I have never used this yarn before, but even if I dont win I will deffinetly buy Fern colourway or the Aloe :)
Thank you for this show :)
How gorgeous! But the answer is still no. I'm currently living over 3000 miles east of any shop that might possibly carry this. I'd love to get my hands on some!
I've never used any of these yarns but I've been admiring them for a while. Hard to pick a favorite color as some many are gorgeous.

Awesome giveaway. I haven't used this yarn before, but I love the colors. I'm loving Acai and Conifer.

A great interview, Alana. I really enjoyed it. I have not used this yarn and would love to try it! I like the carnelian colorway.

I've had the extreme pleasure of working with a couple of skeins of Road to China Light. It's like knitting a dream! I love all of the colorways, but I think that Hematite is the most perfect shade of grey.
Thanks for the wonderful give away!

I've only swatched the Fiber Co. yarns but have never made a project with them. I'd love to do so though!
OMG! This is your best giveaway yet! You definitely weren't kidding when you said that. I haven't used this yarn co. before but the yarn looks yummy! I really need to take a look - especially if I don't win : (
I haven't had the chance to use their yarns before, but they look delicious! I love the depth of the canopy line, especially the River Dolphin & Laguna. They're all so lovely though!
Great giveaway!

My hands wanted to reach into the www and touch that yarn. I love vintage knits and the beret is beautiful. Don't forget to drink lots of water on your "West" adventure.
I have never used the yarn before. Would love to give it a try, especially with the lovely colors.
Those ladies are amazing. I've always wanted to try Road to China Light and never have. Thanks!!!
I've never tried Fibre Co yarn either. Favorite colorway would be.....all the grays and blues! Fingers crossed!

I've never used the yarns before, but there are SO many beautiful colors! I love Lapis, Malachite, Redwood, Seawater... and all those amazing blues and greys. I want them all.

What a great Giveaway! Love this yarn, the colors are so beautiful!
I've never used any RTC - and I've been meaning to for a long time. Maybe this will be my chance...!
Lisa said: I have never used any of the Fibre Company yarns before. That is what is so great about this giveaway...the lucky winner will get to try them! I especially love their Organik in the color Magma. It must be really yummy being 70% Organic Merino, 15% Alpaca and 15% Silk. Thank You!
I've just recently started listing to your podcast, and I'm really enjoying it :) I haven't used The Fibre Company yarns before, but they sound wonderful and I'd love to try them out!
I have never used it, but all the talk about the book has got me interested.
I haven't had the pleasure of using Fibre Co. yarns...Macaw looks fantastic after looking at snow during this long winter.
What beautiful colors. Win or lose, I plan on this being a yarn I work with in 2011.
Dark Amethyst catches my eye, or maybe because "Darth Amethyst" sounds like an awesome Sith diva. I have listened to your podcast since episode 1 and am so glad I finally got to meet you in person at Stitches. Hope to have Creme & Sugar Cowl knitted up soon - and I did find the Tosh yarn in ginger. Woo hoo!

My daughter & I are about to start the Whale Watch hat from New England Knits by Kate. In their yarn & beautiful colors.
Love the colours, would love to try!
I haven't used the yarn yet, but it looks so nice and I am afraid I like all colours.
Alana, thank you SO much for all your work .... Podcast, patterns, finds. I've found so many great designers and yarns through you, and I honestly love every single one of your patterns. Keep up your creativity.
I haven't used the Fiber Company yarns before and I would love to try them. I like the new Sumac colorway.
Thanks for the chance
rbndbld@yahoo.com
Haven't yet had the pleasure, will love the opportunity in the event I win!
Just getting into knitting, would love some nice yarn!
I have never used this yarn, because in Austria it isn't available.
my favorite colour is blue.
What a lot of prizes in this giveaway.
thank you!
Terra and Road to China would be my two favorite colorways... No, unfortunately, I've never knit with Fiber Co. yarns... and neither with these two colorways... Road to China is so beautiful though, I can't resist it! This book looks seems to be full of little treasures. Great contest, thanks!
I haven't used Fibre Co yarns before but I want to. They are so pretty.
Wow! Gorgeous yarn! I have never tried it before, but like everyone else, I'd love the chance to try it! :-) I love all three colors in your last picture - the purple one is probably my favorite...
I have never tried the Fibre Co. yarns but have had my eye on Road to China for a long time now.
I have been dying to try some of the Fiber Co yarns so I can't wait to win this special package.
Dark Amethyst, Smoky Quartz and Hematite are so beautiful. The Fiber Co. Yarns really have unique colorways. I haven't used them, but if you like them then chances are I will too.

Hi Alana! Thanks for another great episode, and a chance to hear from the ladies behind Vintage Modern Knits. I've never used the Fiber Co. yarns but would LOVE a chance to try them (here's hoping for second prize! *fingers crossed to the breaking point*)
tryste at gmail dot com
is the easiest way to reach me.
Have a rocking time at Stitches and a rejuvenating break. You've worked so hard for this, and you deserve to have an absolute blast!! Looking forward to hearing more from you this summer.
So far I have never used these yarns but I sure would like to! The colors are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for offering the contest.
I haven't used the Fiber Company yarns yet—though I have coveted them in my LYS! The book also looked just fantastic. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
right now my chances are 1 in 670. not good. i guess i can only try... does it make my chances worse if i say i've never used yarn from that company, because i don't have a whole lot of money to spend on fancy yarns?
I haven't used Fiber Co. Yarns, because I like to touch yarn and hold it to my skin before I buy it. I did look for it at Madrona this year, but no luck. However- it looks like several LYSs in my state sell it- road trip! I really love the softness of the colorways, especially the blues and greys.
I have never had a chance to try the Fibre Co. yarns, but they are lovely and so is the book! I love sumac, quetzal, and purple passion in the Canopy, and bluegrass and rum raisin in the Savannah.
LOVELY stuff!! I've never used Fibre Co yarns, but have heard nothing but good stuff....all the colorways are amazing! (Jollyewe)
I made a gift for my daughter in law using Terra in the Henna colorway. She loves pink, and I needed to knit in something a little more interesting. We were both happy :)
I love the Road to China yarns. I made a woven scarf with the worsted weight in Malachite and used a black and gray sock yarn as the warm. It was so nice when I finished it.
I've not used this yarn before but the Terra looks quite lovely and the Road to China would be amazing for a light neckwarmer.
Rav ID: mountgigantic
I have never used their yarn but I have fondled terra at a yarn shop and I love love love it. I always regret not buying at least one skein of it for some future little knit when I had the chance.
The yarns from the Fiber Co. remind me of ice cream. Unfortunately there aren't any stores in Tn. that carry the yarn but I'll find it online!
I have never used the Fiber Company yarns, and I think I would have trouble picking a favorite. I enjoyed the interview, and of hearing about ow the girls used to call each other up with "incredible" questions.
I have not tried these yarns but I sure will after listening to the podcast and the interview. They sound beautiful. I also want to get the book. PJPurls on ravelry.
I've never used Fibre Company before but I always drool over it a little. Love your blog!

Love, Love, love this yarn. I recently used the fibre co. yarn to make Christmas stockings for my nieces. Love it!
I have never used these yarns before but the colours are inspiring.
Thank you for the giveaway.
Each time I look at yarn from this company I'm in love and about to order some. Then I remember all the 'old loves' in the closet that I should really knit up before succumbing again ... and I've been strong lately. ChristineQuebec@ravelry
I haven't used this yarn YET but I am always checking for those "free shipping" blog posts. How beautiful the colors are! Thanks for the opportunity.
I have used Road to China and it was a beautiful yarn to knit with. Thanks for the great giveaway. The projects in this book are all so lovely.
I have never used this yarn, but I would love to!
This is a new yarn company to me, as a somewhat new knitter I discover new fiber sources nearly every day! Thank you for introducing me to them, and for the giveaway chance.

Saw your booth at Stitches West and decided to check you out here. Bought your leaf shawl pattern and some beautiful yarn to make it. What a fun day! Glad to see this contest! I saw Sherry, the Fiber Co rep, one morning and she was knitting Road to China. Heavenly! I want 2nd prize! Thanks for the give away!
No, I've not had the pleasure of working with the Fibre Company yarns. I can't wait to give them a try though! I was delighted by all they colours they carry, and by the creative names for their colours. I liked so many, but I think Chestnut, Olive Leaf, Eucalyptus & Magma were my favourites.
Such AMAZING yarn and what an amazing giveaway! Thank you!
Wow, I've never used Fiber Co. yarns before, but they look beautiful! I'd love to win this giveaway - what beautiful yarns!
I have in fact used the Fibre Company. A girlfriend bought me the most lucsious soft pink canopy fingering... just amazing! Love it!
I haven't used any of these yarns before, but they look GORGEOUS! I would be glad to use them in the future! :) I can be contacted at Ravelry.Com under the username mirfain.
I bought myself three skeins of Fibre Co. Terra in Sorrel on a trip to Toronto in 2008 - just used some of it up this year on gloves and am planning a hat to match. So beautiful and lovely to work with! Of their listed colours in Terra the Eucalyptus made me swoon! Wish I'd run into it while I was visiting the shops in Seattle!
The Canopy shade Coqui is amazing though too!
I adore the 'conifer' colourway but then adore all greens (you'll know all about THAT addiciton!). Thanks for your podcasts - have listened since towards end of 2nd series. Caught up on all those I'd missed between the 2nd & 3rd series then haven't missed one since. Please continue on and on!
I have never had the opportunity to use any of their yarns, but they look absolutely yummy!!! I would love to try.
I am KnittingDakini at ravelry.
Wow! 729 comments! I sure hope that I don't stay at the bottem :)
I have not used this yarn, it is on my wish list! My birthday is in May and I have plans for it!
Hi Alana,
I hope the stitches west show has gone well for you. Your patterns are absolutely beautiful so I am sure you will have many successes.
I would love to try the Fiber Co yarns, they look so squishy and cosy. I want to hold them against my cheek to see how soft they are.

I love these patterns!
I have not used the yarn before but I love the Vintage Modern Knits book. Lovely colors!

I have some skeins of Terra (Indigo Medium) that I just bought this past weekend because I have heard such wonderful things about it. I am still searching for the perfect project! I LOVE Vintage Modern Knits, and am already making the Brigid Jacket from it.
I have never even seen the Fibre Co. yarns at any local or regional yarn shops. Would love to try them all.
