Recently when sorting through my yarn stash, I realized that these yarns don't really appeal to me much anymore. So I decided to pass them along to someone who'd be more likely to knit them into beautiful projects. :) Today I'm giving away six skeins of yarn to one winner:
-Two skeins of Cascade 220 Sport. That's the purple yarn, and at 164 yards each, that's 328 yards of sportweight, 100% wool yarn.
-Three skeins of Cascade 220 Fingering. That's the teal yarn, and yes, it's a much richer teal/turquoise than it appears in the picture! A total of 819 yards of fingering weight, 100% wool.
-A ball of Lion Brand Sock-Ease, enough to make a pair of socks. It's 438 yards of fingering weight yarn in a 75% wool and 25% nylon blend.
To be entered into the giveaway, just leave a comment telling me what's your favorite sort of project to knit: socks, sweaters, shawls, etc. I'll randomly pick a winner in about a week.
{Note: Being temporarily out of work and therefore low on cash, I can only ship to US addresses for this giveaway. Sorry!}

How kind of you! This is a very thoughtful way to declutter the yarn stash!!! I am really enjoying knitting socks right now. I think it's mostly because they are small, portable, and not a "warm" project on these hot summer days.
ReplyDeleteLovely giveaway! I have been on a hat knitting roll for a while - but I recently found out I'm going to be a Grandma (first grandbaby!) so it's baby knitting from now on!

Hmmm....definitely socks! Although I am a beginner and my mom is a bit a of a sock goddess so mine pale in comparison ;) I also love baby things because they are so quick!!!

Hooray!! You may not like these yarns anymore but I LOVE THEM! Plus I'm low on yarn, and I've never actually entered in a yarn giveaway, so this comes at a perfect time. :D I think my absolute favorite thing to knit are hats - the Hermione Hearts Ron hat and the Lotus Hat to be specific. Hats only take one ball of yarn, usually are easy patterns to memorize, are super quick and can be worn with almost anything (even when it's not quite cold enough for mittens or a scarf).
