Last month, Susan's Kitchen contributed some amazing samples with a unique interpretation on "All Creatures Great and Small". Susan chose to use the 'literal' interpretation and draw inspiration from James Herriot's books.
Susan's Kitchen is another shop with a look that a lot of idiosyncratic listings- something I find quite appealing when buying hand dyes. Her shop has a beautiful warmth about it- even her cool colors seem to glow! I especially loved her April Phat Fiber samples though.
Today we've got 2 Susan's Kitchen large versions of her April samples for 2 winners! The Tristan drum carded batt is a beautiful blend of romney, honey tussah silk, camel down, angora and a sprinkling of angelina. The Sparkle Fluff pack is a gorgeously springy blend of longwools, mohair and plenty of shine!
Please visit Susan's Kitchen today. Find something you love, and write about it in the comments below. We'll be awarding second entries for those of you who use social networking to spread the word about Susan's shop. We'll be drawing the winners later in the week, so be sure and check back to see if you've won!

Blueberry squish sock yarn is fantastic. That is exactly how I imagine my socks would look if I walked over a bunch of blueberries.
ReplyDeleteI went to the shop and immediately added the Pansies BamAlWool combed top to my favorites. Some of the batt sets, like Tristan or Rose Gold, are very tempting. I could have mentioned several other items too!
ReplyDeleteI love her leftover batts!
ReplyDeleteI love the Fall In - BamAlWool fiber. It looks as soft as butter.
ReplyDeleteI love the Blueberry Squish and the Rose Gold!!! Wonderful colors! Have "hearted" her shop!! Now off to share on my facebook page!

My daughter was immediately drawn to Phuket Sunset. I got to spin a Tristan sample from April and it was gorgeous!

I like how she has some things both spun and unspun, so you can see how it'll turn out. (I have a very bad imagination, so I can't visualise the finished product well!) For a specific thing, probably end of sunset or green streak.
ReplyDeleteI really like Red, Gold, Peach, Gray - Handdyed Mohair Locks
ReplyDeleteI love the Shaded Forest - Merino Wool Combed Top Spinning Fiber- very cool and unusual color combination.
ReplyDeleteThe Envy Corredale roving looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteLove the thought of the bamboo/alpaca/wool blend! But this time, Berry Patch - Panda Bamboo Wool Nylon Combed Top really caught my eye!

ReplyDeletephuket sunset is so pretty
ReplyDeleteSo much to look at and very hard to choose one thing, so I went to my favorites and noticed I had two listed from Susan's Kitchen-- the Tristan batts and Evening in Spring batts. Both are beautiful.

My son(who is 9) and I like the blueberry squish! Because it really does look like she squashed blueberries to get that colorway.I would spin any type of her fiber it all looks yummy.

ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love the Envy and Blueberry Squish colorways.
The Phuket Sunset - Panda Sock Handdyed Yarn Fingering Weight yarn looks lovely! So pretty, it would make an adorable sweater for a little girl I think. =)
ReplyDeleteYou cooked up some yummie goodness in "Springtime"!
ReplyDeleteLove Springtime!
ReplyDeleteI love how cheerful the colors are in the Sunrise Sparkle Fluff!
ReplyDeleteLately, I've been into 'random'-type things....therefore, I like her 'leftovers' Batts.
ReplyDeleteIn April'l box, I did get some of her 'sparkle fluff', which was added during hand-carding to some other fibers. Love how it turned out!
Tristan! I LOVE the colours. Fabulous work.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful items it was hard to choose just one. If I didn't already have more sock yarn than time I'd be all over the Roadside - Handdyed BFL Sock Lace Yarn Light Fingering Weight.
