A Dyeing Wish Fiber and Spindle Giveaway!


For our beautiful February box, Angelique of A Dyeing Wish created a gorgeous colorway inspired by the birthstones of her own family members. She lovingly calls this "Family Jewels". It's really gorgeous, beautifully prepared with hints of nylon firestar for strength.
I keep picturing this spun up... a beautiful gemstone barberpoled yarn... yum!

Speaking of spinning! Did I mention we're also giving away this beautiful handcrafted spindle? Angelique is a woman of many talents!!!

We're giving away this beautiful fiber and spindle set! Please visit A Dyeing Wish today, find something you love, and come back here to the blog and write about it. We'll be counting your facebook and twitter updates about this as extra entries, so be sure and do your part before the end of the week!

    Such awesome batts on a Dyeing Wish's Etsy shop! My favorite thing by far is the "With Envy" batt. The dark and bright greens would make a really beautiful and subtly variegated yarn. I'm even envious of it, haha. Might have to snag it for the stash actually >_>

    Thanks for the great chance at an awesome giveaway!
