Katie from Hilltop Cloud in Wales sent in several lovely "Coedlan" patterns, complete with buttons she made herself! The Coedlan pattern is a beautiful cowl/scarf that would show of that special skein of soft handspun. Katie took the guesswork out of it all, and included several BFL/Seacell batts in this beautiful heathery lilac for this giveaway!
Everything is so soothing to look at at Hilltop Cloud today! So many natural fibers and it makes me want to touch everything there! She's got a british Wool sampler for sale, I would personally love to try!

The British Breed spinning fiber sampler is a great idea!
I love the FL Alpaca Roving- British Blue Faced Leicester, Baby Alpaca, Sea Cell 100g. It's just a really classy, lovely color.
fb'ed and tweeted
I love the Cloudy Rainbow color on BFL and Silk!
Well, that sounds just incredible!
I've been a fan of Hilltop Cloud for a while, and I have adored the Felix Felicis for a while.
Wow, I love her shop. I'd love to try the British Breed fiber sampler. I'm also swooning over Ribena and Frosted Pine.

Well, I love that sampler box, I'd love to do some kind of colorwork piece using all the natural sheepy goodness. (PINNED that item to PINTEREST)
And, speaking of natural colors, that Bracken-dyed BFL is also so beautiful. I'm fascinated by foraging for natural dyestuffs...
Yum! I love working with natural colors.
Love the Valentine roving!
The British Breed fiber sampler looks interesting. Lime Cordial looks refreshing. Lumos looks luxurious. Candy Floss looks cute. Need I go on, or is it obvious already that I pretty much want everything?
Three of the pick and mix batts from Hilltop are getting to be my monthly treat to self. Second set of socks in the plying stage atm... now when is the end of the month again :)
Black Wool Silk Roving- Black Welsh Mountain and Tussah Silk. Love it! Debbie H
The BFL Silk Roving in Cloudy Rainbow is awesome! I love all of her color changing fiber but rainbow just speaks directly to my heart. ^^
The sampler box. The colors look lovely together and would make beautiful color work. The best part - I don't have to struggle to pick colors.

The wool purple-merino silk shetland in amethyst is so deep and beautiful. What a gorgeous colorway.
I love the variety of british breeds!
aThe Luxury Spinning Fiber with Cashmere, Silk and BFL (OhMy!) looks lovely!
Love the BFL, Cashmere, Silk, White Roving! I also love the British Breed spinning fiber sampler. :)
The Light Rainbow color changing roving is awesomely fantastic! How I'd love to spin that! And I've tweeded too!
I would love to try the BFL and baby camel roving. Love the color and would like to try the camel as I haven't spun it before.

Love the black wool silk!
cloudy rainbow bfl/silk roving :)
I like the "limeade" and "kelly" rovings. Very pretty greens.
I am a button junkie (in the beginning stages, please don't worry about me) so those wood buttons make me very happy. Those 2"ers might be just the thing for that crocheted children's couch bed I was dreaming about the other night. Now to find some yarn and hook thick enough...
The British Breed Spinning Fiber Sampler looks great. What a wonderful sampler!
I love the color subtleties in the "Black Wool Bamboo Spinning Fiber - British Jacob Wool, Bamboo Roving 100g." So lovely!
OH my goooooodness. So much prettiness. But on a cloudy January day, I want the Dark Rainbow roving, a blend of Black Welsh and Silk!!
Would love to compare all these fibers side by side:

I couldn't resist and bought the British breed sampler. Everything is lovely and I am glad to have received the pattern and a button in my box this morning! Thank you for the opportunity.
Ooo, I'll have to get the sampler one of these days... Would be perfect for my fiber journal I'm making
So I just shopped at Hilltop cloud before I saw who today's giveaway was from! I bought my first ever batts from her shop, so those were my favorite.

I LOVE that "Iron Oxide" Batt...so much depth in the color.
I like the black wool silk roving and the BFL Alpaca roving - such pretty natural colors. Although, I think I like the grey and lilac batts in the kits even more. The naturals with wisps of color are so pretty!

Okay, okay; I like the breed sampler kit, and the undyed Massam/milk protein fibre, and the BFL alpaca, and the BFL/cashmere/silk... and inthe other stuff I like the Closing Darkness roving, and the Amethyst Merino/silk fibre.
