I have to say, this Steampunk Chessie fiber is AMAZING! It's super soft, deep purple and has a hint of sparkle- and you know how I love my sparkle!
If you haven't visited Friends in Fiber lately, you haven't gotten your recommended dose of the "Spin Free or Dye" ladies and that is a real shame! Let me tell you, Jan and Peg are two talented fiberistas! And because I love you, I'm going to let you know that they have a whole section that is 20% off right now. Tee hee! Aren't you glad you have me watching your back? ;)
We're giving away this gorgeous Steampunk Chessie Batt! Just visit Friends in Fiber, find something that strikes your fancy and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week and remember we will award extra entries for helping spread the good word about the Spin Free or Dye gals!

OOoh, "Autumn in New Hampshire" is my perfect colors!
Love Autumn in New Hampshire, but Elegant Eggplant catches my eye, too. And I positively salivate every time I click on the "Steampunk" batt listing. Seriously, that saturated purple is exquisite!
The lilac dreams spinning fiber is gorgeous. =)
Look no further. The Eggplant is a winner
You aren't kidding! That Chessie sample was wonderful to spin. I have been lusting over that gold Angora/Cashmere batt ever since I investigated the shop!
that alpaca silk uptown chessie is just gorgeous!
I could not choose just one yarn or roving to comment on because they are all so beautiful!! The rich, deep, and intense color is amazing, especially the deep plum colors!! So I'm commenting on the Lavender Bottle Wands! They are so awesome!!! I've never seen anything like them!!! I cannot wait to get mine!!!
I love the cranberry bog bfl and just got my cranberry swirl batt in the mail today. so lovely. Jan was telling me they need a just for V.Barton section to the store. lol off to spread the word vbarton24 at gmail dot com Steampunk chessie is awesome. I already got my uptown chessie and love the colors and the shine.
wow, as soon as I clicked over, I feel in love with the Cranberry Bog BFL, freaking beautiful!
How can I pick just one - the batts are my favorite - maybe the red/rose Angora blend batt?

Alpaca Silk Uptown Chessie is beautiful. Purple is one of my favorite colours and looks so delicious.
I loved the fibers from that store so much that I've added it to my favorites. And the Cranberry BFL is haunting me right now, begging me to buy it. My bank account says I can't afford it till Thursday, but my heart says it's so pretty it will be gone by then. What is a girl to do?!
I am already in love with the Angora/Merino/Silk Handspun.. Now if only I could save up enough to knit my boyfriend a sweater from it, I think cuddling up to him this winter would be that much more heavenly. =P

A cowl made from the baby camel handspun would be wonderful!
Victoria Barton's FB linky sent me here. Oh I'm drooling over any and all the cashmere especially the angora/cashmere batts. I've been knitting a cowl for this coming winter and that cashmere would be so heavenly against my neck. !~sigh~!
I really love Elegant Eggplant, Uptown Chessie and Downtown Chessie. Gee, I guess I love purple, huh? :)

The corriedale batt in deep forest is beautiful!
The BFL Top 4 oz. Downtown Chessie is amazing. I might just have to get that...
No question. I'm in the fall mood for some Pumpkin Patch BFL. Gorgeous stuff.
I really love the Octoberfest fiber!
Elegant Eggplant is stunning, and is now at the top of my "To Buy" list.
I love the Alpaca/Silk roving "Uptown Chessie"!!!!!!
My eyes are drawn to the steampunk Chessie dark and brooding alpaca-silk batt! It's such a lovely deep purple!
I am a sucker for lovely batts and I loved http://www.etsy.com/listing/59667072/angoracormo-blend-spinning-batt-21-oz

The Handspun Alpaca/Silk Uptown Chessie Oct. Phat Fiber is so elegant!
Oh my, that Elegant Eggplant is delicious!
The Elegant Eggplant colorway is very pretty, some nice shades of purple with a little bright color thrown in
Pumpkin Patch and Elegant Eggplant are amazing. I love them both.
Ooo! Love everything, especially the Hand Dyed Ratatouille BFL <3 Sharing this on Facebook and Twitter :)
I'm laughing over the needle eggplant. That is such a cool thing to see!
I like the pumpkin patch because it has a pumpkin in the middle of it. Such a neat thought put into it!
I actually just bought Uptown Chessie alpaca/silk roving and a corriedale batt from Friends in Fiber. I'm definitely thinking a scarf or cowl out of the alpaca/silk roving, I want that fiber on my skin!
Love the Cranberry Fog and Pumpkin Patch BFL top. Lovely fall colors!
ooh... the elegant eggplant merino!!! think I may just have to buy some....
To pick just one! Impossible! lol but if I had to pick just one the lilac dreams roving is to dye for!

hard choice - they are both dreamy.
Love the Downtown Chessie! Such a pretty BFL! I also wanted to let y'all know that we featured this month's phat fiber box on our videocast which can be found at www.theknitgirllls.com
The angora/cashmere and tuhassa silk batts are to die for!
Pumpkin Patch BFL Top 2.9 oz is soooo beautiful!

LOVE the cranberry blog - seller going into my etsy faves. Tweeted too!
I think my stash could really use some lavender sachets!
I could definitley go for some of the angora yarn... in grey... oh yea!
I just love the handspun alpaca/silk Uptown Chessie
I already have some elegant eggplant, otherwise that would be at the top of my list. I have been admiring the cranberry bog BFL. I also think that Pat's hand spun is amazing. I especially admire her elegant eggplant.
LOVE!!!! Wow, the October Phat Fiber Alpaca/Silk Batt 2 oz. (which I think is the same as this giveaway) is amazing, as are both Angora/Cashmere Batts 2 oz. I'm partial to black angora.

I love the Autumn in New Hampshire BFL 4 oz since here in SF we don't get much fall color.
I love all of the elegant eggplant collection and also the gorgeous fiber in this giveaway.

Elegant Eggplant keeps calling my name. Beautiful!
I'm into purple & glittering & glistening batts (that's the crow in me :) and when I saw the "October [PhF] Alpaca/Silk Batt" I stopped like a Deer in Headlights. Wow! Then I kept looking around and saw the Angora/Cashmere in the Dusky Lavender (drooled over that one); the Angora/Cashmere-"Ruslan on the Moss"--which screams "Spin Me" or at least "Cuddle Up with Me"; Tasha, the WonderBunny's Fawn Angora; and the Needle Felted Eggplant (which my master gardener friend would adore). Congrats to the Friends of Fiber's presentation--especially with the Elegant Eggplant Needle Felted Sampler Pack. Kudos on making me want to stick my hand through the monitor to pick up a batt several times! Also, their clever Design Your Own BFL/Silk Batt. _But_ Hands Down: My favorite was the Handspun Alpaca/Silk Uptown Chessie Oct. PhF. 80/20. Between the over dyeing & the 3-ply, the color play is just amazing. (I know they said 4 colors, but I think there's more--or my monitor needs adjusting :o) What a creative duo of accomplished carders, dyers, and spinners!
Love the Angora/Merino/Silk Handspun Laceweight Yarn!

The baby camel handspun laceweight is to die for!
I'm torn between the October Steampunk 2 oz batt and the Eggplant handspun.
What great fiber. Pumpkin patch BFL caught my eye. And then the Cranberry Swirl batt. And then the handspun camel. And Elegant Eggplant.
I want to spin Autumn in New Hampshire BFL. Fabulous depth of color.
I'm in a yarn-y period and my choice is the angora handspun
FB as well
I love the Autumn in New Hampshire colors. They capture the season perfectly!
i have to say, the all the shades of purple are DIVINE!!! Can you tell I'm a bit partial??
Mmm "Handspun Elegant Eggplant" gets my vote. Or, really, anything purple! And there's a LOT of purple to choose from! My kind of shop!
The Needle Felted Eggplant is awesome! It looks so real!
I need to have some "Elegant Eggplant" in my life right now!!!
i love the Handspun Elegant Eggplant Superwash Merino Yarn! so pretty!

The Uptown Chessie Handspun is beautiful. It looks so smooth. The colours are gorgeous.
They do love their egplants, but I think that the Angora/Cormo Blend in Cranberry Swirl is amazing looking.
Elegant Eggplant Superwash Merino Nylon 4 oz.
sooo pretty love the greens and the purples
Pumpkin Patch BFL Top is gorgeous!
Ooo! Elegant Eggplant Superwash Roving!
Love the Handspun Alpaca/Silk Uptown Chessie!!
Thanks :)
Oh I love the Elegant Eggplant colorway!!!
Twitter too... @silhouette169
I absolutely adore the Alpaca Silk Uptown Chessie, I'm practically drooling here! What an awesome giveaway!!
Mmm, the "Cranberry Swirl" batt for me. *swoons* Red is one of my new favorite colors, and the batt is so intensely red! And not just that, but shades of red.
Love the cranberry bog bfl. Lovely and tastey. :)
Oh, my stars. WANT! And if I can't get Steampunk Chessie, I'll take this:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/60168701/alpacasilk-roving-4-oz-uptown-chessie
In fact, I'll bookmark that RIGHT NOW!
Obviously I loved the Chessie batt, but the handspun alpaca/silk yarn looks really yummy!
I went back to FiF so that I could email my Guild, and sadly some one scooped up that luscious ultra purple/eggplant batt. Rats! But there's plenty for any guild member to buy--and time for me to get something asap! Thanks Jessie for the HINT; because I get so busy, I sometimes forget to respond to the business cards & samples that take my breath away.
Love the Alpaca Silk roving - Uptown Chessie in the dark purple and green, and the felted eggplant.
