Girl Meets Spindle Black Tie Batt giveaway!
I really wish everyone could cop a feel of this carded batt by GirlMeetsSpindle!! It's really the epitome of LUXE! Mongolian Cashmere, Mulberry silk, Alpaca, Merino and Angelina combine to make this truly special! So special, in fact, that Shearlock and Sonata went to investigate the GirlMeetsSpindleStudio. We hope Rachel posts pictures of their adventures soon.
The shop is a little on the lean side right at the moment, but I wanted to share my excitement over her 100% tencel fiber. Rachel sent me a small sample to spin and it was really lovely, and turned into a beautiful glossy little yarn. I see she has some in her "nebula" colorway which is great! I recently spun a larger yarn out of this colorway and it's truly amazing!
If you would like to be entered to win this BLACK TIE batt, please visit GirlMeetsSpindle today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'lll be counting those extra twitter/facebook/plurk/pinterest updates as extra entries so be sure and spread the word!

phoenix garden and nebula are so pretty
Total tossup between Nebula and Tahiti sunrise. I've always loved her work. <3
Tweeted, fb'd & blogged on personal knitting/spinning/fiber blog.
Love the blue bayou silk hankies.
I would love to spin some "Winter Morn" in any base, but I haven't tried banana roving yet. It says baby girl accessories to me....
Shady Brook Alpaca/Cashmere please!
I'm really interested in the banana fiber, any of the colors. Love how you paint colorways on multiple bases, it's awesome to see how they're so different.
Love this color, and silk is always amazing! http://www.etsy.com/listing/89852602/mulberry-silk-sliver-semi-solid-rose
Love the colors in Ramie Roving - PHOENIX GARDEN - Hand Painted Spinning Fiber!
facebooked
The mulberry silk is lovely!!!!!
nebula colorway is lovely
I love the color coordination in Nebula and Winter Morn, and the giveaway is fantastically elegant
Both Phoenix Garden & Winter Morning are calling my name!! Fortunately I have some birthday money coming my way that has already been designated for fiber!! Favoriting this shop right now!!
I'm curious about banana fiber, as I've only ever tried it carded into batts in small amounts. Phoenix Garden is may choice for that experiment. On the safe side I would like the alpaca/cashmere Shady Brook. "Safe" as in I'm unable to see how alpace/cashmere could be anything but delicious!
I fell in love with the Banana Roving Winter Morn...yummy. And then there is the Mulberry Silk Silver in Semi Solid Rose.
tweeted, pinterest with FB connection
The Mongolian Cashmere/Angora/Silk is beautiful. I liked it in the Tahiti colorway.
Wow at the rose coloured mulberry silk.
I really like the tahiti sunrise. I also pinned it on pinterest.
Love the Winter Morn colorway
I love the silk hankies in Blue Bayou and all the stuff in the Nebula colorway.
I feel like I'm in a candy store with all the pretty colors and pictures! I love the Banana Roving in Winter Morn. I have never heard of this before it sounds awesome.
My favorite is the Mongolian Cashmere/ Angora/ Merino (20/20/60) Roving - TAHITI SUNRISE.
I love her painterly cashmere samples! Faved them both in her shop.
Put on twitter, fb, and pintrest too!

I have been wanting to try your "winter morn" colorway for a while now. I also really love the black tie. Oh, and I would love to try your loose cashmere too, LUV.
winter morning in the alpaca rayon blend... I might have to do some shopping this week. We'll see how I have the budget for the month though. Thanks for giving me a new store to stalk.
Pinned a few at pinterest.com/jexxican I bet you can guess which board they went to.
SO many pretty colorways at Rachael's store, I love winter morn and crushed cranberries =D

I gotsta get me some of that banana roving, colorway Winter Morn. Truly I do.
The "Nebula" colorway is truly drool-worthy!
The Cashmere/Angora/Merino in Tahiti Sunrise is lovely!
The Royal Baby Alpaca/Cashmere blend in Shady Brook. I can just imagine that spun up into a gossamer wrap, while I lounge next to a bubbling brook sometime this summer. A whisp of soft warmth to protect bare arms.
Shared on my facebook!
"Nebula" is a great colorway!
I was drawn to the colors of the yak/merino roving Fishbowl.

I really like the Shady Brook colorway - and I'd be happy with either the Yak/Merino mix or the Alpaca/Cashmere. They both sound yummy!
Oh wow, I could easily splurge on the loose cashmere lot in Mystic Meadow, or the cashmere-angora-merino top in Tahiti Sunrise!
The banana roving is FUN!!!

I like the Silk Hankies a lot, especially these: BLUE BAYOU varigated!

Banana Roving - Crushed Cranberries is my favourite! The perfect mix of colour :)
Black Tie?!? I've been eyeing these batts for a while ;)
I'd have to say the Alpaca/Rayon roving in "Nebula" is my favourite! I really like the "Winter Morn" colourway too! It would totally match some sock yarn that I have stashed!
(I totally would have picked the tencel too, but I'm not that talented of a spinner to love it in roving form yet :/)
Shared on Facebook, Twittered, and Google Plus :)
Yak / Merino Roving - SHADY BROOK - sooooo inviting. and the banana roving - crushed cranberries - is delcious!

WOW! Awesome fiber! Amazing talent in dying! How to narrow it down!?! The first thing that jumped at me was the Shady Brook yak merino roving. I might need some of that!

I really like the fact that she offers a grab bag. I love the surprises you can come up with in a grab bag :-)
I have been staring at the Nebula colorway for months now, trying to convince my pocketbook that it would be okay for me to buy it. I love how vivid the colors are on the tencel. Totally smashing!
I like the Syrah coloway. In fact, I already have it in bamboo! The silk one sounds nice.
Oh Do I love, The Sierra roving with the mix of Camel and Tussah Silk. Yummy!!!!!!
