KnitTink tencel merino giveaway!



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.

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."

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.

Abigail said...

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!

yarnmagic on Ravelry said...

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.

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!

GHouk said...

I not only like the name, but I like the color- Iron Man vs Gryffendor.

LeAnn said...

I love the Mad Men, so funky!

Anett Kiefer said...

The Poison Ivy looks great.

Anett Kiefer said...

Meadowland, Velvet Elvis and Cherry Blossom are my favourites.

Heather P said...

I like the Nightcrawler. The light and dark is a nice contrast.

Diana, Fiber Fancy said...

I love the richness in the colors of Redwing, April Phat Fiber Handspun Yarn

Kat said...

The Watchman handspun is gorgeous, but, I must have the Poison Ivy Merino/Tencel fiber to spin. Everything here is way too cool!

Brandy said...

Love the Poison Ivy colorway, and the Iron Man vs. Gryffindor is pretty cool too :)

Emily Kugler said...

The Poison Ivy is wonderful. I also loved Redwing, Hairball and TigerLily.

AmyDe said...

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.

Snaps said...

I'm a sucker for anything Alice themed, the Mad as a Hatter handspun is awesome!
