Picking and Spinning Lollipop Worsted giveaway!


I found a neat little sale going on at Pickin and Spinnin! Get a free sample of handspun or fiber through the rest of the month, with any order you make. I think you're the type of person who likes a sample, right?!

For our March "sweet shop" box, Kim created this lovely "Lollipop" colorway and sent in this beautiful worsted weight yarn. We don't often give worsted weight away on the blog and I'm not sure why! It's so versatile!

Please visit Pickin and Spinnin today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Each comment and each posting to facebook/twitter about this will get you an entry to win this beautiful yarn. Drawing will be later in the week- have fun!

    We definitely want more worsted!

    I love the colors in "Are Your Going to Scarborough Fair". In fact, I bought a skein of yarn in this colorway and now I'm thinking it would be fun to spin some!

    I think I'd have to find an awesome cowl to make with the 'Dilly Dilly' if only because this has to be the first reference I've seen in years to that song! Not too mention that it looks sooo soft and squishy.

    They have so much cute stuff....but I have to say that the Catch a Falling Star stitch markers are fantabulous! I'd love to see those puppies hanging off my in-progress work!

    I love the "Catch a Falling Star" purple stitch markers - I'm debating on getting them rather than snatching them up immediately only because I have a giant vet bill to pay for my dog!
