Time to gear up for Tour de Fleece! Maybe part of your tour, you'd like to spin more exotic fibers like alpaca, but you want to get your feet wet first. Enter Fiber Fancy's May Spice Market Box submission "Salt and Pepper" aka: The Good Old Days. It's 2/3 Local Alpaca and 1/3 small farm Corriedale cross. That Corriedale in there makes it easier than straight alpaca to spin, and it gives it a nice bounce.
I'm pretty excited about giving this away, because I've handled it, and I think you'll really enjoy it! Just visit Fiber Fancy today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner soon, so make sure you use facebook and twitter and other social networking sites to your advantage- by letting everyone know about this, you'll be entered again in the drawing, just make sure you tell us where you did it.

All of the fibers are so gorgeous. But I love 'The Fire Within'-merino roving.
Ooooooo! The Cool Mountain Breeze roving caught my eye right away. I can almost "feel" it! :)
since I am a wine-drinker this one immediately caught my attention
Wines, Hand Dyed, 4 ounces, Falkland Wool Combed
very spinable 9and drinkable)
I love the Wine Punch sportweight handdyed pretty. I will say the Salt and Pepper is gorgeous spun up!
Cool Mountain Breeze jumped right out at me!

I like the old fashion candy sticks, they look so nice and tempting.
I have 2 oz. of this Salt and Pepper spun, and 4 more waiting for me. I really need more of it! It's such a soft blend.
But, if I have to choose something I don't already own from Diana, it would be the Roller Coaster roving!
I have always loved her various rainbow rovings. One of those helped my sister get through her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. I love her playing in the kettle colorways . . .
sucker punch!..i love the colors in it!..thanks! raineoc@yahoo.com
I love the colors in the "Hand Dyed, Carded 4 Ounces, Textrued Fiber Batt Set in Purple TidBits"! Gorgeous!
Love the Handspun, Two Ply Yarn in Currant Ideas with Superfine Merino!
Thanks :)
The boys of summer roving made my hands twitch with a desire to start spinning right now!
Hand Dyed, 4 ounces, Romney Wool Combed Top, Roving in Chocolate Candies Anything with Chocolate and candy in the title has to be AWESOME
The Cool Mountain Breeze colourway is beautiful.
I like the Cool Northern Nights yarn.
that modified rainbow is pretty durn cute!
I love the vividness of Habaneros (Falkland Wool Combed Top Roving). I'd totally be signed up for the Beatles Fiber Club if tuition didn't have to be paid.
OHHHHH.....I just ordered a spinning wheel!!! I can't spin yet but I sure can stash and Fuchsia Fancy is a sure winner.
If I had to choose just one, it would probably the Orchid Shades fiber - I've never spun BFL before. But it would be hard to choose just one!
That Habaneros falkland is perfect! Really, though, I'll just take it all please :)
I love the colors of the fibers and maybe doing something this wonderful will help my spinning to improve!
The Fire Within! Not usually the colors I'm drawn to, but something with the way you combined them drew my eye!
Shaun of the Dead looks cool. Would love to see what colors this involes.
love the Fashion Candy Sticks in Cotton Candy, Hand Dyed Bamboo and Superfine 19 Micron Merino Combed Top, Roving, PhatFiber Marchove the
FB it!
Tweetie! tweetie!
Love the Treasured Jewels sampler - such a pretty sheen!
I really like Hand Dyed, 5.7 ounces, BFL, Blue Faced Leicester Combed Top, Roving in Country Mountainside. It is like a country mountainside. purplepenguin
i love the beatles inspired Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Fiber Club. lol my dogs name is ringo :)
I am SUPER intrigued by the Shaun of the Dead SAL and kind of sorry I missed it...
I love the Fuchsia Fancy, Playing in the Kettle top. It's such a fantastic color.
I love the Cool Mountain Breeze BFL top
Posted on FB as well
I love Roller Coaster and the Cool Mountain Breezes. The colors are just beautiful!!
Fushia Fancy is SWEET!!!
But so is Cool Mountain Breeze... and The Fire Within... OH MY!

Beautiful roving! The Playing in the Kettle colorways are awesome!
It was a toss up. I liked The Firewithin, wines, slow start and playing in the kettle.
The one I love is called 'Wines' but I think it looks like Rasberry ripple icecream. Gorgeous.
And facebooked too
Love this! http://www.etsy.com/listing/74164268/cool-mountain-breeze-hand-dyed-4-ounces
All her fiber is so pretty but what caught my eye is

At least I tried to tweet not sure how
Impatients Garden is AMAZING. Love it all!
Facebooked!
I recently joined the Shaun of the Dead SAL and I can't wait!!! I also grabbed some 'Rootbeer' and 'Blossoms & Envy' roving and they are so soft I don't know if I can wait to TDF to spin them. Now I'm lusting after the BFL 'Country Mountainside' roving... I'm a sucker for earth tones (especially when mixed with jewel tones).
I like all of them but the 'boys of summer' stand out the most.
Wines! - lovely!
Ooh! Country Mountainside and Camping Memories are my favorites! I love those landscape shades!
The Roller Coaster Romney Wool! It's beautiful!
The Roller Coaster roving is very pretty
<3 the Hairy Sheep yarn.
I love Habaneros, it's so bright! and the Overgrown Gravel yarn colorway is lovely! So much to choose from and only 2 hands for spinning & knitting......
I can see why "Cold Mountain Breeze" was chosen as a featured item. It's absolutely arresting! Love it!
I love fiber fancy products. I've bougth from her many time. Great service!
Both BFL, but otherwise very different: Cool Mountain Breeze and Fuchsia Fancy for me, please :-)
The "Playing in the Kettle, Hand Dyed, 4 ounces, Domestic Wool Combed Top, Roving in Sweet Peppers" makes me want to use it as a soft, squishy pillow. :o)
Hard to choose because there's so much good stuff but I think my favorite would be the Cool Mountain Breeze roving.
I have been keeping an eye on The Roller Coaster roving. I don't know what it is about that colorway, but it makes me happy.
Playing in the Kettle, Sweet Peppers!

I love her shop! I want to spin the Sweet Peppers and the Habaneros and ply them together.
Too many things to love! I think I like the Cool Mountain Breezes BFL combed top best.
I like the roving in Wines.
Love all the fibers, but the "good old days" is really calling my name - I got a sample in my May box, and it's scrumptious!

*such beautiful colors* (and some of my favorite fibers--alpaca & llama)
love the fire within
I LOVE Orchid Shades, beautiful purples!
Lots of great colors, but the monochromatics are lovely too. I love the BFL Rusts. Wouldn't that spinn up nicely?
I love "the Perfect Lawn" merino braided roving. Always wanted a perfect lawn.
