The Ravelympics are winding down and I'm nearing completion on my project. My challenge was to take 8oz of fiber, spin it, and then knit the resulting yarn into a shawl. A sort of shop-to-shawl project. I chose to use Spincerely's 50/50 merino/tencel blend fiber in a gorgeous bright-yet-earthy colorway and I'm so glad I did! No pictures yet, so I had better stop talking about it, eh?
I'm seriously in love with Tamara's fiber! It's not just the fantastic blends (which are both shiny and soft-so yummy!) but her sense of color is just amazing. She seems to dye with finished knits in mind!
I feel so honored to be giving away this beautiful 4 oz of merino/tencel blend fiber in the most luscious purple you've ever seen! Just visit Spincerely, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing in a couple of days, so go now! Make sure to get those extra entries by letting everyone know about Tamara's beautiful shop!

I LOVE the "Superwash Blue Faced Leicester in Magellen". OMG, the color! I've never spun and would like to learn. I don't know how this was done, but it is beautiful!!! (Is that enough exclamation points for ya?) :)
I love the bright colors in the beehives and roses colorway of the merino/ tencel. All the colors are always fantastic!
All of her colors are great. But I faved Wishful Thinking weeks ago and have been oogling ever since.

The handspun Jade Stone is a beautiful color and makes me want to visit our local institute of arts which has a fabulous jade collection!
She has such gorgeous colorways! I particularly love the Magellan handspun. Wow!
Aphrodite is by far my favorite blend of colors! I think it would be perfect for a beginner, like myself.
I love the Wishful thinking roving. The colours are fantastic. I can't decide between it and the Beehives and Roses. I'm taking my first spinning course next weekend...I have a feeling I'll be back to this shop!
Whisper in the superwash merino/tencel roving is gorgeous!!
went back through her sold items and fell in love with the French Lilac, Golden Eagle, Rising, and Rejuvenate superwash Merino/Tencel blends. So beautiful!
RTed too! @owldaughter
(Also, my word verification is 'Strad', which amuses me immensely, as I am a cellist.)
Evidently, I'm amongst a bunch of bright color lovers, because I love the Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving in Wishful Thinking too! Perfect for Spring (or fall, or summer....)
I like Magellan handspun a lot
Loving the now sold Tiger Eye Twist. It's lovely. Spincerely's shop now is saved in my Etsy faves.
I am crazy about the Merino/Tencel roving Beehives and Roses gorgeous!
I love the WAVE superwash merino/tencel. So pretty.
I love the Superwash Merino in sport weight in the colorway of Dynasty.
I love the Enchantress fingering weight SW merino/bamboo yarn!
Jess
incredible- this one caught my eye Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving - Arrosa
P.S. this is the coolest blog ever
I really like the "beehives and roses" It's dangerous for me to visit Spincerely too much... I just bought two bumps of Juno the other day. God, I love Spincerely so much!
Wow - those are beautiful. I think my favorite is the Autumn Robes handspun. How luxurious is that!

The superwash merino/bamboo/nylon named Aphrodite is quite a lovely color.

Beautiful colors! I particularly like the SW Merino and Bamboo Fingering Weight Yarn in Enchantress. I love the color combination!
I was just visiting her shop earlier this week, and falling in love with the Merino/Tencel in Wave and Whisper. Both are gorgeous!!
Wave and Whisper in the Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving is beautiful and would be a good combo together for something wonderful.
Although I like quite a few of the items listed in Tamara's shop, I particularly favor the 145 yards of handspun "Robes of Autumn".
I love the Blue Dynasty merino sport weight yarn!
Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving - Arrosa is gorgeous!! I love the delicate mix of colors.
Love this color:
Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving - Wave
Enchantress entranced me immediately. I did like her handspun yarn in the novelty colors, but enchantress did it for me.
I love Beehives and Roses! Absolutely gorgeous!!
Wow, it's all so pretty! I think I like the Wishful Thinking best!

Oooh, the Epona handspun has completely stolen my heart. RTed @millarca
The Arrosa roving is my favorite... if I had to pick one! Love this shop!

Man you are right! She has color down! I love SW Merino and Bamboo Fingering Weight Yarn in Enchantress, that lime green makes my soul smile.
And the olive green with purple in Handspun Yarn - Magellan, 110 yards! WOW! And I was going to go on a yarn diet today!
I love the Magellan handspun. Yum
Handspun Yarn - Jade Stone is wonderful
I want all the roving that is listed! But if I have to choose one, it's Wishful Thinking.
I'm loving the colors in "Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving - Whisper". It's a lovely glimps of Spring
I kind of love how bright the wishful thinking roving is: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41005806
I'm new to spinning so I can't even imagine what it would become, but I certainly know it would brighten my day.
The rovings in Wave and Whisper are lovely!
I think the Enchantress fingering merino/bamboo hand-dyed would also be lovely in a small shawl!

The Magellan handspun is wonderful.
I love the Handspun Yarn - Magellan, 110 yards. So pretty.
Blogged about the contest at:

The Magellan colorway is beautiful.
Robes of Autumn is really pretty. Love the color combination.
I also love the Magellen.
The Jade Stone handspun is lovely
I've got to learn how to spin so I can make something like Magellan handspun.
I have my eye on the Wave and Whisper rovings. I just purchased Velvet Queen and Parvati last week- I'd better hurry up and spin them so I can justify buying more, lol.
I would so love to win this and finally learn to spin. The Magellan is my role model :-)
I see that I'm not the only non-spinner who wants to win and try to learn. The colors are beautiful. I love all the handspun yarns, especially the Handspun Yarn - Jade Stone
Handspun Yarn - Robes of Autumn is absolutely amazingly gorgeous. I may NEED that.
Beautiful!
My first order from Smokey Mtn Fibers is on its way and I am so excited to have found this group.
The Aphrodite colorway is amazing! Just so pretty. :D
I love that Wave colorway.
I think my favorite is the handspun yarn in the Happy Days colorway!
To drink coffee and wear the Epona handspun as a light cowl would be divine.
I love the merino/tencel roving in "Whisper"...really, everything is fantastic. I love bright colors! The Jade Stone handspun is also fantastic.
I love the Arrosa merino/tencel roving. Wow.
Love her bright colors! I think the merino/tencel in "Beehives and Roses" is my favorite. I have spun her merino/tencel once before and it was a dream to spin. In fact, it won me a Grand Champion ribbon at the fair last year!
These colors are so lovely! I quite like Aphrodite and Blue Dynasty! Merino-tencel drafts like butter, too. Nice!
Arrosa and enchantress merino bamboo are my favorites.
Magellan is definitely my fave. It's beautiful and interesting!
Count me down for twitter please!

The Robes of Autumn handspun is as lovely as its name.
Love the color blends!!! Especially the Aphrodite, Wave and Whisper. I can't decide which I like best. Really wish I wasn't on a fiber diet right now. :(
I love SW Merino and Bamboo Fingering Weight Yarn in Enchantress and the colors in the Beehives and Roses are just soooooooooo pretty.
Sue
i love the enchantress yarn! and the magellan roving.
I <3 the jade stone handspun!!!
I love the roving in Beehives and Roses and the yarn in Dynasty
I really love spinning up Spincerely's fiber. I think what's catching my eye the most is the Aphrodite merino/rayon bamboo/nylon blend, and I'm normally not a pinky-purple person.
I L O V E the Dynasty Superwash Yarn! So many colors!
I just finished spinning my Feb sample and it was wonderful to spin! it came out lovely too :)
Merino/Tencel and Merino/Silk are some of my favorite fiber blends to spin
It was hard to pick a fave because you always have the most gorgeous colors, but today I like your Wave colorway
I clicked on the site and said 'Ooooooo'! I love the beehives and roses colorway.
I so want that beehives & roses merino tencel roving . . .
The Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving - Wave
has really pretty colors.
Do I have to pick just one? I'm fretting because the budget won't let me buy everything I want.
If I have to pick one, I'd definitely go with Wishful Thinking (merino/tencel). I love those colors!
Sigh.....sw merino/tencel in Whisper..it's whispering my name :)

The SW Merino and Bamboo Fingering Weight Yarn in Enchantress is delicious looking! The green, purple and brown combination is truly enchanting and reminds me of candy.
The colors of Arrosa are so pretty!
The Superwash Merino/Tencel Arrosa is beautiful! Thanks for a chance to win. :)
I love Wave. And Arrosa. It makes me think of vacation. Winters are really long...
I like the "Beehives and Roses" merino/tencel roving.
the wave and Aphrodite are to die for
Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving - Wave is simply stunning!
I am in love with the handspun in this shop! The Magellan handspun is amazing - Love the color combo - it's awesome!1
I really love the Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving - Wave with its blues and greens.
NICE stuff! Just looking at the "Happy Days" yarn is a tiny pick-me-up, so I'm gonna have to call that as a favorite!
Her colors are simply wonderful! The Superwash Merino/Tencel Roving - Wishful Thinking reminds me of a warm summer's day just as it is starting to end. The Bundle SW Merino and Bamboo Fingering Weight Yarn in Enchantress would make a wonderful pair of spirited socks, reminding one that everyday is full of Magic. Wonderful Color Blends! <|:o)
