Silver Sun Alpacas Drop Spindle Kit Giveaway!

Whew! We drove most of the day to get away from the blizzard that is sweeping across country! I think we may be in safe territory now- or at least perhaps we won't get sacked as hard as other places! Times like these make me really glad I know how to spin, because it comes in handy for entertainment (and warmth) purposes when the power is out.

Ricky from Silver Sun Alpacas has sent in a gorgeous spindle kit giveaway! It's slightly different than the one pictured, but you will get a spindle, instructions, gorgeous alpaca fiber all in an organza bag. Perfect for beginners and experienced spindlers alike!

I adore Silver Sun Alpacas- especially Ricky's batts! For some reason, she's always got just the perfect amount of sparkle and softness!

What do you like in Silver Sun Alpacas shop? Let us know in the comments section, and you'll be entered to win this beautiful spindle kit! Make sure you let your friends on Facebook and twitter know about this! You'll get extra entries for social networking.
