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

...Enduring Sock

It's a bad one this time! The steamer ran dry and part of one skein has been fried! It could be useful to someone, though. This colorway is a best seller, I call it Warm.

Leave a comment and the winner will be drawn on Friday! The winner is responsible for contacting me to receive the yarn.

1 skein is up for grabs!!

This skein of Luminosity has a strand a few yards long that is over-twisted and I can't sell it.

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!

Giveaway #5 of 6!

Here's what I've got this week:

This week I've got another special skein for you! It is 1 skein of 60/40 Corriedale/Angora in Sport/DK, 200 yards. It's not labeled. The yarn is from Angora Gardens, they have wonderful yarns from their own sheep and rabbits!!  The yarn is heavenly to knit with; I designed the Castle Garden hat with it. They have been friends of our family for many, many years. Unfortunately their website is down right now.

Leave me a comment and I will draw a winner with Random.org next Monday/Tuesday.

The winner is responsible for contacting me to collect the yarn within 1 week or else the yarn goes to someone else!

Giveaway # 4 of 6!

Here's what I've got this week:

This week I've got a special skein for you! It is 1 skein of Lublu Sport 100% Superwash Merino. The special thing about this skein is that it is one of my first hand painted skeins (I don't hand paint anymore because I hate pooling.) I've got a better technique that I use that still gives me great color, but minimal pooling! Anyway this colorway is Autumn Smoke. I knit up a pair of socks with this yarn a while back and they turned out great, not too much pooling either. Oh! - the base for this yarn is Louet Gems.

Giveaway #2 of 6!

Here's what I've got this week:

 1 skein of Opulence Light Worsted 80/10/10 Superwash Merino/Cashmere/Nylon

The catch on this one is that it could be pretty badly tangled up. If you have the patience it could be yours, it's a awesome yarn!

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.

The winner is responsible for contacting me to collect the yarn within 1 week or else the yarn goes to someone else!

Thanks much!
