Recently spun "tumbleweed batt" Fly Agaric
Congrats Saskia! She named my new wheel "Meadow" and I think it fits her really well!
I had Jennifer at Desert Garden create some wonderful batts for the Phat shop recently. If you haven't had a chance to spin her "tumbleweed" batts, you really should! The resulting yarns always come out so textural and earthy. I just adore her batts.
We're doing something a little different today. You can find go window shopping at either the Phat Shop where several of the Desert Garden Batts are, or you can pop on over to Desert Garden and tell me what you like over there.
Mention the giveaway on twitter, facebook, plurk or ravelry and we'll give you an extra entry.
We'll draw for the winner later in the week, so let's get shopping!

"Antique roses" is a beautifully subtle yarn. I like the fact that you've spun it out of something with a little 'crunch'.
I love all of her creations! I've already bought two SALs b/c I have loved seeing the yarns the other spinners have made from previous SALs. I also love her spinning is my bag kit - I told hubby he's buying me that for my birthday!!

This is my fav blog to check into by the way- and yeah for me naming the wheel!
I like this orange one
Goddess Sock yarn Krishna dyed by danido 400 yards and tea sample
I think the She thinks my tractor sexy John Deere green handspun yarn makes me think of spring. It is a mixture of snow and rain here in Alabama today. I am so looking forward to spring.
There are some really nice clubs and SALs in the shop, but the most tempting thing there is the SPINNING IS MY BAG Package. A great idea!!
Not only is the color great, but the name She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy is just awesome!

I think the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy batt is great!
i love the concept of a "knights and dragons" spinalong....very different!!!

Oh man. I would love the KNITTING GIFT PACK Dryad Yarn and Walnut Needles.
I just love the name "she thinks my tractor is sexy." and the colors too!
OMG! Want want want!!!
I'm a huge Rocky horror fan and that batt would go perfectly with the little Sweeny todd batt that is hiding in the goth portion of my stash hehehe
I really would love to be in the Knights vs Dragons spin-a-long if I wasn't so broke, my hubby is a dragon fanatic and I would love to make yarn just for him
ooOOoo - I really like the "She thinks my tractor's sexy" handspun. :)

Spinning Is My Bag! What a fabulous idea!!
Fly Agaric is my favorite! So much so that I bought 4 a few days ago along with a Bunnies SAL! That Murder Mystery SAL is looking so tempting too though!
HAHA! She thinks my tractor's sexy. Awesome! lol

The Hippy Dippy Rainbow is really pretty. But the tractor beads on the She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy is too much. Where do you find beads like that? Too cute!
omg i cant not enter to win a rocky horror batt! as far as a DG wishlist, i love the all of her SAL's! every one of them sounds awesome. i really like the "spinning is my bag" and i def wouldnt say no to that beautiful beatrix potter batt.
as an aside, I never get the notifications and it wont let me sign up again, who do i talk to about getting on the list? i want a phat fiber box so badly! :)
I am in love with the idea of the Elements KAL.
Tumbleweed is pretty
I love the SAL idea in particular the knights vs dragons,
Wow... I've never really considered doing a batt-of-the-month club until I visited the Desert Garden shop. The tumbleweed batts look great!
I love Desert Garden's Handspun Art Yarn Cult Classics Ode to Dr. Frank n Furter. Rocky Horror Picture Show is my favorite movie of all time and I can completely see how it was inspired by Dr. Frank n Furter!
how cool! i'd love to try my hand at spinning one of those batts. I like the colors in FLY AGARIC Beatrix Potter Inspired February Phat Fiber Tumbleweeds Batts. Thanks for the contest :)

Yum, LOVE the Desert Garden stuff! I'm almost done with the 4 SALs I've gotten from her (2 Star Wars and 2 Star Trek) and am on the list for more (Bunnies!). I also have the Elements KAL on my Favorites list...
I like the LIMESTONE Hand Spun Yarn SW Merino and Cashmere.
I love Robin's eggs nest tumbleweeds! just soo gorgeous!
I luv the FLY AGARIC Beatrix Potter Inspired February Phat Fiber Tumbleweeds Batts and of course the Rocky Horror batt!!
how could you not love a batt named after the beloved classic of Rocky Horror! (we worship that movie in this household, hubby has proudly played each character, grin) But i have to also love the She thinks my tractors sexy!!
love the name meadow. That is what i wanted to name my daughter but hubby vetoed it!
I love all of her clubs but my fav would have to be the Handspun Yarn 3 month club. I love to try others handspuns!
I love Beatrix Potter:FLY AGARIC
I love the "Fly Agaric" batt and the "She Things my Tractor's Sexy" Yarn lol :)
The Fly Agaric batt is lovely!
Jen

LMAO at the name of this one: "Cult Classics Rain Man Uh Oh Fart Batts"
Too Awesome.
So clever! I like FLY AGARIC Beatrix Potter Inspired February Phat Fiber Tumbleweeds Batt
Oh, gosh, I love. the. Blueberry Pancake yarn! Gorgeous colours and I've been looking for the perfect bulky yarn for a project in my longer-than-life-expectancy queue.
And now on top of drooling over the yarn I want pancakes....

Everywhere I go lately I've been seeing this red/black/grey/white color combo and remembering how much I love it. The Cult Classics Waynes World Batt 1oz by Desert Garden from teh Phat Shop is another great one.
The "Hippy Dippy Rainbow" batt looks interesting. I wonder what it's like to spin with all of those different things!

The ROBIN'S NEST Tumbleweeds Art Batts are really neat.
Other than the gorgeous Fly Agaric featured here I like the TEA ROSE Handpainted yarn

I am in love with Fly Agaric, beautiful colours.
Knights and Dragons SAL! I've been debating with myself even before this post whether to splurge and pick that one up ...
The Fly Agaric batts are really calling out to me, colorwise.
