Colorful Fiber Giveaway {CLOSED}

The winner of the Giveaway is epspins!  Congratulations Elisa!!!

 Want to get creative?
What would you do with all these?


Over 2 lbs of fiber!  There's 30+ colors here!

Would you make a gradient project, a patchwork yarn?....or maybe just feed your drum carder?

Let me know what you'd do with them all in the comments section here on this blog post.

The Rules:
1. One entry per person
2. Leave a comment here on this post.  What would you create?  OR maybe a color you'd like to see on Mixed-Up Mondays?
3.  One winner will be selected by random number generator on Dec 1st.
4.  Open to members of the Bee Mice Elf Ravelry Group and/or Facebook Page.  Worldwide entries ok!
5.  Please be sure to leave me an email or your Ravelry ID to contact you.  Or check back here on the evening of Dec 1st. :D

Winner will receive over 2lbs of mixed breed wool combed top pictured.  Assorted gradient colors in 1 oz bundles.  This wool is great for felting too!

Good Luck!

I can imagine spinning each color separately and making a colorful cozy throw.   I can see a crazy granny square quilt...or maybe a beekeepers quilt?  

XO

    I would either make mini skeins (kinda obsessed with the lately) or a patchwork noro style yarn. Heather (hcwagner24@gmail.com)

    A Less is More cardigan designed to make use of small amounts of handspun leaps to mind. Or make monochromatic shawls as that's something I'd love to do one day. -- LanaParatus on Ravelry

    Oh my! I'd spin them all on their own and depending on the yardage I'd knit matching fair isle sweaters for my 17 months old son and me. I love some "light" matchy matchy for us.

    I want to try to spin yarn for a triangular shawl where the sections of color get longer as you go, so that when you knit the shawl the stripes are approximately even in width. I was inspired by CatterpillarGreen's self striping shawl yarns.

  11. AliciaNovember 26, 2014 at 1:07 PM

    Oooooh, how wonderful! I think carding some of the colors together into a few gradient yarns would be cool, or using each little color bundle for a miniskein type project. Shoelaceswitcher on Rav.

    It would be fun to make mini skeins and have a variety of colors available for small projects. Although making a gradient might finally give me the motivation to knit a sweater for myself!

  13. UnknownNovember 26, 2014 at 1:50 PM

    I would take the colors separating them by family, then I would make a beautiful skein using all of the brilliant colors.

  14. UnknownNovember 26, 2014 at 3:13 PM

    So many possibilities!! I've been into spinning/knitting sweaters lately, so maybe I would take the plunge into colorwork. A gradient sweater would be cool. I would love to use them to try out my new-to-me drum carder!

    I'd spin them up individually to use in a chevron blanket. Not sure if I'd stay true to rainbow order or mix it up!

    I've been wanting to make a gradient sweater so I'd spin these into little skeins then knit. Then I'd use any leftover for colour work. MissBunt in your Rav group

    These would be wonderful as mini skeins for a shawl like Moonraker... I've always wanted to knit a color work blanket though, so it'd be a hard choice..

    Just found these posts and I'm loving it!! Buying the dyes as we speak. I'd like to make some miniskeins for colorwork, and also overdye some skeins I have that are juuuuust a bit the wrong color. Thanks! -emilyliu on ravelry
