These were one of my favorite groups of samples for the April box. They are Happies from Willow Fairy Wool. I love the beautiful color combinations she uses. She also always has very smooth and lovely rolag structure. They are more beautiful in person than you see in the pictures.



This giveaway is for a batch of 4 rolags. They vary in color, but they are sure to make you happy too.

The Hippie Homemaker Giveaway

Did you enter our first giveaway of this round?  It's from Plum Crazy Fiber Art (an angora cloud!) How about the second giveaway from Bristle Ridge Alpacas? Our third giveaway is a Mama Jude Felted Ball Kit! The fourth giveaway is a combed top from Handmade Hollows that she calls Rarity.




This giveaway puts us half way through our April contributor giveaways. With this one, we're giving away a beautiful luxury sock blend fiber called Grape Slushie with a wooden spindle from The Hippie Homemaker.


This would be a great way to learn a new craft. If you already spin, then perhaps you needed a new travel spindle. Such a soft and fun fiber to spin.

The first, and only mandatory entry, is that you will go to The Hippie Homemaker find something you love then come back here and comment about it.

Handmade Hollows Giveaway

Did you enter our first giveaway of this round?  It's from Plum Crazy Fiber Art (an angora cloud!) How about the second giveaway from Bristle Ridge Alpacas? Our third giveaway is a Mama Jude Felted Ball Kit!


For this giveaway, we have a combed top from Handmade Hollows that she calls Rarity. This one is on Merino, but in her shop, you can choose Merino, Polworth, or SW Merino. This super soft blend will spin up beautifully. I think it would be fun to ply it back on itself and let it barber pole. I know most people don't like that look, but I think it's fun especially with a limited palate like this one.


If you want to win this beauty, just follow the instructions below. Did you know, I pay for shipping for the giveaways? You really just win the roving, and it arrives in your mailbox. 


I always encourage winners to continue supporting our independent artists. Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to enter all of our giveaways each month.

Mama Jude's Plant Dyed Giveaway

Did you enter our first giveaway of this round?  It's from Plum Crazy Fiber Art (an angora cloud!) How about the second giveaway from Bristle Ridge Alpacas?


This is the third giveaway of this round. We're giving away a large Mama Jude's Plant Dyed Stuff Felted Ball Kit! It's gorgeous and fun. It comes with a little silk and all the wool you need to create two felted Earth balls.


Some of these fun little kits were in our Rainy Greys box from last month. That means we have footage of Denny reading the instructions. He runs his part of the video any way he likes, and then I get to use and share portions of it as I see fit! So, I decided to save this snippet just for Mama Jude!


So, if you have made felted balls before, or not, you'll have your instructions and everything you need to make up a couple of felted Earth balls. You don't even have to wait to see if you've won! You can buy one in her shop today.

Plum Crazy Fiber Art Giveaway

We're starting our giveaways a little later this month. We will have 9 giveaways this month. We don't have any yarn this month, but there is a little spinning kit (you know you want to learn to spin!) and a felted ball kit. Our contributors send us these lovely giveaway items for me to share with you.


This first giveaway is for 10 grams of dyed angora fiber from Plum Crazy Fiber Art. This beautiful fluff would be fun blended into a batt or rolag. Angora fiber gives a beautiful halo to your hand-spun yarn and it's SUPER warm.


This batch of fluff is 10 grams, and it will go a long way when blended or you can spin it up right from it's cloud form.
