Twisted Sunshine and Phat Fiber Silk/Merino giveaway!
I think this is the first time Twisted Sunshine has been blogged here- Yay!!! I LOVE this shop! Lots of locks, spinning fiber, and bags of bits to be had here!
This giveaway is gorgeous, nay, breathtaking!! This 4 oz of 50/50 merino and silk has a most lustrous shimmer and the colors, Oh the colors! Dark fuchsia pinks, sunset oranges, curry yellow and hints of blueish green round it all out. As if this wasn't pretty enough,Twisted Sunshine has included a lovely hand dyed silk scarf!
Please visit Twisted Sunshine today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Be sure and facebook/twitter for extra entries!
*****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!!
