I love the fiber sample package and pretty much anything in the alpaca folder. But I was very drawn to this one (http://www.etsy.com/listing/97905733/fine-alpaca-roving-handpainted-fiber-for) since it is so radiant and reflects my wedding colours so closely...just makes me smile :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fiber sampler packages - the 24 breeds in one package is incredible! :)
ReplyDeleteAll the colours are amazing! I especially like the Polwarth/Silk fibre in the red/orange/violet/yellow colourway - so bright and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Australian merino wool roving (15.5 micron) the colors are so yummy~

Woolgatherings is one of my favorite vendors. I have been eyeing the merino sparkle and would be thrilled to get my hands on some. In the shop today, I am really drawn to the 24 Breed Fiber Sampler. What a treasure that would be!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this shop!
ReplyDeleteThe 24 Breed Sampler is a great package! The gradient dyed rovings are beautiful too.
I love her colorways! This one struck my fancy today: http://www.etsy.com/listing/101294563/sparkle-merino-roving-handpainted-roving.

I love the 24 breed sample. I was telling my mom about it the other day.
ReplyDeleteKate is a dyeing genious! All her colours are awesome, but one of the things I love is that she always have some new and interesting fiber that I haven't tried before. Masham, Welsh, Cormo.. I'll have 'em all -. cause all the colours are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI love this shop. I'd have to put down the Alpaca/ Silk Roving in shades of blue as my latest favorite.
ReplyDelete24 Breed Fiber Sampler !!!
ReplyDeletedrool. Unfortunately I used up my wool budget for the year. /cry
LOVE the black alpaca/silk roving! But I would happily take a whole ton of those colorways home if I had the funds, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of stuff favorited from her store! The BFL in shades of blue is lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! I really like the alpaca/silk in the blues and the BFL in the orange/pink combo.
ReplyDeleteIt's ALL **GORGEOUS**! Most tempting is the BFL Wool Roving - Hand Painted in shades of blue. Rav amchart
ReplyDeleteI'm such a Woolgatherings junkie! I'm lucky that my semi-local LYS (well, when I'm visiting my parents 5 hours away!) carries her stuff so I get to grope it all in person! Anyway, I'm LOVING this BFL/Silk! http://www.etsy.com/listing/100839754/bfl-wool-silk-roving-7525-handpainted
ReplyDeleteMerino / Silk Roving - Hand painted Spinning Fiber - 4 oz.

Love woolgatherings! Love the sparkle merino fiber, got some in the may box and it is already spun up! I am currently spinning the May playing favorites club selection also. My favorite is the polwarth silk blend.
ReplyDeleteI love almost any fiber. Really like the silk blends.
ReplyDeleteI love her choice of color combinations. The yarn itself looks gorgeous, but the hand dying makes it that much better. My favorite is the mix of salmon pink, red, raspberry, plum, and gray. Her shop is actually very close to my home so I can't wait to stop in and see everything she has!
ReplyDeleteI most like the color of this one:

ReplyDeleteWow, I think this is one of my new top favorite shops! The colors are gorgeous, and I love how the tops are photographed in many ways so you get an accurate idea of what the colors look like. I would have fun spinning so many of these, but I'll pick the "Fine Alpaca Roving" in Dye Lot: #ALT04181204 as my favorite... for now.

Pick one thing? Only one thing? That's going to be hard, I love so much from Woolgatherings. I've had the luxury of trying out a few things and I must say I love the alpaca braids.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Camel/ Merino Wool/ Cultivated Silk Roving (40/40/20) in all those lovely reddish shades.
ReplyDeleteDo I have to pick just one?? I have dozens of Woolgatherings rovings on my Etsy wish list, she's one of my favourite dyers. One of my latest favourites is the mixed BFL in teal, purple and cranberry that was added to the shop yesterday. But the sparkle Merino in orange, pink, purple and blue looks just so yummy too.

So hard to choose just one thing, with so many lovelies. All of the hand painted fibers are gorgeous, but I really love the silver alpaca/tussah silk roving. It reminds me of moonlight, or quicksilver. Very magical.
ReplyDeleteLove the shetland humbug! And I'm also partial to the silver alpaca/tussah silk roving. I'd love to spin that on my drop spindle - very soothing!

ReplyDeleteI like the luxury fiber sampler - always wanted to try yak!
ReplyDeleteThe grey 8 oz fiber of gotland wool is delish!!

ReplyDeletewow. i loved so many things in this shop. i have made it a favorite on etsy and will be buying some just as soon as i save up some more moolah! i get rather bored of spinning sometimes on my spindle so i tend to gravitate towards neat and chaotic colorways. plenty in this shop! here's one i particularly loved: http://www.etsy.com/listing/98655362/superfine-merino-wool-tussah-silk-roving
ReplyDeleteI love all the colors, but the luxury fibers sampler pack makes me want to imitate my cat and smush my face against all the soft smooshiness.
ReplyDeleteThe sampler package is decadent!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on the merino roving. It's so gorgeous.
