Last month, while Shearlock was rubbing elbows with the fiber elite at Maryland Sheep and Wool, I sent my felted fiber fairy to visit Brenda at Natchwoolie. She sent in the most amazing baby camel and tussah silk samples! To touch these, must be touching a piece of fiber heaven!
I ran out and bought some immediately and it is still here, unspun, and I am still amazed at the beauty of it.
When I visit Natchwoolie's shop, I feel like I'm coming home. I do love all the sparkle and glitz and wild colors that can be found elsewhere, but sometimes wrapping yourself in natural fibers is just what the Doctor ordered. Like today, I'm staring out at a rainy gloomy spring day and I'm thinking about the soothing softness of this baby camel sitting in my stash.
We're pleased to be hosting a giveaway with 2 winners!! Both winners will receive a 2 oz big version of this delectable baby camel and tussah silk blend in 2 oz each. All you need to do, is visit Natchwoolie, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a winner later in the week, so be sure and get extra entries by using facebook, ravelry, your own blog, twitter etc and let everyone else know about the yumminess that is Natchwoolie!

Ooh the buttercream! So nice and... buttercreamy. Well named!
It's kind of a dream of mine to be in a something-of-the-month club, so I have to go with the Bon Bon club!
I still adore her Aurora Borealis batts!
Hmmm. . .I already have some of the buttercream! And the hazelnut truffle looks yummy too, and the fawn alpaca! It all looks great :)
I love the Bon Bon club! All that yummy fiber!
sinfully delicious, lovely
I love the baby camel and tussah silk you're giving away (which I bought and wait for the right moment to spin - it is soooo soft!), and the Aurora Borealis batt, which is both shiny and sparkly and very pure-looking.
The Natural Cotton Camel Swirl looks like it would work up beautifully. It all looks divine though really...
I want it all so I will choose the Sinfully Delicious Batt Club as my choice!
Love the creamy look of the BUTTERCREAM 20 percent TUSSAH Silk and 80 percent Merino Natural Colored Approx 4 ounce for Hand Spinning Crafts
I love the Black Diamond Bamboo Top. I'd love to win and be able to try such an exotic fiber!
I love her BLUE HAWAII Silk, Milk and Bamboo Top Naturally Plant Dyed. Reminds me so much of living in Hawaii, of watch the underwater world trough the blue clear water...
Tri Color Romney Washed Wool Fleece Lights, Multi Color Romney Washed Wool Fleece Darks, RARE EARTH BFL Top...these would give my neutral colors a great boost!

The Sinfully Delicious Batt Club looks like a must have! Very nice. That pic of the lamb on the $35 gift certificate is SOOOOO cute!

Loving the Milk Chocolate Fine Alpaca! That color is fantastic!
Mmmm, I like the Ebony and Ivory alpaca/mulberry silk top. I love alpaca, and it looks glorious blended with that silk.
I want to spin one of these so bad! They look so soft and lovely!
My favorite thing is her Steady Dye it club! I have it now and it is always something really pretty and fun to play with every month!
I love all her 'Fiber of the Month' clubs....she has tons of them! Many different types, amounts available. My particular favorite is the 'Steady Dye It' clubs. All (or most) of the fibers(animal-type) and plant-dyes come directly from her farm. How cool is that?! And the cost is extremely reasonable.
BTW, you CAN actually feel that camel-silk through the monitor, ya know.
Love the Mini Bon bon six packs!
I'm still in love with the February Phat Fiber sample: MILK CHOCOLATE Yummy FINE ALPACA Top
But I love everything I bought from Brenda... complete yumminess!
(I'm going to FB about this too)
Tussah/Camel is one of my favorite blends to spin! And all of her different alpaca tops look like they would be wonderful to spin and knit with!
I think I want one of everything.
The Blue hawaii silk/milk/bamboo blend. I love blues, I loved spinning milk fiber, and I am itching to try silk.
I LOVE that beautiful almond cashmere/ merino mix. It just looks so dreamy.
The bamboo and silk suri is soooo pretty in pink!
Oh wow, I would love to try the camel and cotton blends! I didn't score a Phat Fiber box this time around, but that Peach Tree top looks marvelous!
I love the ALMOND Cashmere and Superfine Merino Top; it's so lovely looking, and I'm sure it's butter soft.
You just can't go wrong. After getting the camel/silk sample, I keep going back to drool over it!
I LOVE Natchwoolie's stuff! I really want some of baby camel and tussah silk. I've been drooling over it for a while...
I'm in love with the Blue Hawaii and Black Diamond Bamboo rovings!
Finding something I like at Natchwoolie is too easy -- not buying ALL of it is the hard part!! I have been in love with the Sushi Club. I got the first shipment last month and it was the most gorgeous fleece!
I signed up for the sushi club make it raw surprise...so delicious
I think the Bon Bon Club is a beautiful idea! I like the thought that you just never know what you're gonna get. I bet it would be very inspiring!
On every page I thought I'd found my favorite! But, I finally decided that the black diamond 100% bamboo is my favorite. I love the shine and can only imagine the heaven of knitting it!
I can always find something at Natchwoolie to drool over! These days, the multi-colored Romney has been calling my name!
I want one of the clubs. The bon bon ones would be perfect, but the takeout is too cute.
those pics look so beautiful! like you could reach through the pc and run your fingers through them, buttercream!
Since I haven't seen the Aurora Borealis, I would like to spin it!
Great and Small looks luscious, but then again, so does the moorit Shetland. I like the look and feel of the raw Romney as well.

I love the natural brown Rambouillet fiber!
I'm already receiving the Sushi Club... had two shipments already and I love it, but if I had to pick a fave from what's in the shop I think it would be the same yummy stuff as in this giveaway. Can the Random Number Generator be bribed?
Her coal black fine alpaca looks amazing. I may have to get my mitts on that.
Beautiful Blues - Blue Hawaii Silk. I find it hard to resist delicious blues.
Six Pack Mini BON BON CLUB - Sumptious Sweets for the Fiber Tooth Get a Surprise Six Pack of Mini Bons every month for 12 months -- wow!!! looks like so much fun to spin. Those mini bon bons are so cute!
I love the luster of the ebony and ivory! This shop just makes me want to spin.
That fiber looks amazing, so do the raw fibers from the sushi club!
I like the BLUE HAWAII Silk, Milk and Bamboo Top Naturally Plant Dyed. That is just ONE thing I like. There are so many wonderful fibers in this shop!

I can't believe how rich and luxruious this CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE Yummy FINE ALPACA Top 70 Percent Alpaca 30 Percent Tussah Silk oh MY 4 ounces Natural Colored fiber is.
I want some of the buttercream. It looks so rich!♦
The honey tussah silk top looks like a dream.
Love the black alpaca, would love to spin this up!!
I love so many of them! And, the names make them even more irresistible! I think my top three would be the Hazlenut Truffle, RARE EARTH BFL Top PHAT FIBER MARCH FEATURE Natural Varigation Browns and Creams, and the Baby Camel and Silk mix. I just want to hold some and squeeze it all day. :)
I LOVE the Milk Chocolate Fine Alpaca, I bought some a while ago and it's just soft and lovely and I would LOVE to have more.

I'd love to get my hands in the COAL BLACK FINE ALPACA Top. Gorgeous!
Bon Bons - totally adorable! Plus I love the plant dyed fibers - that's difficult to come by.
I think the Bonbon club is fantastic. 6 mini batts a month for 12 months is better than chocolates :-)
I want ALMOND Cashmere and Superfine Merino Top 4 ounces. It looks so soft and cuddly.

HAZELNUT TRUFFLE Yummy FINE ALPACA Top 70 Percent Alpaca 30 Percent Tussah Silk mmmmmm 4 ounces Natural Colored is soooo beautiful!
Blue Hawaii is a beautiful blend. Cocoa merino is nice too. But I love the Hazelnut Truffle blend. Wow!
I love... EVERYTHING!!! Natchwoolie alpaca is amazing, and I've got to get some of the Buttercream merino/tussah.
Love, love, love all the greys and naturals, especially the ebony and ivory color in alpaca/silk and the chocolate truffle, yummy.
I am so very tempted by the Sushi club! Those fibers look so soft!
I love getting a surprise every month in the Steady Dye It Club... but visiting her site had me wondering how amazing it would be to spin with Angora!!!

Wuthering Heights CHARCOAL Sinfully Delicious Batt Approx 2 OZ Phat Fiber January Feature Super Luxe 35 percent Silk 65 percent Merino Lamb is absolutely wonderful! I'm still petting mine on a regular basis!
I would like to try her six pack mini bon bon club. I have some of her suri alpaca and I love it! :)
What's not to love about her shop! It's like eating candy! I love the hand woven wool rug, too. They are the most durable rugs ever!
I really want the 100% angora rabbit roving, I have such a soft spot for soft bunny fiber! Also, the peach tree merino roving is really nice!!
Oh my goodness. So much soft georgeousness.... my favorite is probably the Honey Tussah 100% Silk Top.
Ooh...the Sterling alpaca and tussah silk is gorgeous! I suspect that it's what my hair's going to look like when I go grey. ;)
Wow, the "Sterling" alpaca/silk looks so luscious. And the perfect name too...
Oh my! That mini bon-bon club is delicious! I just want to eat those little fiber sweets.
Oh those Bon Bons just look delectable.
the bon bon club is so cool!
blue Hawaii, naturally dyed milk & bamboo, wow.
There is so much to love
My favourite is
HAZELNUT TRUFFLE Alpaca & Tussah Silk
If I sort my fiber stash by seller, what I've got from Natchwoolie definitely takes up the largest space. But still, I think there's something missing, and I think that might just be the buttercream ...
I love all the blacks in the shop, you don't see them too often. Beautiful.
I would love to spin some of her tussah silk top.
I love the hazelnut roving so beautiful vbarton24 at gmail dot com
The honey tussah silk looks dreamy.
I love the baby camel and tussah silk and Wuthering heights - wonderful colours.
