Silver Sun Alpacas Strawberry Chocolate Cupcake Fiber Giveaway!


::groan::

Have I got a delicious giveaway for you! This amazing "Strawberry Chocolate Cupcake" fiber from Silver Sun Alpacas is absolutely delicious. So soft. So, So, So incredibly soft. And the pink and the brown together? Mouth watering!

I think if this fiber was food, I would eat it. Actually, I'm having a hard time NOT eating it now.
It's just like everything else in Ricky's shop- amazingly beautiful and almost edible.

We're giving away this amazing fiber today, and this is the last day of our Bonanza! Visit Silver Sun Alpacas today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for winners of all the lovely giveaways very soon, so please take a moment to twitter, facebook etc about them.

    What DON'T I like from Ricky? Right now I'm spinning one of the Spider Webs - it's a brown/cream alpaca/silk. Yummy!

    What I've had my eye on for a while, though, is the Lavender Vanilla alpaca/merino batt. Also the Pacific Blue mulberry silk top. And the Obsidian gem collection...

    I don't think there is anything from that shop that I wouldn't like, but if I really had to choose something, it'd be one of the multicolored silk or bamboo rovings. Eggplants and Pacific blue are incredibly pretty.
