Oooh! I'm so excited to be hosting this giveaway! I am smitten with Wild Hare's progression dyed fiber! How fun would it be to spin this? Knit this? Awesome!

    There are so many beautiful fibers in her shop, but Silver Fox is calling to me! Plus I would love to be able to get on of those Mach II spinning wheels.

    The Silver fox alpaca/merino/silk roving caught my eye right away. I bet it's going to be a popular pick!

    It would be easier to list what I *don't* want! But some of my faves are the Spring Greens wool roving, the Silver Fox alpaca/merino/tussah blend, the Irish Eyes BFL, the S'Mores BFL, and the Bengali silk top.

    RTed, too!

    So hard to choose... a hard choice between the mulberry silk top hand dyed ruby and the alpaca merino silk top hand dyed crab apple, but if it has to be just one, the first one would be it. Though if I weren´t on a fiber diet, I would get both!

    I love those greens in the rovings: Irish eyes and Spring greens are very much me. Of course as a beginner, Learn To Spin Drop Spindle Kit has a special appeal especially since the cheapest puttogetherbymeviaonlineshopping set is $25, and didn't include a DVD.
