H.A.Y. Orchid Merino Giveaway!
I can't tell you the self-restraint I've had to practice while writing this blog post. Whenever I go visit H.A.Y. I melt and go all gooey inside and then my click to buy finger starts twitching!
Deb is what I like to call a "Charter" phattie- she's been with us a !time and it makes me really proud! Her sense of color is other-worldly! Why, just look at this 'Orchid' merino we're giving away- doesn't it have the same colors as those hard-to-grow species?
We're giving away this delectable braid today, just visit H.A.Y. , find something that you love (I know, I ask too much sometimes!) and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing soon, so don't delay!

Oh, the 'Beach Cottage' merino/silk is so beautiful! And the 'Namaste' Falkland looks exactly like the type of thing I'd love to spin to relax... it would make a lovely hooded scarf, I'm thinking.
So much pretty to choose from! I do really like the colorway being given away, but Organic merino, hand dyed, 'Fresh Melon' is beautiful too
The Organic merino 'Reef' is my favorite colors. It's all so pretty!
Man there's a lot to love there!
When I first clicked, there was the "SERENE", sock blank, and I thought that had to be it. But then I saw some of the color-based sampler packs, the rainbow leicester locks, the "Ferosh" art batt. She definitely has a way with color, and I like it!
Falkland wool top, 'Namaste'. hand dyed, 4 oz. is soooo beautiful!!!
The Sunflowers art batt is really fabulous!
I just love Rustci, Reef and cloudy day. I would really like to see them spun up. Gorgeous!
All of the Scrappy Treasure Art Batts look wonderful but I think batt numbers 24, 28 and 30 are my favorites. So many pretty things though, it's hard to choose any favorites!
I love the Avatar handspun.
Lovely colors!
I think my favorite thing in the shop is the Fresh Melon organic merino. The colors are gorgeous!
So pretty and delicious, it's really hard to choose.
I love the 'Moody Blues' Milky Buns Milk Latte Spinning Fiber. (Mmm, latte and buns...)
holy cow, that stuff is sooooooo pretty. The "Aquatic" just made me squee a little lol. I will def have to bookmark that etsy store.
Loving the Panda Top in Lush Valley! The golden cocoons are quite intriguing, too! You are right- hard not to click and buy! if only i had money in my account!-lol!
I really want some of the Natural Golden Wild Silk Cocoons, they are beautiful. Can just imagine spinning them into something, or using them with my felting.
I'd love to try any of those art batts. They look beautiful!
The Scrappy Treasure art batt is the first item to jump and call my name. I also like the Johnny Jump Up braid. Oh, and Rustic too. And Ferosh... so many lovelies, it's hard to pick!
So much to choose from! The art batts looks like great fun to spin!
I think Namaste and Aquatic are my favourite. Such interesting combinations. Beautiful.
There is absolutely no way I could pick a favorite. They are all so beautiful. I do like the Rustic, but the Ingeo is lovely, as well as Amethyst Geode. Going to this shop to "pick" one would be impossible! Love them all.
Never easy to choose among H.A.Y.'s fiber... this time I go for the "Lush Valley" Panda top.
FB as well
Love the Merino samplers, especially the aqua and the purple!

I love the
'Amethyst Geode',art batts my colors & textures love um
Love the Firestar Rainbow Sampler Pack. The colors really pop and the sparkles are 'dazzling'!
I love the Fresh Melon...it's beautiful!
Love the Johnny Jump UP BFL. :) But, I could go for just about any hand dyed roving. Really. Beautiful stuff!
Oh, I like the 'Johnny Jump Up" BFL. I'm on a BFL kick again...
Alright, all I can say is that I bookmarked this site! Everytime I thought I found my favorite, something else caught my eye! The colors are very unique...I love the blends. The color combinations are unusual, yet seem so right together!
Too many pretty colors to choose from! Especially like the Rustic colors (domestic wool hand dyed mill ends). The organic merino also sounds heavenly (especially like Cloudy Day).
I really like the braid called Reef. They remind me of patina'd copper, weather worn and beautiful! I am sure it would spin into something lovely.
ooooh I love the artbatts, and especially Scrappy treasure batt nr 24! *DROOOOOOL*
Love the Hand Painted Sock Blank, 'SERENE', fingering weight yarn :)
Thanks!
Rustic and Namaste are my top favorites! I really love the deep color blend of Rustic, especially.
I love Johnny Jump Up roving and the Scrappy Treasure art batts!!
Jess
I love the Penny Candy roving.
Dazzled Aart Batts and Borealis Art Yarn-no doubt about it!!

Hoping I'm not too late to enter! This is such a beautiful shop - way too much to choose from
Amethyst Geode and Namaste are my absolute faves - although of course I would want everything if I could ^_^

Oh my gosh, I am so in love with sunflowers and blue skies. Such a beautiful blend of colors. That cheery yellow, that light and puffy bluish white, that down to earth brown. It's so wonderful.
Wow! I love the scappy art batts and the "Rustic" mill end roving.
the johnny jump up is super pretty. I need more purple BFL in my life.
Ferosh is gorgeous!
LOVE the milk fiber buns "Moody Blues". So pretty!
I am in love with every single one of those Scrappy Batts. They are delicious!
I'm in love with Scrappy Treasure Batt no. 26. It reminds me of camping. The trees (gorgeous green), grass (raffia) and the campfire (yellow and orange). Just beautiful!
I love the BFL wool top in Johnny Jump Up and also the handspun art yarn in Borealis.
I love the johnny jump up roving
I love all the spinning stuff, but the instant gratification of the sock blank.....well....what can I say?
Panda Top hand dyed "lush valley"... YUM!
I've always liked the Moody Blues, so why not go with the Moody Blues milky buns.
Wow! Ilove the Sunflowers art batt. The Ferosh caught my eye too, but the Sunflower is best.
That was hard!! What a great, bright, pretty shop!
I love the organic merino "Aquatic!"
Oh wow, I just love those art batts. Especially number 26!
OMG, too many pretties to pick from! If my back was against the wall and I could choose only one, I'd go with the merino top called Persephone.
I am loving the Pansy Explosion superwash BFL. What socks that would make!
The Borealis art yarn is extremely pretty! I love it!
I like the Milk Latte Spinning Fiber, Milky Buns, 'Moody Blues', 2.0 oz. I've yet to spin with Milk fiber and this looks like a great way to try it!
Hey..I love how the colors of the yarn on the H.A.Y. site just jump off the page! Stuningly colorful. I would be proud to knit any of them!!
I love this Domestic Wool, hand dyed, mill ends, 'Rustic'. 4 oz., great blend of colors.
This woman really does have a great eye for color! I really love all the combinations she has on the website. I really liked the Organic merino, hand dyed, 'Reef', 4 oz. though. It totally looks like a rocky beach with waves on it! It's amazing!
I vote "Holly" because that made me gooey inside! :D
