WC Mercantile bfl/tussah fiber giveaway!


WCMercantile has a new look to their website! It's really quite beautiful! It's really easy to navigate, and I must say, when I see pages of spinning wheels, my little heart starts to flutter!

We're giving away WCMercantile's gorgeous contribution to the Bollywood box: "My Love is Gone0 Arya 2" which is a beautifully dyed superfine merino/bfl/tussah silk and Ramie blend. It's super super soft and would be just a dream to spin!

To enter to win this top, please visit WCMercantile, find something you love and write about it in the comments below. We'll be drawing for a winner labor day weekend, so please twitter/facebook/plurk this for an extra entry!

    The giveaway is my favorite. Though if I could afford it I want one of the spinning wheels after a lengthy try out on each of them.

    The WC Mercantile is a wonderful, cozy, shop. If you get the chance, you should definitely go! They very recently got me started on the drop spindle and I hope to own a wheel soon because I can't get enough! Would love to try my hand at spinning bfl/tussah!

    Ok, so dreaming big here - I don't have any wheel spinning experience but I have to say, in drooling over wheels, I think the Kromski Fantasia is just so unique and elegant. So I'd have to say, on a big wish - I LOVE it. :)

    My all time favorite item was the sampler of non-wool fibers I bought last year, but I'm also pretty fond of the "Aggie" dyed Merino. It spun up to a lovely squooshy 2 ply worsted weight, and will be part of a hat for my husband (class of '09!). I love the color so much I will be ordering more for me someday too!

    Well, I am on quite a natural color kick, so I'd go for the black BFL top, which is more of a warm gray/brown. And, you know, if money were no object, I'd have to go for one of the smaller, portable spinning wheels, like the Ashford Joy or the Schacht Ladybug!
