Fleecemakers Fibers Batt Giveaway!

Remember how smitten I was with this Fleecemakers Aurora Borealis batt? It's so gorgeous and sparkly!! I am a little late on posting, as I don't see any in the shop right now!

Don't you feel good about supporting small fiber farms? I know I do. I think I might have preached about buying local and indie a little too much over the weekend, my family was having a hard time listening to me! We can feel good about buying from Elizabeth and her flock- which started as one of her children's 4-H projects!

We're giving away this gorgeous batt set today! Just visit Fleecemakers, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Extra points for facebook and twitter updates about it!

WC Mercantile Bonfire at Night Fiber Giveaway!

OMG is this stuff gorgeous, or what?! Bonfire at Night is a deep Navy merino and a gorgeous, glossy bamboo in gold. I would LOVE to see this spun up- I think it would be gorgeous plied together.

If you haven't visited WCMercantile lately, be prepared to be overwhelmed- but in a very very good way. It's like a big candy shop for spinners! Marcus and I were fortunate to be able to visit over the summer and it was truly amazing!

Inspiration Fibers is just loaded with fibery goodness- you're going to want to spend some time and look at all the wheel/spindle candy she's got there!

We're giving away this beautiful Seasons of Light batt! Just visit Inspiration Fibers, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. This is part of our giveaway bonanza so keep checking back every day for more!

Booknerd Handspun Giveaway!

If you haven't visited Bookworm's Etsy shop, I think you're in for a treat! I had this whole idea planned out to tell you how cool it was that Allison is a Librarian, but then I happened to read her profile page and thought I would just share that with you. It's much better written than what I would have come up with!

Book Nerd's Handmade is the sum arts & crafts output of a professional librarian and book historian.

The shop is full of geekery, but also purpose driven: wanting to know more about the history of book production and textile design, Librarian Allison endeavors to just do it herself – and learn from experience.

Spinning yarn, making paper from rags, binding journals, printing broadsides... these activities help to inform an understanding of the challenges and techniques involved in historical methods, as well as an appreciation for the universal principles of design.

The end result is a set of finished objects and supplies created with a retrospective outlook on contemporary art.

We're giving away these TWO spindle spun skeins!! Just visit Booknerd, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Remember to retweet/facebook for extra entries!

Modern Spin Giveaway!

Modern Spin has moved over to Artfire! If you didn't get a chance to watch our November sneak peek video, we featured Magan's beautiful "By Candlelight" batts which came in a glass votive! If you head on over to her shop, she still has some for sale if you hurry.

We're giving away this gorgeous "Violetta" 80% Merino 20% Tussah silk braid in really yummy purple/pinks. Just hop on over to Modern Spin, find something you love, and write about it here in the comments section. We'll be giving things away through Thanksgiving, so keep checking back for the big winner announcement!

Namaste Fingerless Mitts Kit Giveaway from Kamasuutra !

Squee!! I'm so excited about this giveaway! I purchased a kit myself and have just started knitting it- so lovely! I think the yarn I have is even brighter and more vibrant in person if that is possible!

I have to admit, I have done hardly any colorwork at all, but this seems doable for some reason, perhaps the excitement I feel over the variegated yarn. Speaking of doable- let me tell you about KamaSuutra's newest line of self striping sock yarns- it's called Maya Magic stripe and it's amazing! If you do socks or mitts with a circumference of 55-66 stitches it stripes every 2 rows. It really is magical! I happen to really love the Evil Genius colorway... just sayin' ;) You can contact Rue and pre-order your Maya Magic yarn and be the first to get some!

We're giving away this gorgeous yarn+pattern kit! Just visit Kamasuutra fiber arts and find something that you love, write about it in the comments section below, and we'll be drawing in a couple of weeks- we're kicking of a big giveaway bash with giveaways every day!

Silja! You won the mamajudes batt!!

More awesome giveaways coming up!!

Garilynn Seraphina Kit Giveaway!

Did you get a Seraphina Neck Corset pattern in your October box? No worries if you didn't! Garilynn has plenty stocked today! What a great way to dress up a plain blouse with a little Victorian flair! I'm really liking the lace addition technique- this pattern is an easy bottom up design!

I'm actually quite excited about Garilynn's new project bags. Gari claims to have a fabric stash larger than her yarn stash- so help clear some room and organize your holiday knitting! Gari calls them "necessary bags" and I think you'll find them indispensable!

We're giving away a gorgeous Seraphina Neck Corset kit today, yarn, pattern and project bag! Please visit Gari's shop, find something you love, and come back here and post to enter! Please help us out with extra FB and twitter updates too! We'll count those as extra entries in the giveaway.

GalesArt Amethyst and Rust Giveaway!

Drooling yet? I am! Gales Art created an amazing colorway for the October box- Amethyst and Rust is just glorious! I love these colors and I can't wait to see someone spin this up. The gold playing off of the amethyst is full of win.

I am a huge fan of Gale's work- especially the BFL swirl fiber- yum!! I have yet to spin this luxurious bfl/silk combo but it looks incredibly divine!

We're giving away this 4 oz of bfl/silk in Amethyst and Rust! Just visit Galesart, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Your extra FB updates and twittering will net you additional entries!

Mama Judes Time Police Uniform Fiber Giveaway!

I thought MamaJudes's interpretation for the Steampunk box was wonderful! Her "Time police uniform" really captured the essence of army fatiques! What you don't see in the picture is the fabulous gears and baubles she has included in a little packet to add in to your spinning.

If you have ever eaten organic or locally grown fruit and compared it to conventionally grown stuff you can totally taste the difference (I can at least!). It's just like that when buying plant-dyed fiber! I love the earthy undertones and true-to-nature rainbow of colors that can be achieved with plant dyes! I love knitting with MamaJude's yarn on warm wooden bamboo needles with a warm cup of tea... ahh the simple things!!

We're giving away this luscious Merino/silk/bfl/mohair/glitz add-in batt away today! Just visit MamaJudes, find something you love, and come back and write about it in the comments section below. We'll count those extra tweets and fb updates as extra entries! Thanks for helping spread the news about this lovely shop!

Weekend Giveaway winner and a scary pic!
