Sue from the Critter Ranch was inspired by the movie "Gorillas of the Mist" and the lovely silver backed Gorillas that can be found the the African congo. Surprisingly, only a few of our Phatties featured the rainforests of Africa this month! The beautiful black batt is composed of natural black Llama and Alpaca, silver mohair and Llama. The green rainforest batt contains Llama, Alpaca, Bamboo rayon, Mohair, silk and firestar for strength and sparkle.
It's truly lovely carded art!

I love space mountain. It's so beautiful I used the photo of it in my "America the Beautiful" treasury on Etsy recently!
I Like the "Vines" Falkland combed top :-)
(FB as well)
The Orchid batt looks so interesting; I don't know how I'd split it up to spin it, there are so many possibilities! I'd already faved the bright and cheerful Violets combed top. And then there's Vines, and Antique Roses, and Fall Trees... I think the question is rather what *wouldn't* I buy if I weren't on a frozen fibre budget until finances are more fluid.
RTed too! @owldaughter
it is raining outside and smacks of fall. When I saw the combed top, baby alpaca in fall tree colors I knew it was going to be a perfect day.
I love the Cloverleaf art yarn. Very pretty.
Roses in the dark and 80's flashback both look like they'd be a blast to spin!
What a lovely shop! My favorite item is the Spring Hycinths Batt - simply gorgeous!
I like the Indian Summer Falklands roving/combed top!

I like the Falklands combed top in "Grapes"
Ooh, difficult to decide. I really love the seaweed batt, and how Shearlock keeps inserting himself into the pictures!
Love the Combed Top..... Violets and Lilacs.
Wow... all is fantastic!! It's not easy to find just one thing that I love!!
The Leicest Locks are wonderful!!
hugs eli
Violets and Lilacs - first of all for the colors, but also because I've never tried Punta wool. That would be a fun experience.
I'm surprising myself a little by choosing this Combed Top... Falkland.... Orchids and Irises...4oz Hand dyed Braid... as it's not within my ususal spectrum. But I love it. Critter Ranch is one of those shops where it's so hard to leave one page full of beautiful fiber, but you know the next page will have just as much.
Beautiful colors in all of the batts. Seriously.
It was so hard sitting out the giveaways last week, after winning. I can't hold back any longer, I'm going to choose the wonder Vines Falkland Roving.
Love the seaweed and purple people eater batts. :)

Baby alpaca Antique Roses. The colors look so...antique-y.
I love the Tide Pool roving and the Combed Top... Super wash Merino/Tencel Hand Dyed in Very Blue... 4 oz braids Navy, Turquoise, bright blue.
I still love the Tree of souls yarn, it is just really pretty. I also find the idea of having pet hair into a scarf rather neat.
I love the Roses in the Dark batt!
thanks for this giveaway!
I want all the fiber samplers!

The Formal Affair truffles are making me drool! Gorgeous color saturation, and I love red and black together. :-)
I would love to spin the violets and lilacs roving.
Ooh, the formal affair truffles look like a fantastic yarn waiting to happen!
I absolutely love how the baby alpaca and viscose roving in Fall Trees "Spins like worm butter." Awesome! Seriously, though, it's such a pretty colorway, and I like spinning alpaca fiber.
so many goodies ! love the polka dot llama pony holder ( i remember something similar from my previous riding days) love the upside down pineapple batt, and the fact she spins dog hair! So do wish we had done this with our lovely golden before she passed.
The June 80's flashback is totally compelling!
The Bumble Bee and Honey batt is pretty!
Combed Top Baby Alpaca and Viscos Hand Dyed in Jewels is absolutely beautiful!
I love her dark llama fiber!
The purple people eater batt is lovely shades of purple... and the fiber just looks so yummy
The Midway Light Batt is sooo gorgeous! I would so love to have that.
I like the color mix of Pineapple upside-down Truffles!
