Gears, butterflies and Roses fiber giveaway!


Doesn't llama, cashgora, tussah silk, bfl and angelina sound like a recipe for a good time?! I was totally blown away by The Critter Ranch's October Phat Fiber contribution! Sue created a beautiful digital montage and then worked from those colors to create these beautiful art-yarn kits. They're so delectable and the colors are just amazing! I was fortunate to be able to spin a little last night and hopefully I'll ply it later tonight and be able to finish this in time for fiber friday :)

I'm pretty much have a fiber crush on The Critter Ranch- especially her last2 Phat Fiber features- just amazing!!!

We're giving away a small art yarn kit for you! Just visit The Critter Ranch, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below here. We're going to be drawing for a winner later in the week, please remember to FB and Twitter etc for extra entries!

  17. I've got to admit that this is one time that I really couldn't decide because all the colors are so amazing. I do like the Fall yarn though but I couldn't decide on any of the batts or combed etc. Terrific shop that I'll have to mark as a place to go to for yarn.
