin something as lovely as that.
ReplyDeleteI love the Seafoam! But if I could chose one thing it would be the Rose Garden woven scarf because it's gorgeous & I can't weave...yet! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI immediately saw the Algonquin Hand Dyed Fingering Weight Yarn - Song of the Sea and got homesick. The coloring reminded me of Key West where I was born and my family home for 6 generations. I could look at thies color forever!

ReplyDeleteBFL Spinning Fiber - Trick or Treat
ReplyDeleteThis sample caught my eye because today (Jan 6) is the day for King Cake! This just needs some green (I got some from my Secret Santa!) to be perfect for the season! I may have to knit in a trinket to be completely authentic.
The colors in Jupiter Storm are incredible-so soft and delicate, but intense at the same time! And the Harvest Festival Shetland Wool Child's Scarf-amazing!

Beautiful stuff! I love the El Dorado Handspun!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to pick the Superwash Blue-Faced Leicester spinning fiber in Seafoam for my personal favorite. I've been wanting to give BFL a try, I've used merino until now. 4 oz is a nice size to start out with!
