Hampton Artistic Yarns batt giveaway!




Last week, you saw me spinning a very pretty blue/green batt from Hampton Artistic Yarns. I thought I would share with you the final product. I was really happy with how it spun up. I was able to spin it fairly thin and chain ply it. I really enjoyed spinning the silk noils and loved all the sparkle!

I feel Deb is one of the greatest talents on Etsy today. Her color sense is amazing! I am a firm believer in using quality materials to create with, and H.A.Y's fiber is top notch!

We're giving away this beautiful 3 oz batt set called "Jumping in the leaf pile". Isn't it great?! Just visit Hampton Artistic Yarns, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Remember, we'll count those social networking pings like facebook, ravelry, twitter etc as extra entries-just let us know you did it!

    This would be a good day for a 'Naked' Fiber Sampler Pack. Followed, perhaps, by some 'Golden Delicious' milk fiber? Yes, that would be just what I need!

  10. I am liking the "Celestial" bun batts. I think spun up they would look really cool.
