Pickin and Spinning Luna Moth Roving Giveaway!



I love this month's theme! I love luna moths! I love that Kim of Pickin and Spinning created this beautiful bamboo and merino roving for a giveaway!

If you're a new spinner, and a little concerned about trying to spin bamboo, but are enchanted by it's gossamer glossiness, fear no more! Try a blend with wool and you will have an easier time spinning it than straight bamboo (which takes a little more practice).

We're giving away this beautiful Luna Moth Roving from Pickin and Spinning today! Just visit the shop, find something you love, and come back here and write about it in the comments section below. Extra points if you let your facebook and twitter friends know about it!

    The luna moth fiber is hands down my fave thing in the shop, but the butterfly stitch marker set is awfully cute, too.

    I'm hoping that some more stitch marker holder necklaces will show up in her shop. There was one I wanted last month, but I didn't have the money when I saw it and by the time I did, it was gone . . . I love her row counter necklace.
