New to the Phat Fiber Phamily is Adrian Day of Knittink. Adrian has a wonderfully creative shop where she bases her fiber and handspun on graphic novels and other comic characters. I have to admit, I am not schooled in many of the graphic novels or characters, but I do know beautiful handspun when I see it!
This month, Ady sent in some very pretty 'Poison Ivy' fiber samples- a luscious 50/50 sw merino and tencel blend. The resulting yarn is so satiny smooth and soft! If you've been wanting to try spinning tencel, this is a good stepping stone to dip your toe into. And look at her colors!! It sounds awful, but I really could just eat this 'Poison Ivy' colorway :)
We're giving away 4 oz of 'Poison Ivy' to a lucky commenter! Just visit Knittink, find something you like, and we'll be drawing for a winner tomorrow. Remember to include where you did your extra social networking (plurk, ravelry, twitter etc) to gain extra entries.

I like the bright blue Ravenclaw fiber. Beautiful!
Ok, I love everything Ady makes, honestly. I own some of her Iceman handspun, and it is so so beautiful! I can't wait to see her other new Daria colorways, and I totally love the handspun in her shop right now, especially "If Black Canary were a Disco Barbie" and "Ice Queen."

The Ravenclaw looks so calm and peaceful....ahhhhhh! Ravelry rocks!
Captain America is so bold - love it! Reposted on tumblr: http://spindlespun.tumblr.com/
Mad as a hatter is really nice and uniform. I think I like it best.
The Nightcrawler handspun is my favorite!
Ironman vs. gryffindor made me laugh (and I like the colors)!
Oh man! I LOVE the geekery-inspired names and colors! That is so right up my alley!
My favorites are Iron Man vs. Gryffondor, Wonder Twin Powers Unite, and Daria! Na na NA na naaaaa....
I love White Queen and Ice Man - guess I'm in a solid pale mood today. Fun shop.
I really love the colors of Poison Ivy and I really want the Daria inspires roving, I was a huge fan back in the day. I also want the white queen handspun! Can you tell I love her stuff?!
I am in love with the Cheetara, Thunder-Thunder-THUNDERCATS-Hoooooooo, Handspun Yarn. What a brilliant color.
The WonderTwins Power: Activate! yarn is a riot! :-) Love it.
(And I found out about this contest on Ravelry ;-)
The Mad As a Hatter Handspun is rocking my world - I think I'm in love with yarn!
I think the poison ivy is by far mt favorite.
Hmm, Poison Ivy, Captain America handspun and the Mad as a Hatter handspun are all delish!

I LOVE the Poison Ivy. And the theme of superheros and villians is so fun.
Ice man, Ice Queen, Poison Ivy! Do I have to choose just one?!
Love poison Ivy..such a pretty colorway
I LOVE Poison Ivy AKA Pamela Isley. Beautiful work!!
I love the nightcrawler handspun.
Nightcrawler, Handspun Merino and Alpaca Yarn, Oops Not only great yarn, but an excellent character from the X-Men.
I think The Watchmen, Dr. Manhattan Hanspun Superwash Merino is probably my favorite.
Poison Ivy is beautiful and I think it is great that also offer spinning services. What a great idea!
Lovin' the Iron Man vs Gryffindor!
Love the Mad As a Hatter Handspun Yarn BFL 266 yards.
I'm drooling over the the Red Queen handspun! Such a cool concept!
My favorite is the Poison Ivy tencel merino - have to represent DC! I'm even wearing my Flash ring while I type this! :)
I *love* the TigerLily yarn. If I liked knitting (I know, the horror), I would be looking seriously at her yarns.
I am going to add her fiber to my wishlist, though. Yumm.
Cheetara! I don't even know if I qualify to "keep playing" because I won some awesome stitch markers. But I loved the Thundercats so much I had to comment. Lovely colors, funny concept, wonderful spinning. Love it!
I must choose Poison Ivy itself, it's great :-)
Super Friends, Handpainted Handspun Merino Yarn is my personal fav. Beautiful! what a cute shop!
The Superfriends handspun merino is just lovely. :)
This is probably the only time I've wanted any Poison Ivy.
I lovve the Ice Queen.
Several things ... but I'll limit myself to mentioning on fiber item and one yarn.
Just give me a moment, I'm thinking hard here, ok?

For fiber it has to be the Poison Ivy.

...
And my favorite yarn from this shop is Mad as a Hatter.
Nightcrawler (gotta show that one to the DH!).
Love Cheetara, though this new poison ivy roving is pretty awesome!
I like the "Iron Man vs Gryffindor" especially!
nightcrawler is gorgeous!
My favorite is the Ironman vs Griffindor...love the bright, cheerful colors!
Nightcrawler for sure! And not just bc Kurt Wagner is awesome!
I adore the blues of the Ravenclaw fiber!
Oh, and Twittered about it at southern_mystic.
I like the Ravenclaw superwash merino roving
Oooh that poison ivy is awesome!! @princessmommys
Wow, that is a really neat colorway! I would love to see what it looks like when it is all spun up!
I think my fave thing in the shop is the Cheetara yarn because it makes me giggle! My friends and I spend hours and hours this weekend talking about our favorite cartoons from the 80s! You really nailed the colors for her too :)
I rather enjoy the shades of blue in the Ravenclaw, Superwash Merino.
I love the Daria superwash vbarton24 at gmail dot com

Mad as a Hatter Handspun is by far my favourite (other than this fiber-- which is beautiful!)!
But here's the kicker-- I didn't like the new Alice movie. That I love this yarn is certainly a *very* large compliment!
I not only like the name, but I like the color- Iron Man vs Gryffendor.
I love the Mad Men, so funky!
The Poison Ivy looks great.
Meadowland, Velvet Elvis and Cherry Blossom are my favourites.
I like the Nightcrawler. The light and dark is a nice contrast.
I love the richness in the colors of Redwing, April Phat Fiber Handspun Yarn
I love that she offers spinning services! I would use that for something very special when I want perfection!
I like the Daria BFL. . .
Superfriends and Cheetara: Thunder, thunder, Thundercats! HO!!

The Watchman handspun is gorgeous, but, I must have the Poison Ivy Merino/Tencel fiber to spin. Everything here is way too cool!
Love the Poison Ivy colorway, and the Iron Man vs. Gryffindor is pretty cool too :)
The Poison Ivy is wonderful. I also loved Redwing, Hairball and TigerLily.
I LOVE the poison ivy best of all and it's all I can do to keep away from it (looking at my craft-budget balance helps). Thanks for the offer.
I'm a sucker for anything Alice themed, the Mad as a Hatter handspun is awesome!
