Funhouse Fibers Art Batt Giveaway!


This picture does NOT do this batt justice. "Sherwood Forest" from Funhouse Fibers is a highly textural blend of locks, and sparkles and woolies and it's just mouth watering- especially for a green freak like me!

This month, our fiber sleuths Shearlock the Sheep and Sonata the Alpaca have visited sunny California and are inspecting Funhouse Fibers to see exactly how much FUN Miki puts into her fibers. Inquiring minds want to know what the fun quota *really* is!

I made a couple of quick purchases before posting this giveaway- I always feel bad about doing that, but hey, I need fiber too. *wink* We're giving away this wonderful Sherwood Forest art batt today (how I wish I could keep it!). Just visit Funhouse Fibers today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We're giving away fibery stuff every day as part of our bonanza of giveaways- check back often!
