So, what do the two coordinated items featured in the picture below have in common? Well…
They will soon belong to one lucky winner! Yep, both of them!
The batt: 4oz 56’s Falkland Wool batt from Into The Whirled
The bag: Crafted by the fabulous Stitched by JessaLu
Why?
There are so many reasons why, but the most important of them all is simply because I wanted to give something back. Starting this venture has been one of the most exciting and rewarding things I have done to date and it is my turn to show my appreciation for the people who make it what it is. And lets be honest, I get something here too. Your feedback and word of mouth are by far the best advertisement I could ever ask for!
So, how does one get a chance at winning this fabulous coordinated give away?! Most importantly – No purchase is required, and you can have multiple chances to win! Here is the breakdown on how to gain those entries:
1) Visit the shops and find something that strikes your fancy (new or sold) and comment on this post before Midnight on Friday October the 2nd.
2) Blog about the giveaway and send your friends; just be sure they name you as their source – each time someone mentions your name in their comment – both of you gain another entry.
3) Tweet a link to this post or the shop and include #itw or #intothewhirled. Two tweets per day are permitted.
4) Help spread the word on Ravelry – just be sure to come back here and let me know!
5) Join the Into The Whirled group on Ravelry. Every memeber of the ITW group will be counted as an entry.
6) Join the Stiched by JessaLu group on Ravelry. Every member of the SbJL group will be counted as an entry.
So there you have it!
Using a random number generator I will pick the winning name and announce the the winner on Monday October the 5th.

Wow, those two match so well! They’re gorgeous! I’ve always admired your roving; so pretty!
How Fun!
Lovely colors!
As if just making such lovely dyed top and batts wasn’t enough ;-)
oh, so pretty! I joined both ravelry groups. Username: sunniefairy
Oooo, what a pretty batt and bag too!
Gorgeous! I’ve been a fan of ITW for awhile now, but thanks for introducing me to SbJL – I’ll have to check her out! Still eagerly awaiting the batt update at ITW. ;)
What a fun contest! I haven’t experienced the delightful goodness of your batts, yet, but I’ve been stalking them for quite a while.
What beautiful colours :D
ITW and Stitched…. made for each other! What a lovely combo of fiber and fabric and a great idea for a giveaway!
Thanks, Cris.
You are both fantastically talented people and I’m proud of how far you’ve come. Count me in as a customer for life! It doesn’t hurt that you’re both wicked fun to be around.
You know how I lust after you both. You two are so beautiful together…I bet you two make gorgeous babies!
This my brain on only two sips of coffee so far :P
I love the blends of your fiber. The giveaway items are so beautiful! I want them!!!
Just received my first ItW order it’s fabulous, I got Minotaur. I really love the Skeeter Bits and Brandywine colorways in the shop right now and the give away items are gorgeous.
You did an awesome job getting that Polka Dot batt to match the bag – so gorgeous!
My post is up! Let the fun begin!
(and here is my official request to not be entered! I don’t need any more bags! lol)
Cris, this batt is gorgeous… and so is the bag. I am spinning your Peacock batt right now and I am loving it!
I love the Minotaur braid. Makes me wish I’d gotten a September Phat Fiber box!

I love the Minotaur colorway in your shop. I’ve been sitting on my hands to keep from buying it, lol! Also like the “Park Slope Floral Swirl in Turquoise” bag in the SbJL shop. Looks like it’d be perfect for a little spindle!
Off to join your group…I hadn’t before because I haven’t actually bought anything from you yet!
just tweeted–coudln’t wait! now off to look at the shops
@juulia

Cool. I’m in both groups.. ;) You guys did a marvelous job. That fiber and the bag are perfect together and seriously inspirational. Bravo!
I’m in love with Skeeter Bits… cute name and gorgeous roving. It may just have to be mine.
Oh my word, I’m in awe of your work. I love the into the wood colorway. I have to come back later when I can spend more time and money!
Ok… tweeted and facebooked as well :) I’m both wonderlandfiber and polyartgirl
Yay, I hope I win ;) You chose my favorite colors for this giveaway…
Jess sent me to your shop some time ago and I was quite impressed. I’m rather drawn to all of your colorways, but current favorites are Minotaur and Hiwassee River. Wait, did I spell that right? Anyway. Good luck with your contest. I’ll tweet it soon.
My goodness, that’s a beautiful batt in the picture. Is it the Minotaur? My 2 yo agrees. He looked at it and told me it was “mama’s yarn!” I might have to do a little shopping to make him right ;)
I joined Jess’ group on Ravelry yesterday. I’m off to join yours now!
I’m not a spinner yet as I’m waiting for my first spindle (yaaaay!) to arrive. Dinoflagellates is my absolute favorite. What gorgeous colors!!
I’ve blogged about the contest here: http://stringandapairofsticks.blogspot.com/
neejess from Ravelry sent me.
I tweeted!
I also spread the word on Ravelry, in the Karma Yarn Swap group :)
Yeah, right! How could I choose just one thing in each shop I love? Quadruped Amaphore is amazing from ITW and Sock Monkeys, in honor of my little monkey, is my fave from JessaLu!

Joined JessaLu’s Rav group (already a member of the Into The Whirled group)
and am totally crossing my fingers.
Okay I tweeted and haven’t a clue of how to link it here :P
Tweeted and joined both groups. :)
forgot my user name on Twitter is neverrenough and Ravelry is neverenough :)
I’m a sucker for BFL roving and the Royal Platypus is just beautiful! And I’ve always been curious about the zippered pouches. The Park Slope floral was one fabric I’ve done KIPs in before and it’s just so vibrant!
I’ll be posting a link in my blog to this.

Just joined both groups on Ravelry! It is so cool how talented you ladies are!
That batt is gorgeous! Such a beautiful colorway (and the coordinated bag is adorable!)
I also love the Winter Wood Blue Faced Leicester. The colors are so rich and earthy and look like a dream to work with.
I came here from JessaLu’s blog. I’m very glad. You have wonderful things in your etsy store. My favorites are the Merino/Silk in “Goldworthy” and the “Peacock” & “Unfolding” Falkland wool batts. Lovely batts especially.
Great contest! Love the bag and the batt!
I visited your shop and fell in love with this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31452953
Merino and Bamboo – yum! The colorway is just so fun!
As for Jess’ shop, I love them all (I have 2 currently) but my favorite in the shop is this one: http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=474083 Gotta love polka dots!
That’s beautiful! Great job!!!
Ooh I love the Hiwassee River! Thanks for a chance to win – and your photography is great!
Fabulous giveaway! I was directed here by LadyFirelyght on ravelry. I think my favorite thing in the shops at the moment is this box bag. Such happy polka dots!
http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=474083
(I’m not yet a spinner, so I can only drool over the batts and admire the pretty colors from afar. Someday I’ll get myself a drop spindle and learn!)
I just love the box-bags. From the ones available in the shop, I think I like the turtle one best. (But the one you’re offering is pretty sweet, too!)
Thank you for a great contest!
What a great idea! I have to say I love your ‘Brandywine’ colorway since it includes some of my favorite colors plus I really enjoy spinning superwash BFL. I just might have to make it mine!
