There is only so much storage space in my world and having my Dad's fiber collection come live with me has prompted a much overdue clean out of knitting and spinning fibers. Those that have followed this blog know there are usually some pretty nice treasure in my giveaways. I ask no money, only that you pay it forward by donating something to a cause near and dear to your heart. Time, money, supplies, adopt a dog, foster a cat, put a Thanksgiving box together for a local family in need, volunteer at a shelter, do a ride for Breast Cancer, it doesn't matter as long as you are giving something in thanks for your blessings.
To get one of those wonderful lots, leave a comment and PLEASE make sure I have a way to contact you via e-mail for an address. If you have a preferred lot let me know, but every one's name will go into a hat and 10 names (for the 10 lots!), will be picked out from said hat one at a time. If your lot is still available, you'll get it, if not, you'll still get one of the lots. Lower 48 shipping only and closing on this is Friday 10/10/14 regardless if there are newer posts or not.
Lot 1: 11 balls of Berroco Ultra Silk and 1 ball of Filura Di Crosa Malva.

Cindie's wonderful fibers. I have a lot of her beautiful roving. These are colors I know I won't be using for my limited spinning time.

I would love any of the lots. I would donate to our animal shelter here. I love the Pay it Forward idea. Sometimes we need a reminder.

Wow - you must have an awesome stash if you're willing to give any of those up! I'd be interested in Lot 1 or Lot 8. I'm planning to adopt a shelter cat or two to help my aging cat with mouse patrol - seems he's decided that sleeping is way more fun than catching mice.
You are very generous. I will donate to my local animal shelter. Lot number one would be my choice even though they are all beautiful
How fun! Donations in Jack's name will be made tomorrow to our local rescue. Love lot 1, lot 5 and lot 6. Although I know Cindie's roving is beautiful I don't spin anymore, guess I should sell my wheels. Hugs for the teaming masses and especially for Jack ;-)
Donation to Pets In Need, where all of my kitties have come from. I would most especially love lot 5 or 6!
What a good idea! I'll donate to the Gospel Mission/ Homeless shelter.
I would love any of these, I will be donating to our locale animal shelter, amy
Donations made to local animal shelter where we travel and I love to Pay it Forward every chance I get. Love Lot 4, Lot 1 or Lot 9. Thank you so much for sharing!!
I love your Pay It Forward idea, and you are so generous! I really like lots 8 and 9. Does all this mean your dad is hanging up his shuttle?
Wow, you certainly do have a wonderful stash! I would love lot 6 or any of them although I am not a great spinner as I need more practice. I have a goal of 12 hats to Halos of Hope (4 to go) and will add to my donation to our local animal shelter.
Oh Theresa, what a generous giveaway! I would love to have any of the knitting yarns, don't have much use for the roving. I would give to Access, as they helped me after my surgery with the loan of equipment. Thanks for the chance!
What a great way to get organized having parents move in with you. I am going to try that with my mom. Since I am a previous winner I will leave the prizes for others to enjoy!!
I'll donate to my local Humane society. I'd love any of the lots but I'd prefer 4 or 9.
They all look lovely but lot #2 is especially appealing.
I'll make a donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Lot 8 pink wool roving would be nice to get me to use my felting machine. I will donate to the Salvation Army Thanksgiving collection. Thank you for digging out such lovely samples!!!
I won one of your lots in a previous giveaway so am not entering this time. I just had to comment on how lovely and generous you are!
Thanks for the great opportunity! I would love 5, 6 or 4.
My kids and I will likely be baking pies for the Salvation Army Thanksgiving again this year.
