Silver Sun Alpacas Batt Giveaway!





We have a lovely, lovely treat for a giveaway today!! One of my all time favorite fiber artists, Silver Sun Alpacas (Ricky) has sent in this gorgeous batt! Ricky's signature style- luxuriously soft, amazing colors, and just the right amount of sparkle. LOVE.

If you are thinking about learning to spin in 2012, I might suggest you give one of Silver Sun Alpacas Learn to Spin Kits a go. Wanting to handle the fiber you are attempting to spin goes a long way with learning! The inspiration!

To enter the giveaway: we'd love for you to visit Silver Sun Alpacas today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week, so be sure and share the love on Facebook, twitter, plurk, tumblr, pinterest etc for extra entries!

  8. I love the Willow spinning fibre batt because of its sheen and colour. Just looking at it gets me in a good mood, especially on these grey and dreary days. It is worth taking your time with the spinning just to admire the fibre and its colours a little longer.
