Beesy Bee Fibers Milk Fiber Giveaway Vlog






Notes:
*Video blog, a little over 8 mins.

*Beesybee fibers milk giveaway! Visit Beesybee fibers, find something you like, write about it on this blog to be entered to win ( we count facebooking, tweeting, ravelating, blogging and plurking as extra entries!)

*See a handspun hand-knit milk shawl (live action with drape)

*Explanation about how I ply a single on to itself using center pull ball
using northstaralpacas swirl roving

* Why I'm sitting in front of a wood pile- if "Every man looks at his woodpile with a sort of affection" (Thoreau) Then, they should also look at their handspun pile with the same affection, right?

I really like the earthy colors of the Rocks and Tides Alpaca braid. Fits me to a tee.

Anett Kiefer said...

Hard to make a choice. All the rovings looks fantastic. If I had to pick 1 or 2 I would opt for Breakpoint + Rocksand.

Magan said...

Oooo, I love the Parrot bamboo top. The colors are so vibrant!

Fav colorways at BusyBee are Truffles and Abalone.
And, the milk protein fiber has always had a fascination for me. Some lucky someone will get to spin the stuff! Wish she had more offered on her site.
By the by, love the video!

I'm really drawn to the Mossy Lake roving as well. So lovely!

Heather said...

The colors just keep grabbing me! Content is so summery, and Abalone is pretty much my favorite color combination, but I think Macaw might be my very favorite (at the moment). It's just so fabulously bright and wonderful!

Unknown said...

I really like the Rocks and Tides alpaca :-)

Zombie Queen said...

That is one of my favorite shops of all time! Mermaid song and Macaw are some of my faves.

Cheshire Bunny Crafts said...

SJS said...

I pretty much love everything in the shop, especially Riverbed, Painted Lady, Truffle, and that Mystery meriboo blend! It's all so pretty!

Tera said...

S t o r m y M o n d a y - 4.1 oz - Wensleydale is a perfect name for this colorway. It reminds me of stormy day at the beach.

Zombie Queen said...

Oh, forgot to mention that I posted about the giveaway on facebook, too :)

Hazely said...

I love the names. Parrot is a great name for that particular colourway. But I think it's the hand-dyed Teeswateer that steals the show.

TuttleDB said...

I LOVE the Abolone Blue Face Leicester. The colors are my favorite. My next choice wold be the Macaw colorway. Beautifully bright!

Jeremy said...

That HuncaMunca is awesome. I'm a new spinner, and I'd love to try something other than the wool that I've got. Plus? It's dyed in <a href="http://www.cscc.edu</a>my school colors</a>, which is a HUGE achievement when you're living in Columbus and not going to OSU!

Nessy said...

Im in love with
B e t a - 4.3 oz - Corridale Wool Top
and H o t - 3.6 oz - Superfine Merino Combed Top 19 micron, with Hot being my favourite, the colour combo that you did for it is perfect and you very rarely find people adding a splash of pink to these colourways!!

crittlet said...

The beta and split pea colorways just make me smile. :)

Crane Farms said...

Melrose said...

LOVE Stormy Monday on Wensleydale! There simply aren't enough red/purple combos in the world :)

Janice said...

Just this week I bought Confetti and Grounded and they arrived almost before I could blink. Gorgeous stuff! Cochineal and Mermaid's Song are calling to me now.

Spinnergirl said...

The Mermaids Song is just so beautiful, would love to catch that mermaid!!

ZombieCat said...

Very interesting colorways and names, my favorite is the Stormy Monday Wensleydale fiber. Very gorgeous!

Alison said...

Oooh, so many yummy colors. I love the "Split Pea" and the "Beta" colorways. (By the way, I really like your shop banner.)

How to choose?!? I like 'RiverBed', 'HuncaMunca', 'Cochineal', and all the sock yarns!! Love, love, love! And I'm really enjoying spinning that milk fibre I got in the mail today :-)

yarnmagic on Ravelry said...

Mermaid's Song is exceptionally beautiful, but I wouldn't have any problem at all filling a huge shopping cart in this store. Have you looked at the Rain Song sock yarn for instance? If not, hop over and do!

One Sheep said...

Mermaid's Song is so beautiful, even a bit thrtilling.
