Phat Fiber!

I've been sucked into the Phat Fiber world.  What is it, you ask?  A sampler box.  Very limited amounts are put up for sale and are sold out in a second once a month.  I got one this month.  The theme was "Enchanted Forest" and really, how can you resist that?  Or should I say, how can I resist that?

So, yes, I snagged one.  A "mixed" box (meaning it had some yarn and some spinning fiber.  You can also get a "stitches" one or a "fluff" one).  And by Wednesday, my box of happiness came. 

I opened it to find:

The box, as I opened it...What's in that pouch??



Ooooh!  Stitch markers, a needle gauge, and business card coupons!

This is everything I got in the one little box!  Do you SEE all the fibery wonderfulness?  I even got two patterns!



Some of the yarn...



On the left is handspun art yarn from Germany!  It's beautiful.  The other yarn is hand-dyed sock yarn in a kit to make a little toadstool.



Handspun art yarn (in my hand) and a grey merino/silk blend yarn called "Gandalf's Beard".  I was so excited to get that!



Check out this awesome sample.  Sock yarn to knit up, and snips from the other yarns she dyes.  I am especially in love with the thicker yarns and the sparkly one--called Arctic Hare.  Love!

I have a problem photographed all the spinning fiber separately so that when I spin it up you can see a before and after picture. 

Yes, indeed, I have fallen down the rabbit hole...
