For those of you who got the January Luxe Box, you might have received a bag of beautiful aqua bling! Wonderland Fiber has loads of bling in her shop! If you know me, you know how much I appreciate the occasional sparkle!  This batt bling sampler has 4 different kinds of angelina, including the enigmatic holographic angelina and even shredded money!

This fiber was featured in the December "Childhood Favorites" Phat Fiber box. I love the concept of Barbie's dream house! Bitsy did an amazing job capturing just the right pink and hints of fleshy tones on this beautiful superwash/viscose carded roving! Bitsy is one Phattie that does pink so well! I don't know how she does it, but her pinks have layers of colors/highlights that are different

Would you look at this beautiful hand dyed alpaca yarn from NorthStar Alpacas? It's got all those luxurious jewel tones and the base is an incredibly soft 70% Alpaca and 30% Merino for bounce. This is mill spun yarn from Maple's own herd of Alpacas. You won't find this luxurious base anywhere else and it's really worth the scant $22 she's charging for a skein! To enter the drawing for this

Katie from Hilltop Cloud in Wales sent in several lovely "Coedlan" patterns, complete with buttons she made herself! The Coedlan pattern is a beautiful cowl/scarf that would show of that special skein of soft handspun. Katie took the guesswork out of it all, and included several BFL/Seacell batts in this beautiful heathery lilac for this giveaway! Everything is so soothing to look at at Hilltop

"For when the baddies get really big." Liz Beck of Things Liz Makes sent in this lovely batt in December for a Giveaway! It's a Megazord batt and for those of you who are familiar with Power Rangers, this is like all the power ranger powers put together. In this case, putting all these fibers together to make this batt was a brilliant idea! I really like how the colors blend together. Things

I really, really love this color! Joelle, of Wandering Wool has some of the most amazing solid and semi-solid yarns on Etsy today! This one is called "Pirate's Cove" and it is 400 yards of superwash merino softness! It's truly bouncy and delightful! One of the super awesome things about Wandering Wool, is that Joelle often puts things on clearance to get things moving. I don't know about you,

I can't think of anything much more luxurious than angora! Fiber Fancy has sent in a gorgeous giveaway! A hand crocheted bag, with both a bright white English Angora and a natural silver colored angora! Delicious! So many scrummy things in the Fiber Fancy shop right now! I love Diana's "playing in the kettle" fibers and I love that oftentimes, I can get 8 oz of a special colorway on one of her

Sue from The Critter Ranch translated a beautiful memory of her childhood into this gorgeous Llama batt called "Creekside Tranquility". Gosh, I just love the colors in this- so gorgeous and it really does look like there is a clear blue creek running through it! There are so many gorgeous things in The Critter Ranch's shop! I am really loving the chocolate "truffles" with little glints of silver

How about some bright and cheerfully sunny yarn from NorthStar Alpacas to lighten the day?! Maple dyed some beautiful yellow yarn with looong color repeats for December's box, and her yarn is so very soft! Alpaca + Merino = heaven! Maple is contributing to January as well! Just about anything in her shop would be ripe for the "Luxe" box, but I am especially loving the angora handspun. Yum!

We're gearing up for the January "Luxe" box, and although this isn't what Connie of Breezy Ridge Alpacas sent in for January, I'd say Suri alpaca fits the "luxe" bill, don't you? This batt is super soft and has the addition of some beautiful silk too! Breezy Ridge Alpacas has a beautiful .com and a fiber-filled etsy shop- and you can find more of this fiber there too- it's called "moonlit hide

Last night I had a dream about Llady Llama Fiber! I can't tell you what it was about though- some mistake I made or something! Anyway, I woke up this morning and knew I needed to blog about Kelli's shop! And as for the Llady Llama Fiber Co shop, I can spend all day there drooling over the fiber deliciousness!

 I am finding it difficult to try to find the words to express how special I think this Light Brown Hare giveaway is. Firstly, it's sock yarn, and everyone needs it. Secondly, it's really really good yarn- LOVE, love this jackrabbit base. Thirdly, it's 6 freaking ounces!! SIX! Fourthly, look at the color- wow! Just. Wow.

Bitsy has a new carder! I think it must be a special magical carder to create batts as soft as these!! This one is called "Fall in Sonoma". It has SW Merino, Seacell, Corriedale and viscose in it. Delicious! I knit Bitsy's "Jenna" Shawl for my Mother last year for Christmas. It was my first beaded lace project and Bitsy's pattern was perfect for dipping my toes in. I actually really loved it

I think Wandering Wool has some of the most gorgeous yarn I've seen in a while! I love the color selection and every base that I have seen come in to the sampler, has just been outstanding.

I have for you, another gorgeous shop, I think you should consider ordering from right now. It's close to Christmas, and if you're looking for a last minute gift, I can vouch for both the quality of WildHare's products and the timeliness of her turnaround.

Sometimes, no matter how "good" I try to be this time of year, I regularly seem to find myself indulging in something sinfully decadent. Usually, it is food or drink, but I think It would be better for my waistline to dip into my special reserve fiber stash and enjoy some decadent spinning. Enter Silver Sun Alpacas and Ricky's gorgeous Merlot and Truffles batt!! Alpaca, Falkland, Milk, soy,

OMG! Wooliebullie!! This fiber is sooo amazing! The color is just perfect! It's called "Beaujolais" and it is on a 50/50 mulberry silk/merino base. Sooo luxurious!! I don't think there is one listing in the wooliebullie shop that I wouldn't just LOVE to have! Amazing silks and glorious wools. I recently completed a sweater entirely of "raw turquoise" handspun. I lurve it!! Please visit

Check out this beautiful alpaca giveaway from Northstar Alpacas!! This is so very soft and fluffy! It is a beautiful roving with fiber from both Snickers and J.R. who, by the looks of them, are very cuddly :D This spun, will be a beautiful swirled yarn!

I am pretty excited about this giveaway! I really loved this colorway from The Dyeing Arts called "Eye of Newt" and it's on the beautiful "gradiosity" base which is a lovely 50/50 merino/tencel blend. Shiny! It looks like there is still a couple of these "eye of newt" yarns in the shop- I just may have to indulge, I love it so! Please take a moment to find what catches your eye at The Dyeing

Breezy Ridge Alpacas is within a few hours drive of me- so sort of local! It's always nice to support local fiber whenever you can and so I would like to take the time to showcase this beautiful lavender heather suri alpaca that Connie has sent in for a giveaway.

I used to say "happiness is hand knit socks on a cold day". I think I will amend it to "happiness is handknit anything made from Out of Step Dyework's MCN DK yarn especially in the Nanobot colorway" (pictured above!).

It would have fit right in with the theme of the weekend :) Brenda's shop is full of gorgeous fibers and yarns like this.

You may not be able to read the label, but the alpaca is from Mercedes, Malachi and Kashmir- and pictured is Mercedes from Buck's Meadow.

I get really excited when I see fibers and yarns with beautiful earthy colors in them. The leaves are turning all around, there is a subtle crispness in the air, and I'm prepping the house to settle in for winter. Knits in Class has sent in this beautiful "forest floor" half skein of sock yarn as a giveaway, and it is so beautiful! I'm thinking it would even be great to make "camo" socks for the

Several of you were lucky enough to have received a Lanitium Ex Machina sample in your August Bollywood box- an art fibers kit- amazing! Nea's fiber is almost less fiber and more art! I really love it! I especially love the fiber experiment packs Lanitium Ex Machina offers- especially the plant fibers one! We're giving away this beautiful art batt today.

For the Bollywood Box last month, Nuri of Dyet Yarns contributed the most beautiful colorway in both yarn and fiber called "Mumbai Princess" and everything about it is just perfect! If any of you have used a drum carder, you can appreciate how difficult it is to create a batt where the colors are not muddied together. This Mumbai Princess batt is amazing! Dyet Yarns is pretty amazing! I can't

I love to spin yarn, but I think my favorite weight of yarn is sock yarn/fingering weight. I feel like you can make so many things from socks to shawls to hats or gloves! If you're looking for some sock yarn to add to your stash- take a peek at The Lazy Lamb Yarn Shop! The Lazy Lamb Yarn Shop is based out of sunny Florida and that sunshine can be seen in some of the bright and beautiful colors

So, my photo doesn't do this Felting Sunshine giveaway justice at all! This bag is a full 4 oz of roving, firestar, angelina, locks, sari silk, and even some fun yarn snippets! You can create a beautiful one of a kind batt, or spin right from the bag! I love Felting Sunshine's shop!

Gasp! This is soo pretty! "Bollywood Wedding" by CrochetbyKA is just a perfect combination of rich reds and glittering golds. It's got loads of beautiful ingredients like alpaca, corridale, faux cashmere, firestare, soysilk and angelina and inside your invitation is fiber with pre-strung gold beads!

For August, MamaJude sent in the neatest "Pachyderm" batts and they are soo soft! With ingredients like merino, silk, milk and alpaca, how could it not be? This giveaway is a plant dyed batt in rich reds, golds, and palm-frond greens! A bit of the natural alpaca can be seen representing the elephant. It's pretty ingenious :D If you've never been to MamaJude's plant dyed stuff, you'll be glad to

Today, we're giving away this beautiful sock yarn from Fiber Charmer called "Diwali Rangoli". It is truly colorful and may just make someone the perfect pair of socks! I love superwash bfl fingering weight too- though I can't quite put my finger on why? Fiber Charmer's shop is full of yarny goodness today! Looks like she's out of this particular colorway, but it is repeatable if you want some!

Llady Llama Fiber Co 's beautiful July samples were just a hair too late for the July Art Nouveau box, but instead of putting her layover tote in the superbox, I decided to give it away here. I am almost reluctant to, because this tote is so gorgeous! These totes are fully lined, and really well made! Included in this giveaway is a fiber sample of a polwarth/merino/sw bfl/domestic wool in "

It's been a while since I've featured The Twice Sheared Sheep here on the blog! I'm so happy to be giving away this gorgeous heart shawl pin. Really, you can't have too many shawls or shawl pins! The stitch markers at The Twice Sheared Sheep is a perfect example of a totally well- executed design- both beautiful and functions wonderfully! No worrying about snags, or flipping stitch markers-

Did you know Catawampus Farm is having a "heat wave" sale until Sept 1st? You do know! :) We love Catawampus Farm! The "Bollywood" samples were especially gorgeous too (but I happen to love purple!) I love that there is such a mix in the Catawampus shop. If you need hand dyed yarn OR some unwashed raw fiber, you can get it there! We're giving away this gorgeous worsted wool (will felt!) yarn

WCMercantile has a new look to their website! It's really quite beautiful! It's really easy to navigate, and I must say, when I see pages of spinning wheels, my little heart starts to flutter! We're giving away WCMercantile's gorgeous contribution to the Bollywood box: "My Love is Gone0 Arya 2" which is a beautifully dyed superfine merino/bfl/tussah silk and Ramie blend. It's super super soft

Yum!! I just love targhee wool. It's so sproingy and soft and easy to spin! I know you'll love it to when you try it! Thanks to Fiber Fancy, we have some lovely dyed Targhee fluff to give away here today! This particular targhee has a tiny bit of lanolin in it, which can also be really nice to spin!

I'm really hoping this pictures shows the "glitz" part of this All for Love of Yarn "Bollywood Glitz" batt! The colors are so juicy and very Bollywood! All for Love of Yarn is just really brimming with squishy fibery goodness and yarn! I especially loved her BFL "bollywood blitz" fiber that was sent in for the August box! All of the colors are just really happy and I would love to see it spun

Woohoo! I love Natchwoolie!! And baby camel? Yum!! Natchwoolie's August submission was truly decadent. This is a "rare white" (even though it's tan) fiber and therefore a bit more expensive, but boy, oh boy is it soft! If you've never had the pleasure of buying something from Natchwoolie, you really should treat yourself to some natural fiber goodness. Some of the blends she has is downright
