This BFL/tussah silk is amazing! It's so soft and Stephanie of WCMercantile has dyed these colors to perfection. Our theme as you know for September is Farmer's Market- these are Stephanie's interpretation of mixed berries and oooh I could just eat them! I love the dark jewel tones in fall, they transition to winter really well.
When Stephanie sent these in, she suggested one could hold two or three of these colors together and draft them together creating a barber pole effect. I think that would be really neat to try- you can see her list grab bags every once in a while, or convo her about creating one just for you.
We're giving away this beautiful 3 oz collection today! Just visit WCMercantile, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll count extra tweets, facebook updates, blog posts etc as extra entries for helping spread the good word about WCMercantile!

I just fell in love with the Bright green "Farm fresh and supersoft" http://www.etsy.com/listing/46739417/3-oz-kettle-dyed-kid-mohair-roving-farm
This just made my day!
Aside from being my favorite place to buy natural top, I love her batts. The NOLA batt is my current favorite; it looks like a sunrise over the ocean!
I love WC Mercantile. I have to agree with Nuri, her batts are the best, and the NOLA one is the current one I'm eying also! I also like the deep red of the Americus batt.
I love the 2 ounce NOLA batt very nice vbarton24 at gmail dot com

Ok Ok how in the world am I supposed to pick just one!!! I pretty much loved most everything!!!!
I have new purchased from there but I will now!!!
This is really boring, but I'd probably go for the 1 pound of bare merino top. I still haven't gotten very good at spinning, and I think that would help very much with my spinning.
That being said, I'd love to try the whole barberpoling, but you could also spin up each color then make a marled three-ply.
Yeah, can I have a $100 gift certificate to WC Mercantile plz? Ha! Seriously, though, if I was going to buy something today it would be the camel down and tussah silk! Mmmmm ... Stephanie is JUST AWESOME, and I love an excuse to flit through her shop! Tweeting about this too at southernmystic.jc.
I love WC Mercantile- especially the batts! And check out the Farm Fresh Fiber Kit currently on page 7- great sampler!
Stephanie has got loads of gorgeous fibre and she's always so kind! I just love the 3 oz Kettle Dyed Kid Mohair Roving, so happy and lively :-)
FB as well
Okay I could totally have about three pages of wishlist items for WCMercantile... but I really like the Mid-summers night Artisan fiber. : )
Everything? But if I have to pick one...the kettle dyed kid mohair in blues and greens
1/2 Oz. Crystal Metallic Fibers
I really need to order a selection of Merino Top from WCMerc...I have wonderful wools of all sorts, but lack in the selection of Merino...time to go shopping!

I'm so tempted by the prospect of the 3 oz mystery bag or rovings/tops/batts! It could be anything!

i want the wheel, but if I gotta pick fiber the lime green will do
The Pickle Merino is gorgeous!!!
Fine Alpaca Top - Silver is next on my list of purchases. It looks so soft and squishable.
I love all the undyed tops and fiber! Good for me to practice dyeing with!

3 oz Kettle Dyed Kid Mohair Roving in shades of blue, green and purple. Yumm.
The Americus batt is gorgeous!
The Merino and Tussah Silk Top - Blueberry Blues is my favorite! Soon, very soon I will be spinning with this.
I'd like to try the superwash Panda top. It sounds like an interesting blend which I haven't tried out yet.
The BFL/Silk being given away looks heavenly!
The strawberry lemonade batt is mouthwatering! I love her colors.
I like to browse the luxury fiber section. I have eyed the cashmere, angora and baby camel/silk a few times. :)
I love the Kettle Dyed Kid Mohair Roving - FARM FRESH and SUPER SOFT in shades of green. It's beautiful and looks like it would be fun to spin.
It is so easy to get lost in this shop! But if I had to pick one favorite, it would be the NOLA batt! However, I can't pick just one, so I would also go for the merino top in Dark Garnet. And Midnight. Oh wow, it's really hard to pick just one!
WC mercantile's batts are sheer spinning bliss! :-) I really love the rich tones of their Americus batt. *drools*
Love the pumpkin pie merino top! Always love orange this time of year :) The Strawberry Lemonade Batt also looks fun.

The Americus Batt is my favorite thing. It's my birthday colors!

I'd love the drum carder to jump into my cart!
Other than that, I just bookmarked this shop for the great selection and great prices on undyed fiber!
I love the Mid Summer Night's Batt I can only imagine how beautiful it would look spun up.
I love the WC Mercantile and Stephanie and her mom. I'm a NEW fan of her artisan batts. Right now I want NOLA!
I love the undyed hemp roving! I need to try spinning hemp, I want to do as much as I can to help Mother Earth
I love the Strawberry lemonade batt, but every thing looks so pretty
Love the Goldenrod color! Tweeted as well!
16 oz of Merino and the Fall Spin In on Saturday. It must be destiny!
I love the silky cashmere DK weight yarn, I have the perfect project for it, but I must dye it first. Oh, it would be so good!!

BFL and tussah!?! Must be a dream to spin. I like her blueberry blues and lilac fields colors.
What's not to love, but Strawberry Lemonade and Nola batts look fantastic. Jane
I love the NOLA batt. So scrumptious looking! It's perfect for fall, but totally unexpected!
any thing she dyed is amazing, but if I have to choose I am in the mood for pumpkin pie
I love Purple Passion. Of course I do. There are so many beautiful things to choose from at WC Mercantile.

Love the Purple Passion Merino and Silk roving.
The gleaming whiteness of the 8 oz Skein of Undyed Merino and Silk Yarn caught my eye today.
