I think spring is an excellent time to learn to spin! We have a lot of spinning events coming up this summer, it would be great to see everyone participate in!
Dawning Dreams is such a lovely place to visit online! And, Dawn herself, I consider to be a friend and I'm so glad to know her. She can sit down with endless patience and warp a loom, bend wires for shawl pins, card a batt, spin a yarn, etc. etc. I jokingly call her D.I.Y. Dawn ;)
We're giving away this beautiful hand made wooden drop spindle Dawn has created. This design looks so very much like gears and I love the idea of a wooden gear- anything, but drop spindle just puts it over the top! To enter this giveaway, please visit Dawning Dreams, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner this weekend :)
I love the Bamboo in Vine Ripened the colors are fantastic http://www.etsy.com/listing/95375483/bamboorayon-roving-in-vine-ripened
ReplyDeleteThe Superwash Merino Wool Roving in Fall Into The Deep is absolutely gorgeous. I-I don't think I can handle how gorgeous it is!
ReplyDeleteThe Green With Envy batt! I've been trying to convince myself that I can't afford it right now (and I'm sure someone will snap it up now), but it's so appealing. It reminds me of rainy days and wearing rainboots and nice grays and greens. Sigh. Pinned and tweeted too.
ReplyDeleteLove the subtle colors of the merino wool batt in Golden!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the gemstone drop spindles. There is a red/yellow one that I am coveting! I also love the superwash batts.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites from the store are her Batts of fibre. I love the one that is mad-green-and-blue-behemoth-batt. that is the coolest!
ReplyDeleteI love the Lace Drop Spindle in Gearhead. And I LOVE that the spindles are made from bamboo.

ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, I am in love with this superwash merino batt in vibrant orange/yellow/blue/purple/gray. I love it! It's almost like a rainbow in a stormy sky. Love it! http://www.etsy.com/listing/80615492/superwash-wool-batt-755-ounces21403-g-16
ReplyDeleteEverything is so lovely... but I stumbled onto her hats and I couldn't stop looking. I adore the As I Ventured Into The Woods hat. I keep coming back to it. She's got amazing talent!
ReplyDeleteI like the fingering yarn in the african violet colorway.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things. If I had to choose I really love the Ultra Lavande Batt.
ReplyDeletePerfect for the beautiful weather we are having, and to compliment this fine spindle -- Dip Your Toes -- Mad Green and Blue Behemoth Batt. Sweeet!
ReplyDeleteThe merino roving 'Fallen for you' is gorgeous and I'd pick the blue gemstone spindle to spin it on.

ReplyDeleteChocolate Bunny Fiber! I want some!
ReplyDeleteI don't want the chocolate bunny fiber... I want the chocolate bunny!
ReplyDeleteSo many pretties...but, with St. Patrick's day just past, how can we say no to the Emerald Forest fiber?
ReplyDeleteSo much lovely...
ReplyDeleteI really like the Superwash Wool Spinning Batt, 3 oz in "Sing Sweet" the most, I think. But it's a tough call, since they're all so nice, and those spindles... wow.
Love that spindle...also love her Spotted Gear Spindle
ReplyDeleteThe rich blue of the Mulberry Silk Sliver in Driink of Me, OOAK, 3.4 oz / 97 g makes my heart sing. It makes me sing, too. My heart sings better than I do.
ReplyDeleteI love the brown and blue color of her "Down by the Pond" batt.
ReplyDeleteCan't stop looking at all of the gear shaped drop spindles, they are all lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the bamboo/rayon roving in Vine Ripened Transitional
ReplyDeleteI love the drop spindles, the "Fall Into The Deep" colored roving, and the "Emerald Forest" roving.

ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who had problems with the CAPTCHA? It kept telling me that I had typed it in wrong, and that's why I accidentally posted more than once. Sorry!

ReplyDeleteI love me some angora!!
ReplyDeleteI love her spindles!! I really love the Top Drop Spindle, 1.2 oz /32 grams. It's got a beautiful turquoise detail on the top. So pretty!! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, what lovely things!!! Hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteI really was taken by Bamboo/Rayon Roving in Vine Ripened Transitional. But the spindles all wanted me to buy them. Then other fibers! ARRRGGGHHHH!!!! How to pick?! I wish I had the money to afford it all.
Karen aka purplepenguin
I love the cocktail hour colorway so much I would spin any fiber or combination of fiber in those colors. Sooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe spindle posted is gorgeous. I also like the Emerald Forest superwash wool spinning fiber.
ReplyDeleteThe Double Trouble gear spindle looks like the one for me, although I like all of the gear spindles that don't have stone donuts.
ReplyDeletelots of lovely goodies, i love the Woods hat, this spindle is very interesting! Would love to play with it while spinning around the camp fire on weekends!
ReplyDeleteThis spindle is the very item I've been eyeing in her shop! The only reason I haven't already snapped one up is because I don't know how to spin. Yet.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I seriously love all the drop spindles :P and this roving in particularly: http://www.etsy.com/listing/90042588/bamboorayon-roving-squash-4-oz
ReplyDeleteSo much to choose from!

And I really love Tangled! Great colours.
I love the pastel-coloured superwash roving and the wooden gear spindles... beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love Merino Wool Roving, Tall Drink of Water and like Dark Wood Top Drop Spindle (oh the other ones are so much prettier, but I learned on one like that)
ReplyDeleteIf I had to chose one drop spindle I think I'd pick "double trouble", but the gemstone weights are pretty spectacular too! An ounce of the English Angora fiber would be excellent (but I'd want a picture of the bunny to go with it).
ReplyDeleteWow what a wanderful spindle! Love her sens of colors. Maybe Tall drink of water
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Magenta and Peaches Behemoth Batt, 6 ounces/170.097 g (9) is lovely, reminds me of summer <3

"Fall into the deep"-colourway is just so magnetic. Wow! My eyes were immediatly drawn to it.
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely stuff in the shop - the gear spindles are up there on my wish list, all are nice, but I really love the 1.8 oz with the blue gemstone. Steampunk inspired art is always fun, and for me these spindles are a great design for use too - I have a lot of trouble with perfectly smooth whorls. Just ordered a few dozen different key and faux watch cases to make ornaments for next Christmas...which will include charms I purchased at Dawning Dreams last year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn how to spin! Especially when there are lovely colors like Bamboo Rayon Roving Top, Mulberry Wine to spin!
