We've been seeing a few of our phatties celebrate special milestones in their shops recently. I'm hoping we can all help Maple of NorthstarAlpacas reach her 1000th sale soon! I just swell with pride when I see our hard working phatties doing well!
Maple will be entering the 25 sales leading up to 1000 into a special giveaway for shop gift certificate and the 24 hours after her 1000th sale will be a special 50% off sale! It's really exciting!
Northstaralpacas is also featured in the August "Africa" Phat Fiber box and we're giving away this luscious 100% swirled alpaca roving in gorgeous yellows and purples and natural white! Just visit Northstaralpacas, find something you love, and come back here and let us know about it so we can go look too. We'll be drawing this weekend so be sure and let everyone else know about this exciting event!

The mother/daughter alpaca roving is two shades of fawn alpaca swirled together. When I saw it I knew i needed some. The mother alpaca has the same name as my sister Celeste.
I love the Many Mixed Fibers so yummy and the Slubby Bumpy Alpaca Yarn - 86 yards Happy 1000th Celebration!!!Hugs Darcy

I love that it's MICHIGAN DAY on the PhatFiber blog!
I'm such a huge fan of Maple and her lovely creatures. And, actually, I currently have a big sack of gorgeous orange and red alpaca batts on their way to my house!
Looking through her shop, I'd have to say that I'm really lusting after a reserved order of baby alpaca, silk, and angora. Wow, could it get any more soft and luxurious?
Oooo! I love the mother/daughter alpaca roving, as well as the light fawn and brown swirl roving! I can almost feel it!

I love the roving in Nike colorway The Burnt orange and Blue combination is so pretty. I also like many of the finished pieces. They just look so soft and warm.

I loved the Mother/Daughter alpaca roving. The colors looked gorgeous together and I love the idea that the mother and daughter will be together forever. I also loved the alpaca roving that was dyed in teal, periwinkle, and fuschia.
I love the MotherDaughter Alpaca Roving. It looks incredibly soft.
Ooooh, I like the Fire Red Alpaca Fleece.
I love the green/red/yellow merino/alpaca batt... actually just purchased it with a fire red alpaca fleece!
the cotton candy is so delicious looking
I like the colorway being given away, it is a very different combination.
Ooooo! I love those pink, white and black batts! Gonna tweet about this, too, as southern_mystic.
I love the handcarded batts. The one with white, black, and a hint of red looks like a scrumptious dessert! Plus, I love that she shows pics of the alpaca that the fiber came from! So cute!
Just yesterday I was thinking I want (need?) some baby alpaca fiber, and the Fleece from Hutch's first shear looks absolutely wonderful.
Happy 1000th sale, Maple!
Loving the pink and black batts!
The Natural Black Alpaca Roving looks so luxurious!
I love Maple's shop, she always offers wonderful fiber - and I also love that she always credits the alpaca producing it :-)
It's incredibly hard to choose but today I choose the batts, she just started making them and they are gorgeous!
(Going to post on FB as well)
I love the swirled alpaca roving dyed in sky blue and emerald. I sure would like to give that a spin.
Thank you so much, Jessie, for featuring me here. You popped up in my Google Alerts or I wouldn't have known.
Also, thank you, everyone, for all your kind words and allowing me to have a successful business that more than covers my "four legged" expenses. I am truly the most fortunate woman in the world.
I really like the red/white/black hand carded batts.

My favorite is the white fleece with Jacquard dyes - Sky Blue, and Celeste's - Emerald. Beautiful!
Love Maple's shop and her fiber! Such a nice touch to include a photo of the fibery animal friends with each order :)
Aside from the black alpaca that is on it's way to my home. . .I also like the cotton candy, fawn swirl, the alpaca/silk/angora. I love it all! Wish my spindles would twirl faster!
I really like the all of the handspun yarn, the sky blue and emerald one is my favorite.
Oh, it's all so lovely! I think if I was going to buy any one item, it would be the light fawn baby alpaca seen here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/53560017/light-fawn-baby-alpaca-fleece-from-hutch
I love the Natural Black Alpaca Roving (I already know it's very soft)!

OOOO
The handcarded batts: "The white is 80% alpaca from Target and 20% merino from McMurray's lambs. The black is 100% alpaca from Berringer, and the tiny bit of dyed red is also from Target". Gorgeous!
I like the Alpaca - Merino White Yarn - 250 yards - Free Hat Pattern.
The "Nike" colorway of the Alpaca/Merino Roving; it's such an unusual color combination.
Wow I love the Handcarded batts with black, white and red!
I like how they show the animals, not just their wool! So sweet :)
I like the pink-white-black hand-carded batts. So pretty.
There's a package from Northstar Alpacas on it's way to my mailbox. From one point of view, that means I should stay away from the shop and avoid my stash taking over my entire house. From another point of view, the fiber might end up being homesick, so a little more would be a good thing. Like the Woodland Pond?
I love the alpaca/merino roving in Nike - teal and orange. It would be a fun one to spin!

I LOVE your fiber! I love the fiber from Pollux I got awhile back. I should get more once I have money to spare lol
The Woodland Pond roving is calling my name, and the un-named blue and green, as well. I'm also about *this* close to buying her closeout Zotikos handspun! If it's still there when I get back from visiting the LYS that opened up, and I didn't find anything to buy there, then that yarn will be going into my cart.
I really LOVE the giveaway sample best because it has PURPLE!
Besides that, I love the dyed alpaca fiber in blues. The graduated colors would be beautiful when spun!
The brown and pink hand carded batts are gorgeous!
woodland pond is gorgeous, but really...any alpaca, so soft! Happy 1000th to you!!
Hand dyed Alpaca/Merino Top/Roving - 2 ounces - Osiris is really pretty.
I would love to have fiber from Justine, Nick, and Orion. They're all so adorable! As of this comment, there are 998 sales; only two more to go! Happy 1000th sale!
wooohoo for the 1,000 sale. just looked and saw it. i was number 95 customer and got the Hand dyed Alpaca/Merino Roving - 2.2 ounces - Patriot today from NSA shop. yummy.

What don't I love? I have quite a bit already in my stash, and I am going to go shopping now!
Very tempted by the baby alpaca and bamboo roving. I love soft fibers! Lots of pretty hand-dyed rovings and yarns too.
I wish I could afford handspun yarn. =\ Hers is so lovely and dyed in subtle tones.

I like the woodland pond roving! I still need to spin some alpaca
Everything that Maple sells is wonderful and she's terrific about creating special listings for those who need more than is listed. If I ever get a little caught up on my spinning, I'm buying some of her hand dyed roving . . .
Congrats Maple!! Hutch's baby alpaca fleece is phenominal!
I'm in love with the gorgeous....
Long Long Long Skinny Alpaca Scarf,
Huacaya in the middle andand suri alpaca on the edges...WOW
I love the charcoal grey alpaaca roving. It looks lovely and soft.
The handspun yarns are so beautiful and I love the natural colors of the alpacas.
