Funny, I was just about to search for a Greener Shades dealer (no kidding)!
I love the Caddy Sax, and if I had to chose one, it would be the Lime and Chocolate.
I've just been reading Manly Wade Wellman's 'John' stories and the skein called Bottomless Mountain Lake caught my eye! Doubtless it's not as scary as the stories about bottomless lakes high in the Appalachians....
I've actually been eying the Kid Mohair Locks dyed with the 'Greener Shades' dyes for a few days now...might have to make the jump, they looks so vibrant!
I love everything, but especially her Jumbles 10 batt, ooh!!! I use her for my citric acid b/c I always like to add one of her awesome "special listings" to my order, too!

Ooh, I'd love to get my hands on "Froggy went a courtin" roving!
Tweeted it too!
I like the Soft Rainbow Single ply handspun wool yarn, 3.2 oz, 146 yards Merino Glitz.
The Shadows bamboo top is a great color! All of her colors are wonderfully vibrant.
I really would love a pair of the Blue Mountain combs. They are so elegant!
Blue Mtn Handcrafts has wonderful fiber tools. I have your comb and hackle set and the blending hackle. If you are looking for fiber though, her cormo is delish.
Love the hand-dyed bamboo grab bag! Gonna tweet! Mandii411
ohmygosh ohmygosh I've been trying to find a way to get those Greener Shades... and you're only a couple states away! And you have firestar! I need to get some of that Shady Moss firestar... and OK, some of the mohair... there's so much eye candy!
Just coming out of my long hiding and working with my dyes again...would love to get my hands on this. Could I just have the whole shop? At least some mohair locks? Will be tweeting too :)
shadows bamboo! As much as i love to dye yarn i have yet to dye fiber!
Secret glade is to 'dye' for, hehe!
Oh, I've been wanting to dye my own wool for a while now! It's really hard to choose a favorite, everything she has is gorgeous. I think I'll go with the GLITZ Smooth Spinning Batt though.
I really like the VINTAGE PLUM AND GOLD Straight and DPN Knitting Needle Roll Up Case. I also like the Caddy Sax.

I love the little guy in 'My mom is a fiber junky'. I can imagine my own son screaming this at the top of his voice.
I really like the Midnight N Moonlight Smooth Spinning Batts.

OOooo, I like "The Royal Scandal" combed top. Beautiful subtle colors and that little bit of sparkle!
Ooh, I'm saving my pennies for a comb and hackle set. I just love all the fibers! I think the angora locks have to be my favorite!
I still love the Pink Flamingo what a great color and great name. BTW - those hand combs are gorgeous as well! Thanks for the opportunity.
Wow - beautiful colors. Love the Alien Sun yarn. Would make a really kick-butt hat! I love her backpacks too.
I really love the Mushroom Hand Dyed Mulberry Silk, looks so shiny and rich! I also like the Whatever 2 semi-chunky, what wonderful colors together.
love the mushroom died~
The hand-combed top in "If Only Sheep Came In Purple" would be an amazing and fun summer spin!
That Mountain Dew nylon is just hysterical- fun!
I've been wanting to try out some dyes, but didn't know where to start.
The kid mohair locks look gorgeous.
I love the GOLD Hand Dyed Nylon Firestar- really looks like spun gold!!
I absolutely adore the Fairy Wedding roving!
I love the Bottomless Mountain Lake!
I loooove Beth's shop!
And, I just discovered how much I love to dye, too.
Great giveaway...'course I'm attempting to save my pennies for the 'hackle' set.
Tell ya, the woman has EVERYTHING in her shop!
The Virginia Bluebells look gorgeous, and I am sure that it would be even more beautiful spun up. So much to choose from in her shop. :)
So much to look at! How about a comb set?
My favourites are the Daydreaming roving and the Jumbles batt. All her batts look so fantastic.
There is sooooo much in Beth's shop!!! It's hard to pick just one thing. But I do love the Secret Random Beauty batt
I spy with my little eye totally gorgeous batts. Especially Midnight n Moonlight, Secret Glade and Waterfall.
If only sheep came in purple!! That is an awesome name!! Also love her Caddy Sax and Random Beauty batts!!
Oooh, what a fun giveaway! I still have my eye on that hackle. Yummy!
Great shop with lovely things. But you know, I wan the Greener Shades Dyes - All of them!
I love the Secret Glades spinning batts! look at those colors!
I love the Hen Smootches!
I'm really enjoying the Tommyknockers and King Midas top. I'm a huge yellow-green fan.

What I really want the most are those hand combs. As far as fiber, I like the burgundy mulberry silk and the hen smooches combed top.
I like the Jumbles 10 semi smooth batt it looks like a fun mix to spin up.
I really like the daydreams and hot stuff rovings. Both look quite beautiful. And, uhm, how have I been missing this store?! It's got pretty much everything I look for consistently!
I really like Hen Smooches and What The Heck rovings. :-) I'm also mesmerized by the Jumbles 4 batt! The Greener Shades dyes are such a great idea! Thank you!
LOVE the Not for the Faint of Heart batts....great color and texture!

My favorite is the JUMBLES 10 batt- love the colors and the sparkle! I'm also in love with MIDNIGHT N MOONLIGHT.
I love the random beauties especially number 12. the colors are always so gorgeous! I also want some of the mohair locks!
I like the GRAB BAG Cinnamon Rolls Hand Dyed Domestic Wool Top 3 oz. All the happy colors made me smile!
I've been wanting to try out greener shades for ages now! I like Froggy went a courtin, and so many others!
Greener Shades dyes - in a starter kit or any other way - is one thing on a long list of Blue Mtn Handcrafts temptations. The colors of the Secret Glade spinning batts catch my eye, along with Midnight 'n Moonlight. Oh, and if you haven't seen it, go take a look at the Vintage Flowers and Moss "Caddy Sax" bag!
I like the HOT STUFF Single Ply BFL Wool Yarn 3.2 oz 219 Yards fingering
I'd LOVE to get SECRET RANDOM BEAUTY... sooo scrumptious!
Wow! She does cool stuff! I'd love to get my hands on some "Naked Sheep" or the "Experiment #9". It looks like crazy swirled ice cream scoops on the plate. Yum!
Oh, seriously, I love just about everything in Beth's shop; right now it's esp. the Jumbles #10 batt. Such lovely colors... I would have said all the project bags, but I already have a collection on ones in fabrics that I love more than any others available.
I love this idea - I have been wanting to try indago or a blue shade. which I haven't been able to get from my garden flowers. Even if I don't win I think I will have to order some for myself
Those hand combs look gorgeous.
I love Beth's shop and prolific offerings.
And, have just re-discovered my enjoyment in dyeing! How fortuitous! I do have one of her Batts..which I love and really don't want to spin up as its so pretty the way it is.
I am enamored of the hackle set(s) and am trying...yeah, right, I DID say 'trying'...to save my pennies to get those.
I love the caddy sacks. They look to be a perfect size to carry a spindle and fiber!
My favorite item was the Midnight n Moonlight spinning batt. And the Wool Hand Combs are very enticing.
If only sheep came in purple!! awesome color, and name. I would love to get my hands on a dying starter kit or just one of the grab bags with lots o colors.
I've never dyed before but I am getting some natural roving to practice spinning and if I end up with yarn I am going to look into dying. Now I have a place to look.
I want all of Erics fiber tools!

I am very tempted to have a play with that gorgeous Lincoln Raw Fleece.
This is such a fun site to browse through. I smile each time I look.
The Caddy Sacks are great in any size and I particularly am drawn to the Summer Flowers pattern.
Love the Vintage Plum and Gold needle case. Sure could put that to use!
I love the Summer Flowers Caddy Sax and the Greener Shades Dyes!
I have been wanting to learn to dye, but I've been concerned about the chemicals. I'm so glad I checked her shop out, but then I'm not. LOL So many goodies! I love the Ginger Caddy Sax. I hope it is still there when pay day comes around. I'm knew to this Phat Fiber thing and I can already see how much trouble I'm going to get into!
love the blue sky firestar!
I've got her hearted on Etsy already because her shop is so awesome... if I have to choose [today! it changes!] I'd pick the Spring Green mulberry silk top. I just want to roll in a room full of it!
I love the bottomless mtn lake handspun! :)
I really like the hand combs! :)
I bought some of the dye for a friend for her birthday. I would love to try it. There has to be an answer to metals-and it appears this is one of the answers.
What a cute store!! I LOVE the "froggy went a courtin" wool roving - the colors are so spring & happy!
I've got to go with the Froggy Went A Courtin wool roving. I'm on a green kick lately...
I really want to try the greener shades dyes. I love her caddy sax and I love her needle cases. I also love a lot of her roving balls and her batts - her color combos are wonderful.
