Tour de Fleece 2015 Giveaway - Luxury Edition

7/4/2015

Thank you to everyone who played along!!!

For the past few years I have been doing an annual giveaway to celebrate the Tour de Fleece. This coincides with the Tour de France and runs from July 4th to July 26th. Spinners around the world set goal/challenges for themselves and spin during the tour. I am usually a part of Team Golden Willow but this year I have also joined Team Canada. Check out their awesome logo!

Anyways, onto the reason you are here - prizes! This year I have rounded up a couple goodies and made a few packages you could win.

Spinners Prize: Winner is Lisa!

A collection of some of the worlds finest fibres; 2 oz of Merino/Cashmere, a little batt of Angora/Silk (50/50), a Phil Powell supported spindle, a sample of Soak Wash in the Lacey scent and a nice little handmade spindle bag to hold it all.

Book Lovers Prizes:

I also have 3 books from my collection up for grabs:

A Fine Fleece by Lisa Lloyd

Winner is Christy

Pretty Knits by Susan Cropper

Winner is Janice

Luxury Knits by Amanda Griffiths

Any one of those items would be delightful, but ALL of them would be amazing! Good luck for your goals in TdF this year, and good luck to all those entering your incredible giveaway.

How generous of you, Susie! That Phil Powell spindle is beautiful. I'm thinking the spindle and bag would be happy at my house and the fibre looks it would make up into something special for my Mom. Have fun in the Tour de Fleece!

Thank you Deb! A present for your mom would be a wonderful idea, lucky her :)

Ooh! A lovely group of prizes! I would love to win anything but that supported spindle looks amazing! I would however need lessons. Lol!

Thanks for playing Wendy. Support spindling is a lot of fun and once you start, you will see your spindle collection explode lol

I desperately would like to learn how to spin!!!! What a great way to learn by winning such a great prize! Thank you for the opportunity!

Thank you for playing Janice! Spinning is my most favourite thing. Relaxing, productive, time honored tradition, and knitting with handspun is just the best :)

If I won a spinning prize - I might be convinced to try it - if Susie gives me lessons :-) ❤️

Hi Susie, Lovely prizes - I have so far resisted the siren call of the spindle in favour of the wheel, but then I resisted the wheel for alot of years in favour of the loom, so.......
And I love that team logo. That would make a great poster for a studio wall.
Gerry sent me pictures of the little lovely that produced that beautiful fleece - she is so sweet. I haven't scoured it yet so I can enjoy it just as it is, although I have yet to arrange it on the coffee table. Having cats sometimes cramps my style:)

7/17/2015 05:46:59 am

I'm more of a wheel spinner myself as I am a product spinner but spindles are a nice way to slow down a bit and really immerse yourself in the process. They are nice and portable and cheaper than wheels ;)

Your fleece you got at Olds was a very good choice. Gerry takes pride in her wool, you can't go wrong with any of her fleeces. I have 2 fibre cats, so I know what you mean about their need to "help" lol

Thanks for entering!

So excited to have found your shop online. Very interested in learning to spin :)

I guess my prze would be dedicated to that endeavor lol

Spinning is my favourite thing in the world, its a wonderful skill to know and you can be productive and relax at the same time. Glad you found me too and thanks for entering!

I would be happy to win any of the prizes, and if I won one I would give it to my mother. Who I'm pretty sure got her grey hair from trying to teach me to knit.

Just discovering your website now! It's probably too late to enter, haha, with only a day to go... I have almost finished up my challenges which was pretty much just to finish up 5 wips. The last one is in 3ply ball ready to go...

Spun on a Kundert, a Bossie, a Houndesign, a Kerryspindles, a Spindler's Cottage and then a Jenkins and a Subterrenean.

Not too late at all Christy! Thanks for finding me :) Looks like you got a lot accomplished during the tour. And a nice selection of spindles as well :) I have yet to try a couple of those. Thanks for entering!
