I am a proud owner of some Nightfall sock yarn by Fibro Fibers (in Lime Green in case you were wondering). This stuff is to be coveted. I am hoarding it, waiting, waiting for the perfect pattern to pop up for this yarn. When I find it, it's going to be wonderful seeing the color change from bright green to black!
Dye diva, Jen Hintz has developed a unique way of dyeing this yarn so that the gradation from black to color is subtle yet bold with a stippled star-like effect. It's quite amazing, which makes this yarn extra special. I'm featuring it toady, while there is still some available on her site- they have previously been hard to snag, so if you're interested in trying it out, my suggestion would be to pounce now!
We're giving away this beautiful Nightfall sock set (yes you can have matching socks!) in WINE (sold out on the website) to a lucky commenter. Just visit Fibro Fibers, find something you love, write about it in the comments section and we'll draw for a winner later in the week. We want to reward your extra facebooking, tweeting, ravelating, plurking or other social networking with extra entries in this giveaway, just let us know where you've done it!
Thank you so much, Jen for sharing your sock art with us!

OMG, I've never met a Fibro Fiber I *didn't* like! Right now I'm coveting some of that Nightfall in Lime and in Ultramarine. Scrumptious!
Oh, & I Re-tweeted your giveaway.
i LOVE the Ivy!! and the lime is nifty too!!
Saw this on twitter rt by velma and I am going to retweet too!!
Those sock yarns are beautiful! I especially like the soft pink and the olive. Just retweeted, too!
I like the Nightfall in Robins Egg Blue, Cyan and Hot Pink. Gorgeous!
Jess
I love the Glimmerino in Amethyst. Gorgeous color and I bet it feels so lovely!
I've retweeted also.
What fun yarn! I clicked through to her Etsy site, too, and fell in love with the yellow and peach South African Fine Wool. YUM.
Oh i love this!

Spectrum is lovely!
Ooooo, I have missed this site until now! Fab colors, I'm digging Key Lime :)
I am going to have to snag some Nightfall sock in ultramarine- my bf is digging on it!
The twisted yarns are really neat!
I'm loving on the Hot Pink Nightfall sock yarn. I can just imagine having socks like that!
Not available right this minute but I could only hope for one of the purples or deep turquoise in the Nightfall line, gorgeous!
LOVE the "Nightfall" yarn in copper and hot pink!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I love them all, but especially the key lime colorway!
The Nightfall is beautiful...
as is the Super Sock in Refreshed!
Nice yarns...
I follow Jen_hintz so I will for sure retweet. I have finally found a pattern to make a sweater vest from her Nightfall, and am saving to buy it. I'm eyeing her blues with each new batch. been see her first testing.
Winning it would be so awesome.
Ooo! I love these! I like the key lime, and the olive, and the mauve, and the robins egg blue, and pistachio, and deep teal, and wine and cyan.. wow, I don't even know which one I want!

oh wow those are all awesome. I think I love the bottle green and the deep teal so much. Really awesome.
What a clever way of dyeing! Soft pink would be great, so would robin's egg blue. Actually, it looks like any color would be big fun to knit socks with.
(also retweeting)
Wow, talk about coveting! That lime was calling my name.... "Julianne, knit me into socks!" >;-)
It's all so pretty! I love the Robbin's egg and the Bottle Green
This is the first time I have visited this site. wow,I love this yarn, robins egg sock set, OMG!
I love the Cowardly Lion colorway, but which yarn to get it in? Hmmm, perhaps all of them? Why not!
I love the Wine and the Violet colorways. And the fortune cookie I got this week says ""Focus on the color purple this week to bring you luck". :-) So, I'm focusing on it!
Buttercup is my absolute favourite!
Oh wow, that is GLORIOUS sock yarn. I know what my next big yarn buy is going to be...I like the Nightfall yarn in copper. My favorite color.
The cherry is stunning!
Oh, I love just about everything from her! I'm kind of bummed right now because the Wine colorway is sold out.
No way! This stuff is Gorgeous!!! I pick Ultramarine, no, Midnight Blue, no, Ivy, I just don't KNOW. No, its the Ultramarine, for sure.
OMG!!!That Nightfall yarn is awesome!!! If I don't win I am going to get some!Yum! I particularly like Butterscotch.
The Nightfall in Copper and the Wine are my absolute favorites, but everything FibroFibers is faboo!
Wow. That looks like incredible stuff. Have you seen this project on ravelry, done in Zauberball? I love how this turned out: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/schmollfisch/in-the-pink
I love how she has sock sets, and full skeins. I think it'd really pop in a full skein pattern though. Maybe Haruni? Anyway, I'd be hard pressed to choose a color if I had too - I love the key lime colorway, the olive, the magenta, the ivy, the mauve. Really, I'm just a sucker for color, and they're all there. The deep teal would be perfect for a friend of mine.
What an awesome giveaway!
tweeted it too:

The violet is gorgeous!
Nightfall in Mauve is divine! And love George-Laguna too!
I love Olive and Mauve. I love Wine too!
I'm so glad I checked this site out! Fibro Fibers nightfall colorways are awesome! I especially love lime, pistachio, and buttercup. What an awesome idea!
love the periwinkle!!
Amazing stuff! Ultramarine is my total fave!
I can't believe I have missed this site.
Will be tweeting this as well.
Wow...must have some...the wine and deep teal are my favorite.
monkalicious on Rav
Every colorway is gorgeous, but I'm plotting to get my hands on some Cowardly Lion laceweight - I love golden browns and a shawl from that would go with almost anything! And socks to match...and maybe a hat...
Marlitharn on Ravelry.
Ooo, I just discover this (thanks to you!), and the colors I'd love to have are all sold out... I think I may have to join the mailing list.
Such delicious yarn it's hard to pick a favourite.
I love the Nightfall in Midnight Blue and Periwinkle and the Woolpaca in Marigold would be wonderful for some really warm socks.
Opps forgot to say I tweeted
https://twitter.com/EVA_n_essence/status/12867068096
Oh goodness a new yarn to lust after! I like the copper and magenta colors and the pink sock set is also quite nice!
I like the Ivy color best. Thanks for introducing me to this yarn. I had never heard of it before.
This is the first I have ever seen this yarn, but I am pretty sure I have found a new obsession for me. How could I have missed this for sooo long. Soon as next pay day comes around I am snagging a couple of skeins! : )
These Nightfall yarns are so cool!! I can already see the scarf or shawl I wanna make with one.
The Violet and Ultramarine are my favorites. Lately I've been craving colors that 'pop'! The gradual 'black' adds a wonderful effect.
Cool my word verification is 'forkyzy'...sounds like an actual word! Or, some strange cuss word.
Stunning!! I love yarns with long color changes, I think that's why I like handspun so much hehehe
It was really hard to pick a favorite color, but I think the Teal would make an absolutely gorgeous shawl! I wish I could figure out how you dye it, it makes my brain hurt thinking about it lol
and I love that part of the money goes to a good cause, one of my friends has fibro too!
Among the Nightfall yarns, I especially like the transitions to black from ivy, olive and midnight blue. Or wine, or deep teal. All the darker colors, really. I could also close my eyes and randomly pick a glimmerino skein, not worrying for a second that I'd be unhappy about the choice.
Love that it's for a good cause, too. :)
I got a giggle out of Can't Miss it Green and of course my eyes went right to the hot pink nightfall.
I want the Midnight Blue Sock Set, but it's all gone! Love 'em all!

Uhm... guess it's a tie between copper and periwinkle Nightfall yarn
Oooh, hard to decide a favorite, but I do especially like the Nightfall Buttercup :)
notacat at rav
I am in love with Nightfall Mauve!
This is an amazing dye job. I like the teal to black transition. I imagine this would be really fun knit up as a shawl.
Lizbert
I can't decide which colors I like best! I like the nightfall yarn in violet and teal.
I love the nightfall in Ivy.
Beautiful!!! I've been intrigued by really long colour changes for a while now. These are fabulous. Mauve is irressistable.
Love the bottle green and the ivy!
I love the nighfall sock in Robins Egg blue (actually, I love the nightfall in any colour)!
I love all the Nightfall colors, especially Buttercup! I hope to win!
StaceyKnitsIt ravelry
What great dying! When I saw the Soft Pink, I thought it was perfect for a scarf for my sister to get her out of pale pink only. Then I saw the Robin's Egg Sock Set and want it for ME!
They are all awesome. But my favs are the blue colourways.
LOVE that Nightfall in Copper! Matches my name. I think I need some socks out of that!
Penny
The nightfall socks in Battle Green is neat.
I love all the Nightfall yarns, but I especially like the Mauve and the Periwinkle! Jen makes such lovely yarns!!
I really love the Nightfall yarn - Ivy. Soooo beautiful!
mugginskate on ravelry.
Um, I NEED some of the Midnight Blue- and I have yet to knit a pair of socks!
I like nightfall in copper!
amazing colors! something about buttercup and robin's egg i find alluring, even tho pistachio, wine and deep teal would be more my normal thing ... guess i'll have to start a collection! ;)
retweeted to share the fiber-love!
Wow! I wonder how this is dyed. It is so fascinating. I like all the colors, especially the ones that are sold out. My usual dilemma. I went to her etsy site too, and I like her roving. It is not this gradated dyed stuff, but I like the two colors she had.
I love all of the beautiful colors in the Nightfall yarns. These are the colors I usually migrate to when choosing yarn. It is such a hard decision to choose a favorite.
I like Deep Teal, Robin's Egg Blue, Ivy, Soft Pink. I could name almost every color as a favorite.
The hot pink is awesome!
-bookwormdjibouti on Rav
I am loving the Ultramarine color!
as everyone is saying, all the colors look stunning. i love ultramarine as a sock. that would just be.....gorgeous!!!!
will have to check back during an update!
i have been looking at them all bookmarked even! i so want the turquoise to make a shawl!
All of the Nightfall colors are so beautiful...my favorite is the Robin's Egg Blue...the gradations in the color promise to be a treat!
I also re-tweeted your contest:-)
The Nightfall yarns are gorgeous, and I also love the Glimmerino in Evergreen. I like how generous the yardage is in these yarns.
I just saw a post yesterday on Ravelry about this "covetable" yarn and how hard it is to get your hands on some. The bottle green and midnight blue are both gorgeous!
There isn't one of the Nightfall colors that I don't like. I will be starting with Cyan first though. Love them! The Simple Shawl that was done with Nightfall is amazing!
Fabulous yarns! My favorite is the "Nightfall Yarn - Midnight Blue".
The Hot Pink Nightfall and Lime Green Nightfall are wild. I will definitely have to try some.
The Nightfall Copper is fantastic!
- Allison
Wow... those are some amazing colors... Midnight Blue, Wine, Teal are among my favorites but really, every single colorway is awesome ^_^
Will FB/plurk and tweet this now ^_^
Ultramarine is stunning!! (nak)
Look at that midnight blue! it's just gorgeous!
Just tweeted; I'm on twitter as Astroknots
These are so gorgeous and socks are my favorite thing to knit! I love the Robin's Egg Blue and the Wine>
Love the Nightfall in Cyan!
Thanks,
kimberlybreid at hotmail dot com
Do i really have to pick just one? I love them all
Ok, ok, the bottle green!
Wow...what gorgeous yarn. I have never seen it before. I love the deep teal. Off to bookmark the website!
I love fibro fibers colors. I'd love to know her dying secrets.
Hey, that's really creative! Of course, I like the rich, sold out colors like Ultramarine, Wine, and Midnight Blue. Of the stuff that's in stock, I am really drawn to Copper.
That is some seriously cool dyeing process!
I am loving the cyan, robin's egg blue and the hot pink! Oh, the violet and periwinkle are probably my favorite, though...
I will have to book mark this site for future indulgence.
the key lime is lovely!
I love the Melissa colorway in the Glimmerino line. Also, the shawl in her patterns was beautiful. patsycoats@bellsouth.net
i folow Jen on twitter and face book, but always seem to late for the red to black, purple to black or dark blue to black. well maybe I will win some.
I love the robin's egg and midnight blues. Also the Ivy.
must...have...robin's egg
OMG! My roller derby's team colors are green and black! I NEED the Key Lime and the Bottle Green. Holy crap this site is awesome!
Me, me, me!!! (Hand waving in the air)
I have a new group on Ravelry that Jessie kindly joined, Magic Wand Spinning. I have 2 posts and Phat Fiber Sample box is in both.
I've never heard of this yarn but I'm in love! I'd be thrilled to be entered into this contest.
I love how the colors are so vibrant, I like the Robin's Egg Blue and the Key Lime!
Pistachio please
I like the Deep Teal color. I think this yarn would be a lot of fun to work with for those who don't always love pooling.
I also tweeted the contest :)
knitmit on rav, twitter
Ooooh - just a bit smitten with the 'Ivy' Sock Set. But it's sold out!
These nightfall sets are so amazing!! What a great idea. I love the Mauve colorway and the Olive :)
Wow, it was hard to pick just one. I love the violet, the magenta, and the lime. I could really go on and on. Thanks for the chance to win!
I've totally fallen for all the Nightfalls but I especially love the wine, lime and teal colorways :) They literally take my breath away! Oh, and I love the shawl pattern too :)
PS am posting on facebook and all over rav about this contest, more fool me for diluting my chances ...LOL
I don't know how I've missed this site until now. I love the wine and the copper colourways a lot. Although that said, I didn't see any colours I didn't like.
I don't dislike any color so far. But I fell in love with Magenta and Ultramarine!
I had never seen or heard of Nightfall before and I'm totally in love, especially with the Ultramarine!!! What a fantastic effect!!!
i'm loving the nightfall in copper and ultramarine...and wine....and deep teal....
this is a really gorgeous concept on sock yarns!!!
-oonaghfibersmyth on ravelry
I LOVE the Violet and the Robin's Egg Blue. (Tho they ALL are amazing colors!)
Mmm, I love the Ivy, Violet, and Pistachio... actually, I love all of them! Gorgeous.
:)
I LOVE the Copper Nightfall yarn, and the Bottle Green sock set is awesome...but really, there isn't any color that I wouldn't love to have...
I love the copper nightfall and the bottle green sock set, but I'd love any color...too pretty
I love the Hot Pink and Cyan yarns! So pretty for summer!
I love all of it, but especially the Ivy and the Robins Egg Blue.
Great website! Your nightfall is very interesting. I would pick hot pink or deep turquoise for sure!
Nightfall in "violet"!!! *swoon* but I want the 2 sock ball version of it. What a cool color idea!
Knitmomma (at) gmail (dot) com
I love the Ivy colorway!
Ooh I love the Ultramarine or the Bottle Green. Thanks for introducing me to this new yarn.
Oh man, I love ALL the Nightfall colors! If I was knitting for myself, I think I'd choose Cyan or Key Lime. For gift knitting, I think I'd choose Copper or Wine.
(And I tweeted the giveaway!)
I'm not much of a sock knitter, but the WINE colorway seems like a natural for me, doesn't it? ;)
Your colors are just gorgeous. I suspect that every time I visit, I'll have a different favorite. Right now that Periwinkle is grabbing me....
I think the bottle green is so pretty! But the Glimmerino yarns are just lovely too!
Absolutely loving the Midnight Blue and Ultramarine! I had not heard of this yarn before now - thanks for the introduction.
greyowl (rav id)
Took me a minute to figure out what the difference was between the sock sets and full skeins. Since I'm a two at a time knitter, I really LOVE the idea of sock sets! I really love the bottle green and the wine.
How cool! I've never seen anything like it before. All the sock sets are sold out, but I'm going to have to stalk them and see if I can get a bottle green set. :)
This is just genius yarn, and the pattern for the shawl she has is perfect!I love the Nightfall in Midnight blue,Wine, Copper, Ivy...alright, I love all the colors! I also loved the Heirloom lace in evergreen, the SuperSock in Partly Cloudy and the Glimmerino fingering in Amethyst-that would make a stunning shawl!
I've tweeted, plurked, facebooked and blogged - guess I'm really loving this Nightfall!
Love the Lime Green Nightfall, perfect for a Spring Knit!!
These are really interesting. I really like the mauve and the bottle green.
Wow - Robin's Egg Nightfall Sock Set, you will be mine someday. Stunning, stunning, stunning!
Melanie on Ravelry
Sitting here drooling over the "Magenta". What can I say? I'm a sucker for pinks (and purples, and blues and greens.....). Oh crap, I just came across "Soft Pink", I don't think I can handle it... :)
I love that Periwinkle Nightfall yarn!
Ultramarine. All the way! Or maybe Cyan...
I can't decide. I need both.
PS:
I've blogged for a second entry!
I am in love with the Robins Egg blue colorway!
I SOOO need nightfall in Ultramarine! Yum!
Mmmmmmmm...
Deep Teal or Bottle Green? Or both! I have never knit with this before, but I have a feeling I'd absolutely love it.
- triedandtrue on Rav
Ooooohhhh, my eyes savor the deliciously rich wine colored yarn with unending happiness. It is a taste of heaven I would love to knit and to wear. Luv it to infinity and beyond!
