Silver Sun Alpacas Drop Spindle Kit Giveaway!

Whew! We drove most of the day to get away from the blizzard that is sweeping across country! I think we may be in safe territory now- or at least perhaps we won't get sacked as hard as other places! Times like these make me really glad I know how to spin, because it comes in handy for entertainment (and warmth) purposes when the power is out.

Ricky from Silver Sun Alpacas has sent in a gorgeous spindle kit giveaway! It's slightly different than the one pictured, but you will get a spindle, instructions, gorgeous alpaca fiber all in an organza bag. Perfect for beginners and experienced spindlers alike!

I adore Silver Sun Alpacas- especially Ricky's batts! For some reason, she's always got just the perfect amount of sparkle and softness!

What do you like in Silver Sun Alpacas shop? Let us know in the comments section, and you'll be entered to win this beautiful spindle kit! Make sure you let your friends on Facebook and twitter know about this! You'll get extra entries for social networking.

Hippie Penguin Fiber Giveaway!

I think I'm a Hippie Penguin. If you'll remember in January's video, Marcus said you have to be a Hippie to appreciate Hilary's work. If that's the case, then I must be a Hippie! And... with the weather like it is here, I feel like a penguin too lol!

I want to let everyone know that Hilary has switched her shop over to artfire and is loving it! Check out all her luscious yarns! I swear, I don't know what gets my little fibery heart a flutterin more - beautiful batts like the Chinese New Year batts she has, or the gorgeous sock yarns!

We're also giving away this superwash merino! Just visit Hippie Penguin today, find something you love, and come back and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week, please make sure you FB and twitter!

North Star Alpacas Swirl Roving giveaway!

We've been talking alot about new spinners in our group- there are many beginning spinners there. I want to encourage a "newbies" to give spinning alpaca a try, especially if you want to your yarn to be thinner than you are currently spinning.

I especially love the way Maple of North Star Alpacas has her fiber processed into roving. It's really easy to split and draft from! We're giving away this beautiful 3 way swirl of burnt orange, sage and fire red. It should make for some gorgeous spinning!

Please visit NorthStarAlpacas today, find something you love, and come back here and write about it. We will give extra entries to those of you who use facebook/twitter to let everyone know about NorthStarAlpacas. We thank Maple for her generosity!
