Hilltop Cloud Wives of Henry VIII fiber giveaway!

In November, we had a truly beautiful "Renaissance" inspired box and Katie of Hilltop Cloud sent in these beautiful samples based on the wives of Henry the VIII ! I thought this was a brilliant idea, and I'm so excited to be giving away the set of them here!

Please take some time to explore the Hilltop Cloud website today! We are expecting to see great things coming from Katie in the next few months. She is taking a hiatus from her participation in Phat Fiber to work on other exciting yarn and fibery things :) :)

To enter to win, please select a Hilltop Cloud offering you love and comment about it here on this post. For extra entries, please share in your favorite social network and let us know where  you did!

    I like that she has a Wool Free section. While I do love wool, I am starting to experiment with fibers other than Sheep and appreciate the emphasis on Cashmere and other fibers that she has set up.

    I love the Henry VIII wives collection, but I've been drawn to the birds collection, too. I've pinned some in the past, but today I particularly fancy Jane Seymour and the nameless blue batt. The Chinese brocade spindle case is absolutely lovely, too.
