Plum Crazy Fiber Art Giveaway






This gorgeousness is mink fiber from Plum Crazy Fiber Art. I did a little research to learn about how mink is collected. It's much like angora in that the fiber is combed.


This is a natural brown, soft fawn color. You won't believe how soft this fiber is. For 1/2 ounce there's quite a bit here. I think this would be best blended into a longer stapled soft wool. I think I would blend it with Cormo. Maybe a nice deep green cormo carded together with this amazing mink fiber.


I found a lighter off white color in her shop as well. I think I will need to go shopping soon...

How do I win?! FIRST sign in on the giveaway widget above. You'll be given several options to gain entries to the giveaway.

You will earn three additional entries for making a purchase in the Plum Crazy Fiber Art Etsy Store and sharing the transaction ID.

Shades of Light Yarn Giveaway






Our next giveaway is another wonderful skein of yarn. This one is from Shades of Light. This yarn is in a beautiful hand dyed skein in a colorway called Musings.


The yarn is 100 gm, 328 yds, 100% SW extrafine merino.


She recommends that you use needles size 3-4. I would love to have kept this yummy skein to knit up myself. I think it would be absolutely gorgeous as a fall cowl. Don't you agree?

Luthvarian Fiber Art Silk Sliver Giveaway


For this giveaway we have something soft, shiny, and decadent. This is a silk sliver braid from Luthvarian Fiber Arts in the colorway Peony. This is at least an ounce of yummy silk (I think it's likely 2 ounces but I've not weighed it yet).


This is a beautiful colorway of purples, blues, and a bit of peach. If you haven't spun silk, this is such a treat. The staple length is good for spinning super fine and beautiful yarn.

Full Circle Artworx Mechanica Palette Giveaway


For our second giveaway of this round, we are so excited to offer a palette from Full Circle Artworx. I love her palettes because they give you a chance to try several fibers with several different beautiful dye colors. This palette has Superfine Merino Wool w/ Merino Wool & Bronze Stellina, Carbonized Bamboo, New Zealand Corriedale, Wool Maroon Cheviot Wool, 56's Wool, and Corriedale Cross Wool.

They can be used for spinning or felting. I have a palette in my stash, but I haven't yet decided to card the fibers together or spin them separate. I believe I will end up dividing the fibers in half, blending half of them and spinning the other half straight. I'm discovering my love for woolen blended fibers.

Willow Fairy Wool Giveaway


The first giveaway of this round is from Willow Fairy Wool. She hand-dyed this luscious blend of Polwarth and silk to give us a bright and soft green and blue fiber to spin in her Sea Garden colorway.


This will spin up beautifully no matter which way you choose to draft it out.


The fiber content is so beautiful and soft. The silk gives it shine and softness as well a wonderful glow. Ulrika kettle dyed this fiber to give you lovely color transitions, and if you want more, she always has some in her shop.

Thanks all, sending love,
Crys
