Ambrosia and Bliss Giveaway!



As soon as I'm done with this post, I'm going to load up my shopping cart at Ambrosia and Bliss. I am participating in a swap and I think my person might really enjoy some of Rebecca's Rambouillet or some of the beautiful soft batts that she sent in for this month's Phat Fiber Box.

Speaking of those samples.. boy were they delicious! So soft, so delicate looking and the colors pretty much perfect! I think my favorite was the fire, though I rarely spin anything that looks like that color-wise, I can see it spun and knit up! Ahh creative vision/inspiration! It would be really neat to have that collection and incorporate all of the elemental colors into one project- a scarf, mittens a double dose might make a s shawl hmmm....

We're giving away this beautiful 4 oz braid of merino in a delicious blue raspberry colorway! Just visit Ambrosia and Bliss and find something you love. Post about it in the comments section below and we'll draw for a winner (probably tomorrow!!) be quick and make sure you use twitter/facebook to help spread the word!

Thanks so much Rebecca, for creating these lovelies for us, and for the charity work you've done with your shop ;)

  2. I loved the Ambrosia and Bliss January sample; the merino was incredible, and the Corfu colourway was so beautiful and spun up so smoothly. I'm currently eyeing Camouflage and Maize. Ooh, the Maize is even Rambouillet, a wool I've been meaning to try...

    RTed too! @owldaughter

    I'm normally drawn to greens and blues, but for some reason I love the looks of her fire batts and tropical fruit roving. If I had more money this month I would have bought the fire batt to compliment the earth one I got in my box as a sample.

    The number one item on my whishlist is FIRE from the Elemental Series. But I could quite easily be talked into buying the TEAL DEER Roving/Top too. Or SEAFOAM!
