Natchwoolie Baby Camel Fiber Giveaway!

Woohoo! I love Natchwoolie!! And baby camel? Yum!! Natchwoolie's August submission was truly decadent. This is a "rare white" (even though it's tan) fiber and therefore a bit more expensive, but boy, oh boy is it soft!

If you've never had the pleasure of buying something from Natchwoolie, you really should treat yourself to some natural fiber goodness. Some of the blends she has is downright sinful.

*****ATTENTION****** UPDATE!

I made a major boo boo this morning. I could give you some excuses that would make sense as to why I might have done this, but it's done. I had the wrong shop address- Instead of Twisted Sunshine (what I know as twistedsun.etsy.com) I was writing Felting Sunshine (another lovely phattie of ours!) To remedy this mistake I would like you all to visit Twisted Sun instead of Felting sunshine and I am adding a second prize: any 4 oz of fiber sent to you in Twisted Sun's shop. Those of you who have already commented are entered once, comment again on Twisted Sun's shop to be entered again. Thanks for understanding!!
