I had the pleasure of spending a day earlier this week with the lovely Dawn of
Dawning Dreams! She and her beautiful kids came over, we spun yarn, ate pizza, spun some more and had just a lovely time!
Dawn is an amazing fiber artist, master spinner, enthusiastic weaver, and all around excellent with doing anything with her hands. I feel so fortunate to be able to call her my friend!
We're giving away this beautiful hand made gear spindle today! Please visit
Dawning Dreams, find something you love (the batts are carded to perfection. I'm not just saying that because I love Dawn!) and write about it in the comments section below. We'll count those social networking pings as extra entries!

Love the superwash merino 'Regency Romance' colourway - very subtle pretty colours.
"Mermaid Treasure" is such a lovely cool colorway. We need that this week!
Holy moly, dark portal just seriously shouts at me to spin it!
The spindles are LOVELY. And the Baby Fever colorway caught my eye. Rav amchart
I LOVE the gear spindles. So Steampunk!
Love the twist on the spindle designs! :) Loads of gorgeous colorways too - Catwoman is amazing, and Cinder Love would be a fantastic accent on a "manlier" project!
..oh, and re-tweeting!
Oh my goodness, the fall frenzy colourway us gorgeous, especially on that superwash Merino. Totally edible! It makes me think of pumpkin pie & the Cape Breton Highlands in September!
Dawn, I would love to have Mina the bunny come live here on my farm, I know she would love it. Your steampunk spindles are fantastic love the turquoise one.
Superwash Wool Roving, Orange Burst is gorgeous!
The Dark Portal roving and tiger stripe batt are stunning!
The spindles are just scrummy, but the thing that grabs me the hardest is the roving in Cinder Love :)
those spindles are amazing!!!
I love the blue in Gotham City. It's perfect!
I like Dawn's spindles with the turquoise colored stones!
I really like the colors in the 'Stormy Morning' Silk Noil fiber. I don't think I'm a good enough spinner to use it, but the colors are gorgeous. Not to mention ALL of her spindles (I hope I win, I hope I win). Love them all!
The lace drop spindle in flowers in the sun is adorable! Also love the superwash roving in Dark Portal!
Not usually a yellow person, but Mulberry Silk Sliver in Peel Away The Layers is very nice
Love the Superwash Wool Roving, Mermaid Treasure, 4 oz - the graduating in the color is really pretty.
I love the wool scrap Behemoth Bats with so many colors and textures!
I didn't even make it past the first page before I found something I liked. The Mermaid Treasure and Bird Song roving both had me drooling.
I like the color combination in "Catwoman".
Loving all the beautiful spindles, and the batt of super wash in "Gotham City"!
I love the Copper Coggler spindle.
Great fibers all, but especially the Cat Woman batt.
Lace Drop Spindle in Copper Coggler - I've been looking for a lace weight spindle, and this one is gorgeous!
Love the top drop spindle with blue and white gemstones
I would love to have the top drop spindle with the red and yellow man made stone.

You know... it isn't easy to choose a favorite colorway as there are so many rich, vibrant coloways to choose from. Add the unique 'gear' spindles on top of that and I spend a long time drooling in Dawn's shop :) However I think my ultimate favorite would be 'Down by the Pond.' The colors are beautiful together and I'm betting that it would be a wonderful spin!
Tweeted the Down by the Pond batt...
i love the "snaily" batt photos! all the spindles are lovely (: the colorway that caught my eye & made my favorites list is spring meadow daydreaming (:
'Liked' the Down by the Pond batt on FB...
I totally fell into love with the Superwash Wool and Bamboo Batt in "Neptune's Baby", the colours are just glowing
I adore the Top Drop Spindle with Turqouise Colored Stone, but all the fiber is gorgeous too!
I really love her spindles, and as a beginner, it is nice that she lists what yarn weights each spindle is good for.

The idea of spinner's salve sounds wonderful as well as her georgous bamboo and rayon braids. I really like "Silver Linning"

The Bamboo Rayon Roving, Sing Me A Sea Shanty 4 oz is gorgeous.
I love Dawn's Drop spindles. They are perfect for everyone, especially beginners because of the notches. I already bought four of them since January of this year! The one I now have my eye on is her Lace Drop Spindle in Flowers in the Sun. I haven't purchased one like it, yet! I recommend her shop and all her products to everyone. You won't be disappointed. :)
I'm a sucker for bunnies so its no surprise that I love the English Angora Fiber in Chocolate Tort, 1 oz :)
Oh My! So many lovely rovings, but Dark Portal...mmm...enough said!
Honestly, I love all the drop spindles. But if I had to choose I'd go with Lace Drop Spindle in Onyx
I'm kind of having a hard time picking a favourite :) I think I like the turquoise spindle and Tiger Stripes batt the best.
The Dark Portal is just gorgeous.
