Inglenook Fibers Tyrian Purple Batt Giveaway!






Whatever words I come up with to describe this Inglenook Fibers batt, are going to be inadequate. It's beautiful. It makes me think of a painting, the colors just work so well together! If this was mine, I think it would be one of those batts I would "save" for a while and savor every minute spinning it!

Upon visiting the Inglenook Fiber Shop, I am literally salivating over the gorgeously dyed silk available! So may colors, so little time!!

To enter to win this giveaway, I'm going to ask you to choose one item from the Inglenook Fibers Etsy shop, and mention it below. I was going to say "choose your favorite" but, that might be too difficult (it is for me this Monday!). We'll give you extra entries if you share on your favorite social platform!

    Oh wow, what a beautiful shop! I love all the rich color combinations - any one of them would be a delight to spin. The silk hankies look very fun - I especially like the sunset colors of listing number 152155349. Although, every time I tried to pick a favorite, I started to change my mind in favor of another gorgeous colorway.

    I would really like one of her batts, but unsurprisingly, there are none in the shop right now! The blue & green silk/linen blend is really intriguing. I've never spun linen, and this roving looks like a great place to start.

    This is a really tough one for me. Not because I can't find something lovely...but because I just got a GIANT package in the mail from my last Inglenook order, LOL. The Tyrian Purple is a permanent favorite of mine, and I've pinned it for my enduring love.


    Also I love the Topaz Silk/Linen blend. It's such a unique base and once you get the hang of linen, it's so rewarding to spin something new! I pinned that one, too!
