I've mentioned before that one of my most favorite things to do with Phat Fiber is introduce you all to a fresh face with lots of potential! Jessicah from Spinning a Yarn lives and creates in New Zealand and is just beginning her journey as a fiber enabler :)
I get really excited when I see fiber dyed the way Jessicah has done- this graduated colorway because your spinning options really open up! You could spin the whole thing up a one long single and then ply it back on itself so that the colors mesh together, or you could Navajo ply it and retain the color transition - it just makes spinning really fun!
Please visit Spinning a Yarn today and pick out something you like. I can't tell you how important it is for new fiber folks to hear what you think! We'll be giving away this gorgeous NZ Merino to a lucky commenter this week, so be sure and help Jessicah out by using twitter, facebook, ravelry etc and spread the word! Also don't be afraid to convo this sweet woman with dye requests most all of our Phatties love it when you do that!
Oh, if you have time, check out Jessicah's blog: http://spinningayarnblog.blogspot.com/ too.
I decided I could live without the Tuscan Sunset or the Forest in Tussah silk. Absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSorry, misspelling. I can't live without either colorway and immediately bought both.
ReplyDeletelove the Tussah Silk Sliver - Forest that i saw in her Sold items. she as great color schemes :D
ReplyDeletepost both her store and blog on twitter...
ReplyDeleteI really love the graduated fiber. That would be so fun to spin and watch the colors slowly transform!
ReplyDeleteI love the Tussah Silk Sliver - Forest. The colors are so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteThe Graduated fiber is great. I would love to try it out.

LOVE graduated colouring!!! Autumn Sunshine is my pick.
ReplyDeleteI like the Tuscan Silk hankies. They are a gorgeous color, plus I'd really like to try the whole "knitting with unspun mawata" idea.
ReplyDeleteThe Tussah Silk Sliver in Sweetpea that was sold is absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt must be the purple and yellow!
ReplyDeleteWow-gotta remember to take a look early!! but I do so love this blend of purple and yellow: 100g of Graduated Merino Fibre

I'm really loving the colors of the Orangeberry merino, I bet you could make some gorgeous yarn with really long color transitions!
ReplyDeleteThe 100g of Graduated Merino Fibre is lovely!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait until she has more in her etsy shop. I ADORE the coulourway being given away.
ReplyDeleteI love the graduated fiber, especially in the purple/yellow colorway!

Autumn Sunshine is subtle and elegant, I love it!
ReplyDeleteJess
ha, she's nearly out! I guess it's the autumn sunshine for me, then!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost all gone! I like the idea of having graduated roving. I love it when there is a long color change and I'd be able to do it easily with roving like this.
ReplyDeletetussah silk silver is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGood news for her that she seems to have sold out most of her store! I love the graduated colors that she does. I would love to see one in purple, blue and green. The silk she sold in green, and in purple were beautiful. Her colors are nice and deep and rich.
ReplyDeleteBy the time I went to drool over the shop, most of it was already sold out! I love love love the rangeberry graduated merino she once had...
ReplyDeleteTweeting this too.
wow, everyone cleaned out the shop! I did look at the sold items and the tussah silk sliver is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe shop had been cleaned out! lol But, I really loved the tussah silk forest
ReplyDeleteThe merino sliver in autumn sunshine looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you guys totally cleaned out the shop! The only items remaining are Autumn Sunshine and the purple-to-yellow gradient merino, both of which I like!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try her graduated fibers. It would be so hard to pick a project to use it on!
ReplyDeleteI love the Tussah Silk Sliver in Forest and the Merino Sliver in Summer Elm that she's already sold.
ReplyDeleteThe merino sliver in autumn sunshine is lovely; nice and earthy. =)
ReplyDeleteApparently Jessicah's stuff is so hot it's moving out of her store really fast!
ReplyDeleteMy fave is from her sold items: 150g Graduated Merino Sliver in the brown and hot pink colors!
I love the orangeberry merino!
ReplyDeletethanks for this giveaway!
I've already bought my Orangeberry fix some days ago :-)
ReplyDelete(FB as well)
I love the Tussah Silk Sliver Midnight! Reminds me of dusk.
ReplyDeleteI love the Tussah Silk Sliver - Midnight- what a deep and mysterious colorway!
ReplyDeleteHoney on toast! One of my favorite colors and fibers!

The Honey on Toast Tussah Silk is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin the orangeberry merino. Those colors would be so purdy all spun up.
ReplyDeleteI love her gradient spinning fibers for the reasons you listed..Her custom job (the yellow-green-blue) is beautiful! Just something I'd look for :)
ReplyDeleteThe gradient fibres are lovely, so full of lustre too. My fave would be the bloe tussah silks though, cool colours of blue always appeal to me.
ReplyDeletex
Obviously this shop is a winner because she's almost completely sold out. I may be responsible for some of that-I bought the last of the merino because I'm a total sucker for purple and yellow together. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWell seems I'm slow because she is nearly cleared out! Looked in the sold items and I like the summer elm colorway.
ReplyDeleteI like the Tussah Silk Sliver in Midnight. Just noticed I don't have very much blue fiber!

The colors that were left were so pretty! I scrolled through those that had been sold and made list of what I want!
ReplyDeleteThe orangeberry fiber (on the sold page) is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTussah Silk Sliver is sooo deep and absolutely beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAck, the shop is nearly empty! Definitely a fan of her Orangeberry though, the gradient is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHow can you choose? I do like the Midnight Tussah Silk.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see how the Midnight tussah silk spun up! Awesome colors!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the giveaway roving. strawberries and chocolate!
ReplyDeleteOK, so I'm a day late to the party and it seems that everyone here bought up her shop! Doesn't seem to be anything in there...well, 3 items in the tussah silk.
ReplyDeleteI do like those colors, though I think the wool being given away for this one has a very interesting colorway!
Hmmm, maybe she could adopt me so I can live in NZ and play with the fiber there?!
I'm almost too late -- only three items left in her shop! Congratulations on all the sales, I suspect you're busily dyeing right now...
ReplyDeleteAll three items are lovely, but I have to say that the Midnight silk is absolutely gorgeous!

Tussah silk is my new favorite thing! (Thank you phatfiber sampler box). I love the midnight colorway. It has wonderful depth of color, and would be useful for so many spinning applications!
ReplyDeletei'd have to say that her "Midnight" colorway of Tussah Silk is my fav. those colors are just calling to me.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I'm going to have to say "Autumn Sunshine"! I love gray and yellow together.
ReplyDeleteOooh I love the Tussah Silk Sliver Midnight.
ReplyDeleteTussah Silk Midnight looks great!!
ReplyDeleteTHE MEGHAN ~LOVE LOVE LOVE IT~
ReplyDeleteI love the merino sliver in autumn sunshine. Now I need to go and buy a spindle.
ReplyDeleteThe 150g graduated merino sliver - orangeberry from the sold items is my favorite. What beautifully blended shades.
ReplyDeleteI went into the sold items and found the beautiful Tussah Silk Sliver- Forest. Beautiful color and sheen.
ReplyDeleteThe Autum Sunshine is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI received the orangeberry graduated fiber in my fluff box this month. It is so soft and pretty and I want more.
ReplyDeletenephnie
that beautiful midnight blue silk
ReplyDeleteI'm normally drawn to greens and blues, but for some reason I love the looks of her fire batts and tropical fruit roving. If I had more money this month I would have bought the fire batt to compliment the earth one I got in my box as a sample.
