Have you ever discovered a fiber shop online and get so excited you start clicking madly, and be fore you know it, have a shopping cart full of goodies? This is going to be your first and final warning: Funhouse Fibers is addictive. Seriously. Miki should put labels on her stuff- "colors may cause temporary lack of rational judgement".
I hope you'll treat yourself this Friday, and visit Funhouse Fibers to see what's going on over there. I think you'll agree with me, it's like therapy for the fiber artist soul :) I'm so excited we're giving away this heathery gradient BFL in "Life's a Boat" and the gorgeous milk fiber in "Lavender Fields" colorway!
To enter this giveaway, please visit Funhouse Fibers today, find something that you'd like to talk about, and write about it in the comments area below. When we draw for a winner, we'll count those facebook, pinterest, plurk, twitter updates as extra entries!

Pewter aran weight for me! What a gorgeous silvery sheen on that yarn....
Oh, I already know what I love in her shop! There a braid called Colorplay that I have been trying to resist for a while.
Mmm it's all lovely... I especially like the gradient colourways on Shetland fibre - that Moroccan Sunset is amazing.
The Blue Lagoon Bamboo is lovely. So shiny!
Good Earth, English toffee (on lovely shiny bamboo, no less, so it really looks like toffe!), and Freshly-Mown Grass -- lovely!

Tough choice here! I really like Stonybrooke, and need some more neutrals in my stash. But then I see Good Earth and want it NOW! LOL

I love the Damson Plum - slither silk yarn.
Pinned and tweeted too.
The pop art giggles miniskeins look really fun!
The Morocco mawata is amazing!
Guilty pleasure looks amazing, I love all the different colors!
I love the good earth merino-silk. And the indian corn and.. and.. and.. My poor credit card.
I love that heathery base. I think their Blue Lagoon Bamboo top is amazing looking, and the sheen of the bamboo adds tot he impression of being in a lagoon, but I've never worked with straight bamboo before. Would that be more difficult since I'm so used to wool and the crimp and elasticity?
Rainbow Brite - English Shetland is my fav! Thanks!
I think Funhouse Fibers has to be one of my new favorite shops! Amazing colors! I love both the braids in the giveaway and the "Ombre green alpaca merino silk." I especially love them because green is a little out of my comfort zone, but their greens are so lovely that I know I wouldn't have any trouble making them into something lovely. I think the ombre green would make a truly stunning lace shawl!
Love the rainbow brite roving
I tweeted! (User: mamahobbit)
And I pinned to Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/pin/259519997248259684/
I like the "Autumn Harvest" colorway in the alpaca/merino/silk roving. Milk fiber is so soft.
The colorplay merino silk is so very lovely, what gorgeious colors!
Slither Silk is awesome! Slither Silk in 'Dapple' is awesomest! Love Miki's stuff!
<3 the Colorplay in Merino/Silk. I am a huge fan of long colour gradients.
I like Rainbow Bright - so cheerful.

Ohhh, pretty! I love all the gradients but I think my favorite is the mawata silk hankies in Renaissance.
Love the English toffee bamboo.
Wow - they have a lot of great stuff. I esp love the Dappled - slither silk yarn
oooh, I love the Freshly Mown Grass on Polwarth-silk.
Neptune is super pretty. I've never spun bamboo, but I would be willing to give it a go with this fiber!
Sigh, I love Miki's shop. I actually just ordered some things from her. I really wanted to add Bilbo Baggins and English Toffee to my order, but I had to control myself somewhat!
I totally agree with the comments about the addictiveness of Miki's fibers. If I had enough money I would buy out her shop. She is a world-class enabler. Her monster sized batts are amazing and the hand dyed rovings are glorious. Today I am in awe of the Moroccan Sunset!

I just pinned Mendocino Funbatt. The colors remind me of seawater.
The Blue Lagoon bamboo is stunning!
Miki's stuff is definitely gorgeous! Right now I love her Rembrandt colorway! :)
I am totally in love with Autumn Harvest.
I could roll around in it it's so yummy!
Pick just one thing? Impossible! The Autumn Harvest is at least in my top 3. It's been a rough week...a little fibery goodness might be just the thing!
I love Funhouse Fibers! The Moroccan Sunset shetland gradient is amazing.
I lovd the BFL called Party Girl and also a Passel of Peacocks!
I loved Party Girl so much I pinned it :)
I love Moroccan Sunset. Beautiful!
I think the rainbow brite braid is so pretty!

I love Moroccan Sunset - English Shetland. These are not my normal colors but they are so cool.
Colourplay is BEAUTIFUL. I would spin a super long gradient yarn with that...and I just noticed Key West, too. A tie, then.
Indian Corn gets me in the mood for FALL!

The Damson Plum - slither silk yarn is absolutely gorgeous. The colour is really pretty.
I like the Autumn Harvest - Merino Camel Silk roving.
So many pretty colors! I wish I could fill my fiber closet with princess party and nemo fun batts, catalina 2 and party girl bfl spinning fiber, renaissance mawata, peony, blue lagoon and neptune bamboo, rainbow brite and twilight shetland, some silver and gold angelina and burple handspun yarn. I have a supply hoarding problem.
Not sure why it went through as anonymous, but that was me.
Love the sot coloring in the Stoneybrooke - funbatt!
I like the Stoneybrooke - funbatt.
Really love the English Toffee done in bamboo fiber
I love the Autumn Harvest colorways.
I love the twilight colorway. Purple and grey are my favorite colors.
