Kama Suutra Sock Yarn giveaway!


Yes, this yarn is really as amazing as it looks!! Kama Suutra created a gorgeous "Watermelon Tourmaline" colorway in their magnificent Maya self-striping sock yarn (avaze base pictured). This stuff will blow you away. When you knit in the round at about 55-66 sts you'll get amazing 2 rows of stripes! Magic!
Kama Suutra's colorways and bases will send a shiver of joy down your spine. You don't have to take my word for it.. try some!
We're giving away this gorgeous sock yarn- but we're going to do things a little differently. We would like to know what you would create with it! Rue, the Kama Suutra dye goddess, has included a note in this package saying "Trust the way you express yourself." Tell us what you would create with this sock yarn or any other Kama Suutra yarn. Winners will be announced later this week- tell your friends on FB and twitter about this contest too!

    Very pretty!

    If I had it *right now* I'd knit my first ever pair of socks; toe-up so I can maximize length for the amount of yarn (instead of trying to guess how long they'd be.)

    If I got it *after* I started my first ever socks, I'd knit Jaywalkers, because I think they'd be great with the narrow stripes.

    I am not much of a sock person and we don't need warm socks in India, so I would probably make an infant sweater and if that messes up the stripes, then I will make a baby hat or two. The colors are just perfect for baby wears.

    Definitely make socks with it! I have never used self striping yarn so I would have to do a fairly basic sock pattern, maybe a slipped stitch rib, to highlight the striping. And then I would seek out some more to make a shawl, as I am new to shawls and finding the love for them too!

    I would make a wonderful summer scarf to wear that would make me happy and cheery all the time. Have to love the colours!!
