Picking and Spinning merino braid giveaway!


Fresh off the dyeing rack- Pickin and Spinning's May samples were inspired by the song "Are you going to Scarborough Fair". Now I'm going to have that song in my head all day :)

I'm excited to say that Kim now offers batts in her shop! The Scarborough Fair batt is so lovely too! There really is something for everyone at Pickin and Spinning!

We're giving away a full sized Merino braid version of Kim's May samples! Just visit PickinandSpinning today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Extra entries awarded to those who facebook and twitter about this as well!!
