Frisian Pegasus Batt Giveaway!

This was one of the shining stars of the May box! A beautiful, shiny, sparkling batt from The Critter Ranch called "Frisian Pegasus". It contains baby alpaca, llama, tencel and firestar and is so dark, dark, and pretty :) The Critter Ranch is so full of fibery goodness, I am getting a little short of breath looking at it all! :) Lovely, lovely things to play with there! Please visit The Critter Ranch today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. When we draw for a winner, we'll count those extra social networking pings as entries- so help us spread the word!

    I *adore* the posted batt most of all - after all, I ordered more once I saw the sample in my box! Of the items currently in the shop, I like the merino/bamboo/silk fiber in the lavender/peaches colorway. Thanks for the giveaway chance!

    I am going to be a sucker here... but the Frisian Pegasus is by far my favorite. I've been petting and loving the sample I got since the day I got it... I just spun it up, and oh my goodness, the black paired with the shiny is amazing. I just wish I could have ordered some when it was up in the shop and when I had more money!
