WCMercantile Rachael Batt Giveaway!


I'm so excited to have WCMercantile back in the box! This beautiful batt is called "Rachael" (from Bladerunner) and was dreamed up by Katie- Stephanie and Petra's right hand gal at the shop. I just can't tell you how beautiful this batt is in person- it's just amazing and I'm so excited to be giving it away here!

Before we get started with the giveaway, I want to tell you about a little promo WCMercantile has going on now. They are building a mailing list- I'm on it, it's awesome because then you are the first to know when things go on sale etc. All you need do is convo Stepahnie with your email address at her shop on etsy. She'll add you, and also enter you to win a $25 gift certificate to her shop! This promo is going on through the rest of June, but don't wait to sign up!

We're giving away this lovely batt today. Just visit WCMercantile, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below and don't forget to tweet/facebook about it for extra entries!

    I want a WildCarder so I can make art batts, because I'm really getting into those right now! I'd also lovelovelove to get some more bobbins for my wheel for the TdF!

    I'm absolutely in love with the Mackenzie Tartan Merino/Silk. Such a gorgeous combination that reminds me of the northern lights dancing in the dark black sky.

    Since I'm a beginner spinner I think the mystery bag looks particularly useful.

    I am lucky enough to have WC is my LYS, so the real question is what don't I like there. Everything they carry is beautiful. But, I really love the Rachael batt (I saw it in person and it is beautiful), the Merino top Julep, and the Merino Tussah silk top Purple Passion (I have spun the green colorway and it was beautiful!).

  37. purplepenguinJune 21, 2011 at 4:46 PM

    Of course, I would LOOOOVVVVVEEEEE any of the wheels or carders. But, if I have to choose a fiber, I really like 4 oz. Merino and Tussah Silk Top - Green Isle. The color is marvelous!

    I got my very first fibre from WCMercantile when I first started spinning! Everything is great, but I'm trying to decide if I need the handpainted firestar. It looks so pretty. I don't know if it would make a stable yarn on its own, though, and I don't have a drum carder or hand cards. (I'm still relatively new in my spinning obsession...)

    I <3 the Phat Fibre box idea. I wish I'd learned about it sooner. Absolutely fantastic idea!
