Inspiration Fibers Texas Batt Giveaway!


I was very happy to see everyone excited about these Inspiration Fibers batts! I thought they were quite ingenious and beautiful. You can try your hand at spinning Texas cotton as an add-in rather than straight up. I really can't wait to see some of your resulting yarn from these batts as I think they would look so rustic and gorgeous.

Inspiration Fibers is full of yarn and fibery goodness- and she even has her samples for sale! Last month was the beautiful tea-light batts that were also very popular. You can get one to set out on your table for a romantic cabin feel.

We're giving away this gorgeous textural batt today! In fact, it's our last giveaway of the year!! Just visit Inspiration Fibers, find something you love, and come back and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a winner soon, so don't dilly. Make sure and use Facebook and Twitter to gain extra entries!

WC Mercantile Lovett Fiber Giveaway!





Some of you may know already, but I thought it worth mentioning here, that Stephanie of WCMercantile is having a very nice end-of-year sale with 10% off everything in her shop using code: ByeBye2010 . I've already taken advantage of it- it's so nice, not to pay shipping on top of everything too!

For the Music Box, WCMercantile sent in lovely, soft, earthy Lovett batts! These could serenade me any day of the week- so soft and artistic :) WCMercantile batts are incredibly smooth and perfect- this one is made with merino, silk, and just a tiny hint of sparkle.

If you've seen the Phat Fiber videos, you'll know that Marcus really enjoys Rebel Yarn's contribution- but more for the musical aspects than anything else lol!

I really love this lace base!! It's a beautiful silk and merino blend that is very drapey, yet substantial! Melanie of Rebel Yarn has stocked several in her shop- so if you're looking for a good first project in the new year, order some for yourself this weekend!

Counting Sheep Farm Sock Giveaway!


Another small farm, I feel good about spending my money on!! Counting Sheep farm is run by Rachel of My8kidsmom fame. She dyes all the gorgeous yarns and fibers in the shop, as well as takes care of the farm animals, all when she isn't taking care of all of her children!!
I've said it before, she's a superwoman!

We're giving away this sock set today! I really like getting two smaller skeins if I'm going to do socks- it's easier to wind them for two at a time knitting!!

Anywho, please visit Counting Sheep Farm today, find something you love, and come back over here and let us know about it! We love to know what you think! Please remember to post on Facebook, twitter or your own blog for extra entries!
