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

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!

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.
