Silver Sun Alpacas Strawberry Chocolate Cupcake Fiber Giveaway!


::groan::

Have I got a delicious giveaway for you! This amazing "Strawberry Chocolate Cupcake" fiber from Silver Sun Alpacas is absolutely delicious. So soft. So, So, So incredibly soft. And the pink and the brown together? Mouth watering!

I think if this fiber was food, I would eat it. Actually, I'm having a hard time NOT eating it now.
It's just like everything else in Ricky's shop- amazingly beautiful and almost edible.

We're giving away this amazing fiber today, and this is the last day of our Bonanza! Visit Silver Sun Alpacas today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for winners of all the lovely giveaways very soon, so please take a moment to twitter, facebook etc about them.

NorthStar Alpacas Rose Gray Alpaca giveaway!


I love bright colors, bold colors, sparklies and shine as much as the next fiber artist... but I also really love natural fibers. Fibers in the Buff so to speak. Northstar Alpacas has a shop chock full of au naturale alpaca!

There really is something about creating projects from undyed fibers straight from the farm. When combined in larger projects, they can be stunning, but even with small ones, there is an element of connectedness one feels with the animal that grew the fiber. Maple from Northstar Alpacas is careful to include which animal the fiber comes from with every purchase, so you will feel that connection when your fiber arrives.

Today we're giving away a stunning 4 oz of Rose Gray alpaca from "Rhodey" a blue ribbon champ! Please visit NorthStarAlpacas today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Check back for more giveaways this week!

Pickin and Spinning Laceweight Yarn Giveaway!


How about some laceweight yarn on your lovely morning? Pickin and Spinnin dyed up some gorgeous "silver springs" laceweight (and fiber!) Last month. I love it.. moody and mysterious! It'd be perfect for a shawl... and we all know how much I love those!

Much of what is inside Kim's shop is Music inspired! Take a gander at those "Been through the Desert" stitch markers!

Whether it be wrist distaff's or lace yarn, Pickin and Spinnin has a lovely variety to choose from. To enter this laceweight giveaway, please visit the shop, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Check back for more giveaways this week!

Spin Fusion Vegan Spinning Batt Giveaway!


I'm so very excited to be offering up for a giveaway, this gorgeous VEGAN spinning batt from Spin Fusion! Often it's easier to get non-animal fibers in top or braid form and it's less popular to offer them in batt form. I think because the fibers are usually quite fine and don't lend themselves to "floofing" well. Some of us (raises hand) love to spin batts and this is just a fantastic one.

Visiting Spin Fusion is like landing on some ethereal soft cloud... so much fiber and handspun... so little time!! Oh No! Look! There is a Spring Cleaning section!!!

We're giving away this gorgeous "Frosting" Batt from Spin Fusion. Just visit the shop, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We're giving away lots more awesome stuff this week! Please keep checking back!

Wild Hare Progression Dyed Fiber Giveaway!


This progression dyed fiber from Wild Hare gets me so excited! I love thinking about how these can be spun and then knit into an amazing color-shifting piece of art! The fact that the fiber base is a squooshy superwash wool top just makes it even more appealing!

This is Wild Hare's "Promise" colorway, which looks like a pale version of her "Grateful Dyed" colorway only with less blue. So yummy I could eat it!

There are just too many amazing things at Wild Hare to experience! Visit today, find something that strikes your fancy, and write about it in the comments section below. You'll be thrown in the pot to win this beautiful fiber and please check back all week for more exciting giveaways!

Funhouse Fibers Art Batt Giveaway!


This picture does NOT do this batt justice. "Sherwood Forest" from Funhouse Fibers is a highly textural blend of locks, and sparkles and woolies and it's just mouth watering- especially for a green freak like me!

This month, our fiber sleuths Shearlock the Sheep and Sonata the Alpaca have visited sunny California and are inspecting Funhouse Fibers to see exactly how much FUN Miki puts into her fibers. Inquiring minds want to know what the fun quota *really* is!

I made a couple of quick purchases before posting this giveaway- I always feel bad about doing that, but hey, I need fiber too. *wink* We're giving away this wonderful Sherwood Forest art batt today (how I wish I could keep it!). Just visit Funhouse Fibers today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We're giving away fibery stuff every day as part of our bonanza of giveaways- check back often!
