A few weeks ago I entered in a giveaway from Camaj Fiber Arts for a spinning box. She prepares these and sells them once a month, they are a surprise box of fiber, and always worth it. I entered and she was giving away 3 and I thought well, maybe! I got an email a little over a week ago and I won one of them!!! This one was titled Silk Road from East to West. It’s all about silk, some gorgeous spinning fibers in it! The light colored package of roving is Opulence, 18 micron Merino and Polwarth and Red Eri Peace Silk combed top, and this is soft, soft, soft! The colorful package the same size is Merino and Mulberry silk combed top, and it is oh so soft! The smaller bag of colorful fiber is Soffsilk, a cloud of various colors of dyed mulberry silk. It will be nice for blending on my drum carder with other fibers for color and texture :). Then there is a silk handkerchief with some bleeding tissue paper to make a dyed silk hanky :), should be fun. The last thing is a sack of some Eri Peace Silk cocoons. I’ll have to check out more about degumming them, tho the paper said I could also dye them and string them for my Christmas tree and actually I have a small fiber optic tree so it might actually look very cool :P. This box arrived on Saturday and my birthday was yesterday, what a coincidence was that!!! What a wonderful birthday gift! I like buying fiber from this fiber arts online store, they have a great variety of fiber and fiber tools and some great prices :).

I’m enjoying this nice fall weather, it will be 60’s and 50’s all week, so much better than the 90’s into the 100’s of this past summer! Hope everyone is well and enjoying their day!
