WCMercantile Marzipan Bamboo Giveaway!


I apologize for the lateness of this post! It was supposed to go up yesterday, but my sister gave birth Monday night and I made an impromptu trip to hold my new niece- so sweet!

You know what else is sweet? WCMercantile's "Marzipan" bamboo fiber! Young Katie of Rosie Lane Farm dyed this gorgeous colorway, and threw bits of firestar into the dyepots just for added sparkel. This marzipan gleams and shines better than any I've seen before!

WCMercantile is a fiber lover's one-stop-shop. Dyes, fiber, spinning wheels, clubs, she's got it all! The free shipping throughout the store makes it hard to pass up!

We're giving away this gorgeous "Marzipan" Bamboo today! Just visit WCMercantile, find something you love (I'm asking a lot, I know ;) ) and write about it in the comments section below. This giveaway is a part of our giveaway bonanza, check back every day for more!!

    So hard, I love everything about WCMercantile. I can't seem to stop buying from them.
    If I had to pick a favorite it would be the Alpaca and Tussah Silk Top in the chocolate color. So yummy.

    oh my, that Marzipan looks like it would melt in your mouth (or on your spindle).
    I was just thinking about something yellow for the summer and low and behold I open up WC Mercantile's etsy site and find Lemon Drop, too pretty.

    Oh my!
    I limited myself to fibre for my choice, otherwise it would take me too long!

    I ended up with the 4 oz Falkland Wool Top - Hand-Painted by Rosie Lane Farm. It doesn't have a colour name, but it is just so springy and gorgeous with the peaches and leaves. It almost makes me want to drop the mohair/mulberry on my spindle! (only almost because I can't afford, but gosh, if I could!)
