Let's start the week off right, with a good yarn! I am a big Light Brown Hare fan, and it pleases me to no end that we are able to give away this beautiful skein of "Jackalope" fingering weight yarn.
I mean, look at this dye job! So painterly! And with this month's theme being "master painters" this really fits well, doesn't it? If you love this colorway, it's called "Sunday Dreaming" and you might be able to convince lightbrownhare to make some for you. Look for more gorgeous Light Brown Hare samples in February's box!
We're giving away this beautiful 100g skein of Light Brown Hare Jakalope this week! Just visit the Light Brown Hare shop, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll draw for a winner later in the week. Be sure and use your twitter and facebook powers to gain extra entries!
Thank you for the opportunity to sample your yarns, Dale!

I was blown away with all the hand dyed yarn. The colors look so great. It's difficult to say which is my favorite but I think the sock yarn in either Viola, Sebastian, Miranda or Caliban would make a great pair of socks for me.

Loves me some Fire Nation 1. Thinking a few skeins would make a great shawl.
Hmm, I love all the yarns in the shop, but I think this is my favorite:

It's so fiery and cheerful!
I'm really loving the Orsino and Milky Way colorways this morning. I love Dale's stuff. :D
cthulhulovesme@Rav
Um, so, yeah. I REALLY need this yarn. A jackalope is my patronus. ::Harry Potter dork::
The Taiga 1 sock yarn has completely blown me away. Wow. That's magnificent!
RTed @millarca
Oh, I LOVE her Milky Way colorway!

My favorite would have to be the Culantro. Perfect combo of wieght and colors. Those greens are to die (or should I say dye) for!
The blue delphinium...beautiful!
I think that Saltbox is my favorite colorway--it is so neat and subtle!
love- just lovely! I like sunken treasure- but the green is gorgeous also- wow!
I'm loving that "Saltbox 3" colorway...sooo pretty.
wow that is nice yarn! I really like the salt lick colourway and the sunken treasure giveaway. Super nice!
I love the skein you are giving away. My favorite hand dyed sock yarn in superwash is Berry Pie.
My favorite heavy worsted yarn is Cherry Jam. My favorite light worsted yarn is Long Purple 1.

Oh hey! I just made more of that colorway last week! I have to take pictures of everything so I can list them, but the shop will be seeing new items soon. Thanks, Jessie!
Everything is sooooo pretty! The 'Orange Sherbet' colorway reminds me of the California Poppies which will soon be in bloom again. One of my favorite times of year :) Thank you for offering this contest!

I'm loving the Hand dyed sock superwash wool/silk/nylon/silver - 100g - 415yds - Bright Star 1! Several of the arctic hare line are calling to me, in fact!

Hand dyed sock superwash merino - 170g - 600yds - Shell Blue 2 (it's always difficult to choose, so many wonderful colorways!)
I love the Hand dyed sock superwash wool/silk/nylon/silver - 100g - 415yds - Piccadilly 2.
I am just blown away by the intensity and originality of her colorways. The reds are stunning (any Red Desert, Happy New Year, or Fire Nation, for example), and the blues so intense. And the Jackalope is really different and luscious. Thanks for the rec!
The Mojito, Sunken Treasure, and Caliban, for starters, are making my fingers twitch - and i'm overwhelmed with WIPs at the moment already, lol - but i'd happily frog my current sock in progress to have a go with this stuff. On, and also YUM - Granita, Lemon Criollo, Taiga 2, and Greengage - such creative names for such beautiful colors!
I would search for Sunken Treasure in the depths of the Milky Way...and there is something about Caliban that reminds me of part of my childhood that I can't believe I'd forgotten.
More yarn to covet than patterns to match, but that always seems to be the case!
I love Fire Nation. It's so bold.
So pretty ! I also love the Berry Pie , Long purples and Red Desert !
I love the intensity of Delphinium 1. Just beautiful. And especially love the color of the prize.
Oh me, me, me please.
My favorite is
Hand dyed sock superwash merino - 170g - 600yds - Fire Nation 1
Red Desert, Miranda, Taiga, Winter Forest, Ginger Nut... I feel like a kid in a candy shop with just one nickel. What a talented dyer!
How does one chose a favorite? My, gosh, the colors are gorgeous. I love the blues. I don't have a lot of blue in my sock drawer.
Too many lovely ones - I want them all! Sacre Bleu 1 is especially beautiful
My pick is Fire Nation colorway. So cheerful.
My favorite is the giveaway yarn! And,Confetti 1 is an awfully close runner up. Great shop!
I am in love with all of her Taiga yarns.
I just posted the contest on my blog
elaine-knitting.blogspot.com
The Delphinium colorway is so manly. I just love it.
Fire Nation is amazing!
Very difficult choice. So many beauties to choose from. I'm going with Shell Blue 2
Oooo, I love the Mad Scientist Stripe!
I'll go with Hand dyed sock superwash merino - 170g - 600yds - Sea Lavender 1 as my fav but honestly there are many I would love especially the PRIZE!
Sacre Bleu 1 is really amazingly wonderful.
Oh wow! All these color combinations are great! What a great job with the hand dyeing! Dutch Iris, Bubble Tea, and Blackout are my favorites here.
Wow! There are some beautiful hand dyed yarns here. Winter Forest is a dreamy color and Milky Way is very mysterious.
I like the selection of yarns that are available. The Artic Hare line with the silver fibers is most intriguing.
Love the Hand dyed sock superwash wool/silk/nylon/silver - 100g - 415yds - Bright Star 1, Thanks!

Love that Fire Nation colorway. Gorgeous!
Adore all the different fiber types and colors you have available. I think my favorite is the Avenger Colorway, Love the blue mixes right now!
Oh wow! There are some yummy colors in her shop. I think I'll have to favor Taiga and Greengage. ramie_simpson at hotmail dot com
The Delphinium 1 colorway was lovely!
Jackrabbit in the color Mojito! I added it to my favorites the first time I saw it - and I've looked at it several times without changing my mind. I also love Culantro, Taiga, Winter Forest, Sea Glass ... but Mojito is today's definite top-of-my-list yarn.
I love the Viola, the Long Purples, and I love the "Sunday Dreaming"
I loved the colors in Big Top 1...so yummy.
Thanks for introducing me to a new shop! I love the Arctic Hare collection, but especially the Bright Star colorway. A predawn sky filled with stars.

The confetti colorway caught my eye. So bright and cheery! I love just about everything in that shop, though. :)

Om nom nom! Jakalope Orange Sherbet! Lovely lovely lovely!
I really like the March Hare yarn, Fun Fair 3 is especially lovely :)
notacat at ravelry
My favorites would be Taiga 1 and Nebula. Just beautiful yarn.
I love the sock yarn in general, and the Red Desert series in particular. Great warm colorways!
galia.lael(at)gmail(dot)com
Oh my goodness. i agree with others, it is dang hard to choose!
If i had to pick, i love Sebastian and Wine 1.. I think Sebastian would make a lovely shawl and Wine would make a gorgeous pair of socks!
love the milky way colorway!
What lovely color combinations. I love the orsino, sebastian, and orchid colorways.
Every time I visit this shop I fall in love with something different. This time it is the superwash merino sock yarn Nebula I can just see the socks now.
Hand dyed sock yarn in Fire Nation! Love it!
OMG, so may beautiful colors. Scoop Shop2, Miranda 1+2, Caliban 1,2+3, and Beachcomber were so soothing but I also love the many bright firey colors.
Sue
I LOVE the Arctic Hare yarn. I'm not usually one for sparkly things, but there's something about a subtle sheen or shine in yarn that gets me. :)
I think my fave is Sunken Treasure, but I must say there are just a ton of beautiful colors! I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.
Gorgeous hand dyes! My favorite is Coriolanus 2, it's so subtle, understated & beautiful! The twist on your yarn looks amazing as well.
I love the Sunny, Dutch Iris, Orsino, Fun Fair and Culantro colorways!
Jen
I love the fire nation and Happy New Year colorways!
Colors, oh the colors!!! I want them all!!!1
Gorgeous and beautifully subtle
You have way too many pretty colors, it is so hard to pick a favorite!
I think the Taiga 1 sock yarn it my favorite today, it is such an unusual combination
The sock yarn in sealavendar is beautiful!

Oooh, I love Taiga!

Wow, all the yarns are looking quite lovely! While "Big Top" looks like a *lot* of fun in one skein, my personal favorites are the New Year red/oranges. Wish one of these lovely creations was mine! ;)
Oh, my, sensory overload! So many lovely yarns! Love the Jackrabbit in the Sebastian and Nebula colourways, I'm fascinated how the latter would knit up. The March Hare in Culantro is just stunning. But my favourite has to be the Arctic Hare, choosing between Bright Star, Wine or Caliban is simply impossible!
Thanks for the link

Beautiful hand dyed yarn! If I had to pick one, I'd have to choose the fingering weight Ice Rink. Subtle colors are gorgeous.
Lizbert on Ravelry
Have seen many colorways, but this is by far my fave. I've tried my hand at the blend, but have missed. This skein is perfection.
I loved orsino, sunny and sunken treasure. I am lucky enough to have bought from Dale before. She is really kind and obviously very talented. I have 5-6 skeins of her yarns and will definily be buying from her in the future
What a wonderful ship. I love the Red Desert colorway, and Jackalope is just way too cool.
It's really hard to pick just one ... I guess I would go with Beachcomber. But ask me an hour later and I'll choose something else. Taiga, maybe? And I could go on until there is nothing left in the shop:-)
Wonderful yarns!
Agree that it's really hard to pick just one. But I'd go with the Artic Hare in Bright Star. Also just posted it to Facebook!
I really really love the prize. The other yarns are beautiful, but the prize is my favorite of all. And my birthday is next week so please pick me!
I have never seen such beautifully handpainted yarn. Just stunning. The 'Dutch Iris 2' is amazing, look at the dye job!!! Scrummy :-).
Both Confetti and Wine are absolutely gorgeous.

I'm going to have to say Jackrabbit 6 oz, Crispin's Day 2, a gorgeous red/black/other yarn! I love her colors, I could just EAT them!
I like your Hand dyed sock superwash merino.
I like Hand dyed sock superwash merino - 114g - 400yds - Red Desert 2 I will tweet.
The Jackalope Big Top1 is such an attention-grabber but I did manage to tear myself away to look at all the other gorgeous yarns. Beautiful eye candy, now I want to touch.
I like the "Red Desert" colorways.
I love the Tahitian Pearl 4 sock yarn.
Pretty yarn and I love the names of the bases!
bookwormdjibouti on Rav
beautiful colors! In addition to sunday dreaming, the dutch iris merino jumped out at me. =)
I love them all, but I particularly like Caliban 3....It's great!
i love them all, though i'm attracted to greens right now.
i love "greengage".
Ooh! I like the Red Desert sock yarns! And the Dutch Iris 2! And Mariah and Sebastian!
