New Arrivals – Giveaway! | Foxfire Fiber & Designs

Lamb-o-rama Update: Still no new arrivals of the wooly four-legged sort just yet. The photo below is a close-up of my neighbor Barbara Gig's little cutie. But while we're waiting, I'm now kicking off a month of giveaways celebrating new arrivals of all sorts.

This week I'm celebrating the arrival of spring shares for Sheep Shares! Fresh, crisp skeins of our hot-off-the-sheep Cormo wool lusciously blended with alpaca from a local farm and bombyx silk.

And a new arrival of another sort. A good friend, Gail Callahan, aka the Kangaroo Dyer, is celebrating the launch of her new book: HandDyeing Yarn and Fleece (Storey Publishing). Gail is an amazing dyer and a truly lovely person. I've been rescued by this "kangaroo" on more than one occasion when I've been buried in the dye studio and she has (literally) hopped in to lend a hand. Her book is a refreshing, colorful guide for both new and seasoned dyers. I couldn't be happier for her.

This week's giveaway is a Sheep Shares spring share: a Farm Yarn Sampler of 2 skeins of Cormo Silk Alpaca – plus a copy of Gail's new book!

To enter you must do 2 things:

#1 – Post a comment here – to this post. Share a new arrival story of your own if you like.

#2 – Then hop right over to the Kangaroo Dyer's blog and post a quick note of congratulations to Gail. (BTW she has no idea I'm doing this – let's see how long it takes her to find out!)

I'll draw the name next Friday, April 2 (by 8 am EST) from the list of those who have posted comments to both blogs.

Please, one entry per person. Be sure to include your email address in your comment here so I can notify the winner. Yarn Share and book prize will be shipped at the same time I ship Sheep Shares spring shares – in or about the first week of May).

Spread the word, have fun. Next Friday when I announce the winner, I'll post the details for the next giveway. Stay tuned here for lamb-orama updates.
