That’s right, it is Blog Giveaway Day once again. This is a bi-annual event, co-ordinated by the hard-working team at SewMamaSew. Bloggers participate by offering a giveaway on their blog and then linking up to the SewMamaSew site so that everyone shows up together as a big giveaway party. So be sure to jump over there and browse the other giveaways too!
THE BIG PRIZES
These were a big hit last year, so I am giving away two again this year: Little Loom Kits. Have you ever wanted to learn how to weave? I designed these looms and have them lasercut from bright colored acrylic plastic. They are a simple frame style loom, just right for making coasters and little squares of woven fabric. Knitters – you can use up all of your scrap yarn! The “kit” comes with the complete instructions, the loom, three needle-style shuttles and a “beater” comb for packing the rows together. They are fun and easy to learn.
RUNNERS UP
And because I know it is just really fun to win something, I am going to make a few more people happy and draw some random names to receive a “High in Fiber” bandana. These are hand-dyed and silkscreened from my sheepy illustration, 100% cotton, machine washable. I use these bandanas for everything – as a tea towel, to wrap up my scissors before I throw them in my knitting bag, as a picnic plate/napkin, keep one in the car for spills, as a handkerchief, and my husband wears one under his bike helmet to keep the sweat out of his eyes. Darn useful.

I think I like silk. Love where it comes from, and love the way it feels.
Love cotton
I am in LOVE with cotton. I love the feel of a yard of high quality cotton fabric….it’s so soft on the skin and great to snuggle in with a quilt. Thanks for a chance at such an awesome giveaway!
I love Merino wool. Soft, durable, easy to work with. I love it.
I love the natural plant fibers, bamboo, hemp and linen.
I love bamboo

I think i’ll take plain ol’ cotton as my favorite! Great quilting fabric.
Wool–particularly merino and, of course, cashmere.
I would have to say my favorite fiber is cotton. It’s natural and comfortable. Thanks for the giveaway.
What a great prize! My favorite fiber is merino wool. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love cotton. It’s plant based, renewable, easy to work with and versatile.
Linen-it feels so good, and is very forgiving to work with:)

So hard to choose a favourite fiber!! I do love to stitch on linen.
Thanks!
My favorite fiber is Romeldale (that’s why I raise them). I’ve been blending some with silk and alpaca – too yummy for words!
My current fav fiber is bamboo. So yummy!
