    I have not spin llama yet so this would be cool to win. I really like the peridot batt from the gem collection. I pretty much like the entire gem collection.

    Fade to Glory handspun is very pretty and the Shades of Grey batt is great--I love llama. But, I'm most impressed by Cameron's Rainbow Art Yarn. How cool is it that a 12 yr. old boy made it!
