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 really love said Poison Ivy and the Ice Queen.

I like the bright blue Ravenclaw fiber. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOk, 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."

I LOVE the Poison Ivy. And the theme of superheros and villians is so fun.
ReplyDeleteIce man, Ice Queen, Poison Ivy! Do I have to choose just one?!
ReplyDeleteLove poison Ivy..such a pretty colorway
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Poison Ivy AKA Pamela Isley. Beautiful work!!
ReplyDeleteI love the nightcrawler handspun.
ReplyDeleteNightcrawler, Handspun Merino and Alpaca Yarn, Oops Not only great yarn, but an excellent character from the X-Men.
ReplyDeleteI think The Watchmen, Dr. Manhattan Hanspun Superwash Merino is probably my favorite.
ReplyDeletePoison Ivy is beautiful and I think it is great that also offer spinning services. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLovin' the Iron Man vs Gryffindor!
ReplyDeleteLove the Mad As a Hatter Handspun Yarn BFL 266 yards.
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over the the Red Queen handspun! Such a cool concept!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Poison Ivy tencel merino - have to represent DC! I'm even wearing my Flash ring while I type this! :)
ReplyDeleteI *love* the TigerLily yarn. If I liked knitting (I know, the horror), I would be looking seriously at her yarns.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI must choose Poison Ivy itself, it's great :-)
ReplyDeleteSuper Friends, Handpainted Handspun Merino Yarn is my personal fav. Beautiful! what a cute shop!
ReplyDeleteThe Superfriends handspun merino is just lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the only time I've wanted any Poison Ivy.
ReplyDeleteI lovve the Ice Queen.
ReplyDeleteSeveral things ... but I'll limit myself to mentioning on fiber item and one yarn.
ReplyDeleteJust 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!).
ReplyDeleteLove Cheetara, though this new poison ivy roving is pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like the "Iron Man vs Gryffindor" especially!
ReplyDeletenightcrawler is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Ironman vs Griffindor...love the bright, cheerful colors!
ReplyDeleteNightcrawler for sure! And not just bc Kurt Wagner is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI adore the blues of the Ravenclaw fiber!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Twittered about it at southern_mystic.
ReplyDeleteI like the Ravenclaw superwash merino roving
ReplyDeleteOooh that poison ivy is awesome!! @princessmommys
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a really neat colorway! I would love to see what it looks like when it is all spun up!
ReplyDeleteI 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.

Mad as a Hatter Handspun is by far my favourite (other than this fiber-- which is beautiful!)!
ReplyDeleteBut 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.
ReplyDeleteI love the Mad Men, so funky!
ReplyDeleteThe Poison Ivy looks great.
ReplyDeleteMeadowland, Velvet Elvis and Cherry Blossom are my favourites.
ReplyDeleteI like the Nightcrawler. The light and dark is a nice contrast.
ReplyDeleteI love the richness in the colors of Redwing, April Phat Fiber Handspun Yarn
ReplyDeleteI love that she offers spinning services! I would use that for something very special when I want perfection!
ReplyDeleteI like the Daria BFL. . .
ReplyDeleteSuperfriends 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!
ReplyDeleteLove the Poison Ivy colorway, and the Iron Man vs. Gryffindor is pretty cool too :)
ReplyDeleteThe Poison Ivy is wonderful. I also loved Redwing, Hairball and TigerLily.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for anything Alice themed, the Mad as a Hatter handspun is awesome!
