The purple multicoloured Polwarth is yummy and I have to say I love how some of the combed tops are presented all bundled up with a ribbon. The chianti in BFL/silk just drew my attention immediately.

hoo boy, i can't pick just one, FIF is one of my most very favorite shops! I love the chianti, those were the days, all their wonderful colors of firestar -- it's a shame I don't have more fiber money to buy more at this wonderful store! =)

SilverRayven said...

Love love love the Alpaca, silk, merino, camel batt.

love2crochet4fun on Ravelry said...

Very tempted on the New Hampshire Grown Roving Sampler Pack.

Love the BFL/Silk Combed Top "Blue Moon Gradient"

I like the Charcoal Cherries Gradient, but if it were in BFL I would like it a lot better because I would want to make my little girl something out of these colors, and I like the feel of BFL better for childen's items. If I liked it for me I wouldn't care because Polwarth is a very relaxing spin.

I like that you have angora fiber (it's on my wish to spin list), and the felting needles (I want to needle felt... someday), but those two things arn't something I would buy in the near future... but maybe somewhere down the road when I have more free time.

Josiah said...

This sampler looks so fun! I really want to try the suri alpaca/camel/merino/silk batt.

Kristina said...

The "Those were the Days" BFL/silk gradient are all my favorite colors! And I love that it was dyed using the fibonacci sequence.

Carlin said...

I love everything they have. But my favorite has to be Bollywood Goes Fibonacci.

Heather J said...

Belladune said...

I want the llama, and the bunnies... Oh wait, those listings are only for their fibre.... Well, I guess I'd settle for some of thier fiber.... HAHA!

Donna said...

I went, I saw, I drooled a bit and smiled at all the things I already had from this shop. One I do not have and might just have to get if I do well with spinning silk this weekend is the hand dyed cultivated silk sliver in "Fever". Love that color!

Melrose said...

Love the Mauve Boudoir gradient! I just wish they did it in 6oz braids!

Mikiejr said...
