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!

The colors of the "Coal Fire" handspun yarn are so amazing!
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.
Love her birds collection samplers, so pretty.
Hand Dyed Camel- Wool Free Blended Tops, Camel, Seacell, Faux Cashmere, Red, Orange, Yellow, 100g, 1859. I love the colors, and the texture must be a cloud!
So many i like, but i love Osprey, Swan and Ann of Cleves, and they are lovely to spin...
I enjoyed browsing! I like the gradient rovings - Roving, Shetland,Merino, Sea Cell - Bleak Midwinter, 100g looks wonderful!
I love the Birds Collection!
I like the pinks and purples in the "Pink Batts" of Merino, Shetland, Bamboo, Firestar, and Angelina 1841.
The hand-dyed llama in maroon and khaki looks so luxurious and richly colored.
I like the trilobal blue and purple colorways.

I love the Birds and Queens Collections both as well as the Black Silk Wool Roving, and the Jacob looks interesting too.
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.
Pinned! http://www.pinterest.com/owldaughter/spinning-fibre/

I JUST got a package from Hilltop Cloud today, all full of wonderful natural wool! That doesn't mean I don't also covet the Gradient Roving, Merino Silk Shetland in Sapphire, BECAUSE I DO!!!

I like "Blue Spinning Fiber- Merino, Shetland, Milk Protein, Firestar, Jane Seymour, 100g, Queens Collection"
The Black, Red and Orange Corespun Art Yarn called Coal Fire really does look just like a coal fire! I can think of so many projects that yarn would be perfect for!
Already a fan! Would love to play with the Blue, Green Spinning Fiber- Merino, BFL, Alpaca, Mallard, 100g Birds Collection - it's lovely!
Color Grid Colour Wheel pinned to my Wish List on Pinterest, because I can use all the color help I can get! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/1407443607476725/
Love the Llama/Faux Cashmere top in Maroon & Khaki!
I love the drop spindles and cases.
So many lovely braids! The Anne Boleyn is particularly pretty!
I'm torn between Katherine of Aragon and Ann Cleves, but all are beautiful. If making something for myself I think Katherine of Aragon just wins- hopefully it blends with both blondish hair and the grey when my hairdressing appointment is overdue!
I forgot to say- I have just shared your page on my facebook profile

By the way, I think your fibres are so lovely they would even make my mediocre sinning look good!
The Ann of Cleve's spinning fibre is just perfect.

I think her Blue Spinning Fiber- Merino, Shetland, Milk Protein, Firestar, Jane Seymour, 100g, Queens Collection would spin into some wonderful yarn for a shawl.
