OMG is this stuff gorgeous, or what?! Bonfire at Night is a deep Navy merino and a gorgeous, glossy bamboo in gold. I would LOVE to see this spun up- I think it would be gorgeous plied together.
If you haven't visited WCMercantile lately, be prepared to be overwhelmed- but in a very very good way. It's like a big candy shop for spinners! Marcus and I were fortunate to be able to visit over the summer and it was truly amazing!
Please visit WCMercantile, find something you love, and post about it below. We'll be giving away this gorgeous fiber! This is part of our giveaway bonanza- please keep checking back everyday!

Love the hint of lilac Merino and Tussah silk. YUM! Though I wouldn't say no to any of the spinning wheels! :)
Lilacs & Lilies superfine merino, please!
I love the Bonfire at night and the cute dye your own silk caps kit. What a neat way to jump into dying.
I keep going back to that Bonfire at Night because it's just gorgeous! But this one also makes me want to get my hands on it: http://www.etsy.com/listing/57818245/4-oz-merino-and-tussah-silk-top
I would love to have the superwash panda top. I recently tried spinning some and absolutely love it. It almost spins by itself.
WC Mercantile has always lots of gorgeous fiber to choose from... Today I choose the Rhythm and Blues Merino and Tussah Silk Top (with a special mention for the Seaweed batt: I've already bought two but every time I see one I'm tempted to buy it!)
FB as well
Gosh! This one is so hard. I loved the Seaweed in that pretty green, and I like the Lilacs and Lilies in the merino. I don't know. I like them all.
I love love love Bonfire at Night and the Seaweed batts! And now I see they are offering 2 oz. Mystery Batts which is *awesome*!
Ahhh, WC Mercantile, I love you so ... Today, my favorite item was the very first thing! That hand painted BFL is just the thing for spinning by the fireside in the evening!
Oh wow, the merino mixes are incredible to look at. I can't choose one, they're amazing.
How about the 4oz Merino and Tussah Silk Top in Mackenzie Tartan.
There's so much to love in this shop! Someday I hope to get to visit it in person, but not until I save up some extra money, lol. I love the colors in the Artisan Dyed Blue Face Leicester and Tussah Silk Roving - Mixed Berries.
So many great things, but I especially love their Tussah Silk Combed Top - Hand Painted fiber. The colors are gorgeous and vibrant.
So much to choose from, but I managed to narrow it down to the 4 oz. Merino and Tussah Silk Top - Mackenzie Tartan.
Everything I have gotten from WC Mercantile is wonderful! I would have to get some more baby camel and silk. So soft!

This is my favorite-I've been wanting to try milk top for a while.

i'm also loving the recycled carded sari silk, the rusty-colored kettle dyed kid mohair on the front page, and the "curiosity kit" of the bamboo and milk fibers!!
also, i love spinning silk, it's wonderful......

I like the http://www.etsy.com/listing/62279216/4-oz-blue-face-leicester-bfl-and-tussah I just want to touch it
I live just 20 minutes away from WC Mercantile, so I get to bask in their fiber anytime. My latest favorite is their dye your own Merino Tencel yarn. I have 2 sets of their Seaweed art batt and have purchased several of their dyed merino rovings. Everything is always wonderful!
I love the felting wool artists palette.
I love everything they have, truly. So I'll pick something at random and say my favorite is... the 4 oz Merino Wool Top in Merlot. =)
I like the "Lilacs and Lilies" Merino roving.
Hint of Lilac Merino and tussah silk is definitely my favorite, it reminds me of a frozen lake surrounded by snow.
I love the over-dyed BFL/tussah silk rovings - the heathery goodness is calling my name!
Whadaya mean 'find' something to love about WC Mercantile? Uhhh...just about everything!
They were one of the first stores on Etsy that I faved. Very affordable pricing, lovey colors, a wide range of fibers, as well as, equipment to play with those fibers!
Oh yeah, FREE shipping...that goes a looonng way now-a-days.
I love the Kettle Dyed Kid Mohair Roving. The colors are awesome and it looks so soft!
The 8 ounces Mulberry Silk Sliver would be great for a silk addict.
Hey, blue and gold! Go, Bears!
My favorites are the handpainted rovings near the top of the shop, the Falkland and these BFL-tussah blends. What beautiful heathered shades!
The Julep merino top looks fantastic!
FBed and tweeted.
Those hand-painted tops are agonizingly beautiful. I especially like the subtle rainbow hues!
These guys have some awesome stuff, and I love the "Free Shipping"! I've got my eye on some of the Falkland wool top dyed with some rich pinks, oranges and hints of green. Looks like a rose all wrapped up.
The Muscadine Grape colourway of the merino and tussah silk top is gorgeous. Love it!
The 8 oz Skein of Undyed Merino and Silk Yarn is beautiful!!
Thanks :)
I love this listing: http://www.etsy.com/listing/62281498/4-oz-blue-face-leicester-bfl-and-tussah The colors are beautiful!
I think the earth hues botanical dye kit looks like a lot of fun! Count me in!
I just added this fiber to my wish list last night. This is my favorite right now, BONFIRE AT NIGHT. I see so many possibilites of this being an amazing art yarn by adding some fun fur, beads, twists, ..... so many ideas.
Lots of lovely colors! Really like the Handpainted Milk Fiber top, Merino Wool Top in Julep, and the Bonfire at Night. :)
Love the Rhythm and Blues Merino and Tussah Silk! The Hand-Painted Kid Mohair Roving is fun too! I love the idea of the Mystery Batt too! Are you feeling adventurous? haha.

I love the 4 oz. Merino and Tussah Silk Top -- Rhythm and Blues. It's gorgeous!
I'm madly in love with that Seaweed batt!!
WC Mercantile has so many beautiful things to choose from. I love the overdyed BFL/silk tops. Can't decide on a specific one, they're all great!

I really like the Green Isle merino tussah silk... and may just buy it soon...
what is not to love? the bonfire at night is spectacular
The WC Mercantile undyed and natural colors really appealed to me. I thought this Dune colorway was very pretty.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/61867553/4-oz-merino-wool-top-dune-ships-free
I'm really tempted by the 4oz Falkland top hand painted in the pinks, grey-ish teals, and browns colorway. I've never used Falkland wool before, and these colors just are so beautiful together.
It's this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/62378885/4-oz-falkland-wool-top-hand-painted
This is my favorite fiber store. Stephanie and her mom, Petra, are the best!
love how they all seem to sparkle!
Wow there are some really gorgeous colours even in the undyed but my favourite is the Merino Wool Top in Aubergine.
I love everything but I really love the falkland with the greens and purples.
The recycled carded sari silk is so cool...you could spin such beautiful yarn from this
Oh, there's lots of nice stuff! I especially like the kettle dyed kid mohair - the oranges and golds is my favorite, I think.
I love the Wensleydale wool roving! The golden hues are just so gorgeous!

I'm constantly window shopping at WC Mercantile, since I first saw them here.
I will one day be able to order from them!
Currently coveting Merino and Tussah Silk Top -- Red Riddle
Stunning shop!! SO hard to choose a fave. Rhythm and Blues is probably my favourite though.
I tweeted! LilBeanBaby
I love surprises so I'm going to choose the .2 oz Mystery Batt -- Surprise Surprise Surprise --. I've bought from WC Mercantile so I know I wouldn't be disappointed.
I really like the 4 oz. Merino and Tussah Silk Top - Mackenzie Tartan - Ships FreeFrom WCMercantile.
My husband says I buy roving that is way girly. He would love this roving though! I love the Falkland Wool Top, purple and green are my favorite colors!
