Fiber Fancy Salt and Pepper Roving Giveaway!






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.

    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!

    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!

    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).
