I have a serious fiber crush on Katie's wonderful fibers. The BFL Seacell "Porpoise" looks especially lovely!
I really like the BFL Aqua Roving with Silk & Cashmere - such a pretty color.
Pinned it, too!
I've tried lots of Katie's fibres, they are all lovely. Right now I am seriously coveting the Southdown sock wool roving... especially the Stormy Night colourway.
I love spinning rainbows so it had to be
Roving, BFL, Silk Spinning Fiber - Cloudy Rainbow, 100g

Also shared on my twitter. Which I had almost forgotten I had. I really like the Cream Tea colourway!
<3 the Purple BFL Roving, Spinning Fiber- Clematis, BFL, Merino, Soyasilk
The depth of the purple grey is so wonderful.
I love all the British breeds, especially the Jacob fibers!
I have been lusting over the Green Toad merino/bfl/gotland batts since she put them up! So pretty!
I love the cornfield colorway and would love to spin it
The merino roving- mustard yellow is very pretty.
WOW! Almost too much to take in, that shop! Beaded Handspun Yarn - Nile Goddess colorway --GORGEOUS! Rav amchart
There are so many lovely fibers at Hilltop Cloud! Most I like BFL and alpaca themselves but in blends too. And I love Katies variety of undyed British wools, so many too choose from!
shetland roving purple spinning fiber has a lot of playfulness. I totally love it.
All of her fiber is beautiful, but the first thing I want to try from her is the British Breed Fiber Sampler. Love.
I like the merino fiber batt in 'Toad' colorway.
So many choices. I started to say the British Breeds sampler. But then I saw Spinning Fiber Roving - Dark Rainbow, 100g Black Welsh Mountain,Silk. What a beauty!
The bilberry pie BFL SW is very summery.
I'm in love with the gorgeous soft brown color of the BFL Alpaca Roving- British Blue Faced Leicester, Baby Alpaca, Sea Cell.
I love her pick n mix batts. I'm plying the first set I bought from her right now!
Tweeted the soft brown BFL Alpaca Roving- British Blue Faced Leicester, Baby Alpaca, Sea Cell...
Liked the soft brown BFL Alpaca Roving- British Blue Faced Leicester, Baby Alpaca, Sea Cell on FaceBook...
Love her batts - they're all very pretty. I do like the Shetland blend roving, though, "Glas" - the teal and white. And I really like the fiber in the giveaway.
I like the BFL (British Blue Faced Leicester) Silk Roving-Purple spinning fiber.
I love the British Breed Sampler. A great chance to try out all those interesting breeds.
Shetland Roving, Ombre, Shetland Merino Sea Cell - Summer Lovin 100g. It's so pretty!
I love the teal wool roving!!!
I love the British Breed Sampler! It would make a gread Sheep Heid hat.
I also added the British Breed sampler to my Pinterest board.
I like the red merino because it's a different shade of red.

I have always wanted to try her British breed fiber sampler. It just looks divine!
I'm not sure if I like the natural colors more or the dyed fibers - so I'll choose as my favorite one that has elements of both - the Blue Spinning Fiber - Wool Roving Merino, Massam, Baby Alpaca in 'Deep' colorway. Love the brilliant true blue in this especially when mixed with the grays of the fibers. Gorgeous!
Blackcurrant Velvet is beautiful.
It's really hard to pick a favorite when I would buy any of her fiber!! But I think my favorite today is the bfl/seacell blend "porpoise".
Pinned, tweeted, and plurked.
WOW. I've bought different bumps of fiber to sample different sheep, but I regret not paying attention to the other fibers available! The handspun coil yarn in Moonlight is amazing.
Love the British Breeds Sampler. Pinned on Pinterest!
Wonderful fibers but the cream tea is my favorite.
Ooooh, I love that Shetland roving purple spinning batt. That's a great colorway!
Love the Shetland Wool Roving - Teal Spinning Fibre, Glas, Merino, Shetland, Kid Mohair 100g 1027. Also like it on Facebook.
I love the Pink Merino Roving- Raspberry Ripple - Spinning Fiber- Merino, Shetland, Milk Protein 95g 1024
I loved all of the fibers in her shop...so many to choose from! I think if I had to choose something to start with, I am really big on natural fibers in their natural state, so the British Breed Spinning Fiber Sampler would be a perfect start! Love the cream tea also though!!!! yum!
I really like the BFL superwash in Distant Shores
I like the merino/silk/shetland roving in sapphire.
Raspberry Ripple just calls my name...and that Cream Tea is fabulous!
Actually, I was just eyeing the cream tea fiber - so that is my fav!
Too many things!
The Shetland Roving, Ombre, Shetland Merino Sea Cell - Summer Lovin' would be my favourite, but these other colourways are gorgeous too:
Dark Rainbow/Cloudy Rainbow
Turning Leaf
Vixen
Spring Fling
Ferrous
(And the buttons are quite neat too!)
I've always been enamored with naturally black fiber. The Black Welsh Mountain and Tussah Silk has got me drooling on my keyboard.
Love the british breed sampler - I need to try it.
I really like the purple BFL roving.
I LOVE the light brown camel roving! It's super cozy looking.
I am in love with 2 or 3 of the items there. I love that beautiful pink plastic fibre batting or roving? I don't know how to spin yet, but at the price she gives, maybe I could learn how to do it. I love that pink and the Cherry Jam superwash roving, as well.
stormy night!
The Cream Tea is actually my favorite, and since it doesn't seem to be in the store, I sure hope I win :)
This one is also really pretty: Purple Spinning Fiber Batt - Merino, Shetland - Grey Aubergine Pick n Mix Batt 35g
Hey, cool! I love that this seller features local wools! My favorite is definitely the purple shetland blend roving in Cauldron!
Oh Blue Wool Roving- Spinning Fiber- BFL Seacell Porpoise 95g my gosh, Totally love this one.
I love the Vixen colorway.
I like the Shetland Roving, Ombre, Shetland Merino Sea Cell - Summer Lovin 100g.
I love everything in Katie's shop, but I've been lusting after her Dark Rainbow for a while now...
British Breed Spinning Fiber Sampler :)
I love the BFL Seacell Pucker in Hot Pink!
Really love the merino silk Icicle blend! And the drop spindle kits!
I don't think there is much on Hilltop Cloud's site I don't love. I picked a gradient roving Amethyst, of merino, silk, and shetland as a favorite. I believe I will be ordering some of the British wools to try them out before long.
I'm passionate about teal, so Awyr immediately caught my eyes. The fiber mix is interesting too: Merino, British Masham wool, Tussah Silk and Angelina.
Also, lately I've been thinking of inviting a couple of friends over for an introduction to spindle spinning. Wouldn't it be awesome on a dark and rainy fall day, to light a fire in the fireplace and let them play with some colorful fiber? With the drop spindle kits from HilltopCloud there's no way they wouldn't enjoy it!
The handmade buttons are so adorable.
I love the color of the Raspberry Ripple--looks good enough to eat!
Ooh, This is a shop I'm already in love with. This ombre pastel roving would make lovely yarn to crochet my little girlies a hat.

I like the green hand blended roving merino/blf/wool/bamboo colorway "Mint Julep".
The mint julep batts are gorgeous!
I really love her green spinning fiber. I also have some blue that I love as well. Her fibers are wonderful.

I want to try ALL here different fibres but that one is very high on the list!
Love Benedicts, Teal- Merino, Silk, Kid Mohair fiber! Yum!
I love the British Breed Sampler. At the moment, I am all about the natural beauty and the variety so that is perfect.

I love *everything* in Katie's shop, especially the natural wood buttons, and the British breeds fibers. The "Ginger Biscuit" pulled roving is wonderful!
Beautiful! I love Mint Julep green spinning fiber.
I want to try the manx loaghton fiber.
i would like some of that herdwick to try! the camel/bfl is cool as well.
I love the luscious natural colors and British yarn samplers. I was struck by the Green Superwash Roving- Spinning Fiber- Superwash Merino Nylon- Sock Fiber Gooseberry Crumble 100g 1005 - gorgeous subtle mix of colors!
Those Hippie Spinning Fiber Batts are TOO much fun!!
I love these, and this yarn here is amazing... Handspun Art Yarn Coils - Moonlight... http://www.etsy.com/listing/100963928/handspun-art-yarn-coils-moonlight-180g

There isn't a lot I DON'T like in Katie's shop. But this one stood out to me today, because it's raining here at home and this is so bright and sunny-looking!!! http://www.etsy.com/listing/93911651/roving-spinning-fibre-yellow-primrose

This is one of my favorite sellers! Each one I spin becomes my favorite. Right now I am coveting North Ronaldsay-it's lovely to spin!
I love the British Breed Spinning sampler - lots of fibers I have never tried. I also love the buttons!
I was away, so just saw these posts. Lovely blends and so hard to pick. I was drawn to BFL Roving Aqua - Luxury Spinning Fiber - BFL Cashmere Silk- Wriggle.

I love progressiondyed fibers! http://www.etsy.com/listing/100822758/shetland-roving-ombre-shetland-merino
I love the Superwash BFL roving in the Bilberry Pie colorway. Yummy.
They aren't fiber, but I love rustic wooden buttons.
There are so many awesome fibers at this shop, I really love the Shetland in the Blackcurrant Velvet colorway though, it is gorgeous. I've been wanting to try Shetland...
I love Katie's fibers but there are still a few I haven't tried. Perhaps the Cheviot, Southdown, or Dorset Horn.
Loving the purple handwoven scarf. It looks super cozy.
Looks like I found a new Etsy "fave"! I'd love to try the British Breed Spinning Fiber Sampler, but I also want to try Manx Loaghtan someday so I'd like some of that, as well.
I love the merino rainforest roving. Looks amazing.
The gradient rovings (cloudy rainbow!) and ALL of the batts look absolutely delicious!
I like the white Jacob roving.
I love the bfl/seacell base she uses, it gives the colorways an extra something special
BFL "seaside cottage"- wish I was there right now, we're experiencing a heatwave this week.
