    Ooooh, so many pretty things!!!!! I would love to win this spindle.

    As for my favorites, I love Top Drop Spindle with Metal Red detal, 1.7 oz / 47 g (it was sold, but I still love it!).

    For yarn I like Hand Painted Superwash BFL Silk Lace Yarn, 875 yards/ 100 grams in Burgundy.

    In roving, I like Merino Wool and Bamboo/Rayon Roving, 4 oz, Fountain Penny. I also like Bamboo/Rayon Roving, 4 oz Venetian Nights.

    I prefer roving, but in the batts, I really like the blue and purple Merino Wool Batt, 3 oz.

    See what I mean? Too many pretty things!!!! LOL

    I didn't know about this shop. Love everything -- especially the batts -- so many pretty color combinations.

    I LOVE the drop spindle called Snowflakes! It reminds me of my favorite time of year -- Winter -- not this dreaded humid and muggy summer. Blegh!

    This is the first I have seen these spindles, I love them, when I come off of my spindle diet, one is going to have to come live with me, I really liked the one with the pink accents on the whorl.

    I love the spindles in the Etsy shop with the enamel dots on the outer rim! Such a clever design and must look amazing while it's spinning!

    I also wonder if the dots are heavy enough to provide some weight and balance to the spindle? It seems a clever design that way also!

    I don't think there's one thing they have that I don't love, but if I had to choose it'd be the drop spindle with grey enamel dots. It reminds me of outer space for some reason.

    The ones with the space age enamel dots look like they'd be gorgeous spinning! Really though, the steampunk-y drop spindle with dark pink stone is my favorite. :)

  24. Kate EssexJuly 8, 2013 at 8:08 PM

    How gorgeous! I only have one drop spindle that works well for me--the second one I own is too lightweight for my current skill level--and I should expand my collection.

    I can't pick just one thing to love in their Etsy shop! The colors are amazing, the drop spindles are truly works of art, and the yarn just looks incredible. I'm running out of positive adjectives and I don't want to get repetitive, but if I can't get my hands on some of their roving soon, I'll have to take up lace knitting and buy their yarns!

    In Batts I love the Superwash Wool and Bamboo Neptune's Baby.
    In yarn, I would adore Hand Painted Superwash BFL Silk Lace Yarn.
