Name this Yarn Contest!
I need a name for a new yarn that I'm going to be carrying.
It is 80/20 BFL (Bluefaced Leicester)/Nylon
I have a BFL/Nylon (Seella) yarn already, but this one is distinctively different and will be less expensive.
It is a 2 ply, with a nice twist and super soft.
4 ounces - 115 grams
400 yards
If I choose your name you will get a skein of the August colorway, which the yarn is featured in here:
I have a kind of theme with my names....
The more luxury yarns have luxurious names like, Opulence, Resplendence, Sumptuosity, etc. and the others I used a Russian theme, Lublu = love, Nogi = feet, Seella = strong. I'm willing to go off the themes, but if you think of one like this that would be great, too!
To enter leave a comment with your name suggestion and also your Ravelry ID, so that I can easily get a hold of you if I chose your name. I'll give you until the end of August!
Have fun!

Each colorway will be a minimal pooling colorway, whether it be variegated, tonal or nearly solid. I dye them according to the yarn, for example if it's lace weight it will be a nearly solid.

I'm back...
...in the box; the PhatFiber Box that is! It's been a while since I've contributed and it's so nice and fun to be back. I've done fiber batts and yarn for November. The theme is Harvest Festival. I hosted a contest in my Ravelry Group to get some awesome inspirational images and they did not disappoint! This is what I choose:
(For some reason I cannot get the Amidst the Harvest Photo to upload, there is an error with it, so if you want to see it click here, it's in the winner's thread.
The yarn is Opulence Fingering: 80/10/10 Superwash Merino/Cashmere/Nylon in a minimal pooling colorway as always.
These are available for purchase at All For Love of Yarn (they are labeled November PhatFiber).
I have some fun things in store for the December Box, a spin a long and knit along; information will be coming soon!

Giveaway #1 of 6!
Since moving to a new city I'm finally making my way through my office. Yes, I have my very own space!! I do love this very much.
I have found some yarn that I cannot sell, so I'm giving it to some of you lucky readers.
The first skein up is a 1 of the green/blue Seella. It is a 75/25 Superwash BFL/Nylon. Most excellent for socks! When I was dyeing it the red dye broke and left it's mark, so you'll find little red spots throughout the yarn. Not terrible, but not worth of selling.
Leave me a comment and I will draw a winner with Random.org next Monday/Tuesday.

Blinded by...
...Science is the PhatFiber theme for March. Here is what I submitted for my samples to the box. Thank you all for your contributions via my Ravelry Group contest! It would not have been so easy without your help, I'm not much of a science fan. Although I was inspired pretty easily by the eye images. As a former Surgical Technologist I was drawn to the eyes! Fascinating
don’t you think? I primarily worked in Neuro Surgery, but occasionally
got to work in the eye rooms as well and I enjoyed it.
I hope you enjoy the fibers that were inspired by all of these fantastic images! Some are one of kind, get them while they are available here at AFLoY Shop!

I'm introducing a new...
...and very lovely yarn! It's name is ELOQUENCE and it really fits! It will debut this weekend at one of my favorite yarn shops: The Yarnery, in St. Paul, Minnesota. I'll be there from 1 -5 in the afternoon on Saturday, August 20th.
Anyway, the new yarn is 70% Superwash BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) 20% Silk and 10% Cashmere. Here is just a taste, there are many more, but I can't give them all away yet!

Tea and Yarn Club...
...February only is now listed in the shop. The clue this time is Tropical. Take yourself away with a cup of warm tea and escape this cold weather we are having, and lucky you if you live in warm weather. You'll still enjoy this great tea!
I have posted last months colorway in the Tea and Yarn section over in the right hand column for you to look at if you like.
I have a new yarn that I will be listing in the shop soon. It's a BFL (Blue Faced Leicester) and Nylon blend. It's beautiful and BFL is known for it's strength and durability. BFL also has a great sheen to it much like silk. I can't wait to knit with it myself! Some sock knitters swear by it wears like iron! I sold some to a local knitter here in town and here is her socks that she is making. These are all minimal pooling colorways and the middle on is my Oceania colorway.

Happy New Year...
...to you! I'm stuck home with the kids while my husband is working tonight, but it's okay with me. The kids took a long nap and I was able to play with the drum carder, I'm still borrowing my friends, until I save up enough to get one of my own. Here is what I made...
They are 50% BFL, 25% Tussah Silk, and 25% Mohair. Soft and dreamy and of course they are available in the shop, two 4 ounce listings.

New Yarns...
...are coming and one is called Luminosity, it has sparkles! It's like my Lublu yarn with a nice tight twist and the fiber content is: 75% Superwash Merino, 20 Nylon, and 5% Stellina (the sparkle!) I don't have any dyed at the moment, but I do have plans to do so. I have a few custom orders before I can get to it.
The other two new yarns I'm going to try out before I add them to my regular line up are a BFL sock yarn 75/25 Blue Faced Leicester/Nylon coming in at 460 yards and Sumptuosity Lace weight which is Baby Alpaca, Silk and Cashmere coming in at 1300 yards.
Just wanted to give you the heads up, I might be needing a few test knitters and I'll post for those in my Ravelry Group.
