Giveaway #9
Up for grabs this week is a most beautiful skein!! I am keeping one for myself and plan to make a 2 color shawl for my Mom with it.
This particular skein that I'm giving away has some over-twisted strands in it. Not sure how long, but it doesn't look to bad at all! It is Luminosity (Superwash Merino, Bamboo and Nylon).
FYI: Just so you know, the second person drawn for the winner on Giveaway #7 was the winner. I still have not heard from the winner of Giveaway #8. So, you still have a chance at #8 if they don't come forward by Thursday!
If you are chosen the winner I will post on Friday in a separate post, you are responsible for contacting me by the following Thursday or I will draw another winner. angela@allforloveofyarn.com

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!

Luminosity...
...has hit the shop. It's one of my new yarns this spring. Merino Wool, BAMBOO and nylon. It's a lovely blend, shimmery and great for shawls, light sweaters and of course socks!

I've decided...
...on the name of both of my new yarns! Thank you, thank you for your suggestions!!
LUMINOSITY for the bamboo blend (Suggested by Emily)
and
SERENDIPITY for the alpaca, wool and silk single. I think it fits perfectly, isn't a single ply yarn a happy accident in a way, it was just so good the way it was they couldn't dare give it another ply! (Suggested by Nicole)
Please contact me for your prizes! SURPRISE! I think I will give a skein to both of you!

...awesome! It is going to be a touch choice, nope I still haven't decided!
There were a few in the running, including Zenkun; Tish, I loved your explanation and it fits so well, but it doesn't quite fit into the theme of my other yarns, know what I mean? I keep going back to it though, it's original and I like names with meaning. It doesn't really need to fit with the others I suppose.
I love Serendipity/Serendipitous or Felicity and Serdce which means Russian for "heart"? How can I not love this? I didn't actually ask my husband, the Russian to be sure yet and to see how it's pronounced, but in English it sounds like I'm saying Certs, isn't that a breath freshener or something?
When I read Emily's suggestion: Luminosity, I had completely forgot that I tucked this in the back of my mind as a possible name, I thought it would fit a sparkly yarn, but I tried some out and didn't like them much, dyeing them is a pain in the butt, just too temperamental for me right now. So, I put the name aside and hadn't thought about it for this bamboo yarn until I read Emily's post. As they say, great minds think alike.
So, my decision is not yet final....I might choose 2 names from this great line up, since I have another new yarn and I think one of these other names will fit it well. It is 40/40/20 Baby Alpaca/Wool/Silk in a DK weight Single ply. It's gorgeous and I'm dyeing it now for Shepherd's Harvest.
I'm sorry I have no photos yet; I've got some DK weight drying, but no bamboo has been dyed yet. I might not decide until after I dye some and play around with it to know; I'll keep you posted and thank you all for your wonderful suggestions; I really appreciate it!

70% Superwash Merino Wool
20% Bamboo (rayon derived from the bamboo plant), it has a touch much like silk

Okay, so you want to know how you can win this free skein of yarn?! I need a name for it. If you come up with a name that I like you'll win a free skein!
Keep in mind my other names that I have for my yarn, I'd like it to fit in (at least somewhat), we'll see...
Resplendence, Sumptuosity, Opulence, Sublimity, Soleful, Nogi, Lublu and Seella, the last 3 are Russian.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Deadline until I get a name I like!
