This is our second giveaway of this round. If you haven't entered the Fiber Curio giveaway, make sure to add that to your to-do list.
We have a gorgeous extremely rare breed yarn from Queen Conch to giveaway today. I copied the following from her sale page because I love the details of this yarn:
"This gorgeous, deep rich chocolately brown woolen yarn is from the Alpine Bavarian districts of Germany. Family owned farms and co-ops committed to the salvation of this breed process and spun by hand at small production studios. Taken from the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry: Level of danger: Nearly extinct. The heritage sheep are black with faded tips producing a rich brown. This rustic yarn is ideal for fantastic warn ethnic knits and beautiful stitch definition in Scandinavian,texture, color work or cables."
Winners will be drawn for all current giveaways in this round on February 20th at 6pm.

Isle of Man: Manx Loghatan....I want to knit that yarn so very very badly! Also the Mountain Melody German Rare Breeds.....

I am interested in the Schwarzes Bergschaf Yarn. The sheep look so beautiful and I can't believe they are on the rare breed list.
My favorite is the Rare Endangered Breed Sheep Wool 100% Organic Florida Gulf Coast Sheep Yarn "Plums of Paradise". Love the color and I'll bet it's beautiful knitted up. What a hearty flock of sheep, I didn't even know they existed. Love the fact that they have been around so long.
So many interesting breeds! My favorite is the Coberger Fuchsschaf/Fox Sheep Yarn. It's gorgeous!
I'm definitely going to have to pick up some of the Black Welsh Mountain roving, it look so awesome & true inky black!

I actually would like an educational wool kit.
i think im digging "Pure California Verigated Mutant - Romledale. Rich deep black with fades to chocolate brown *Raw* Fleece" the most.. tho the jacob fleece is coming in second
This is a very interresting and educational shop. It has things I didn't know existed like juniper berry chutney and resin buttons and wool from sheep breeds I can hardly pronounce. Hard to pick one favourite but I would be very curious about the juniper berry chutney - I wonder would it go well with the Swedish elk I have in the freezer...
I like the color of the Extremely Rare Breed : Schwarzes Bergschaf Yarn. Such a warm brown and also black.
I like the The Isle of Man: Manx Loaghtan yarn because I have a Manx cat! ;p

Pure California Verigated Mutant - Romledale dark chocolate is particularly inviting☺
I would certainly buy The Lavender Fleece Natural Organic Hand milled Lavender Soap.
Extremely Rare Breed : Schwarzes Bergschaf Yarn would be not only a lovely addition to my stash but would be awesome to give to an instructor I know who collects rare breed fibers for education purposes.

I just like the name Fuchsschaf (Fox Sheep) yarn. Too funny!

They have a lot of rare breed fibers and yarns. It is so cool how they have actual photos of the sheep they came from, too!
Love the Rare Endangered Breed Sheep Wool 100% Organic Florida Gulf Coast Sheep Wool (Autumn Leaves)
Since this shop offers so many breeds I've never even heard of, I love that they offer a "sample" option for minimal price. So many cute sheep!
I don't know enough about sheep breeds/types of wool to know my favorite wool (though I'd love to try them!), but I do really like Rare Endangered Breed Sheep Wool 100% Organic Florida Gulf Coast Sheep Wool in the Autumn Leaves color.
