Eee! So happy to be featuring Color Bug Yarns today! I was very fortunate to meet Ann of Color Bug Yarns a couple of weekends ago at the Wine and Wool festival in Jackson, MI. It turned out to be a lovely day, and not only is Ann an amazing dyer, she's a really beautiful person too!
At Marcus' insistence (yeah, he really had to twist my arm *wink*) I had to purchase a skein of this "Spree" colorway in the Piper sock base for myself! I think it will make a spectacular small stockinette shawl, or who knows, I may make socks, at any rate, you know I'll be breaking into this when it's cold and gray outside :)
We're giving away this gorgeous skein of piper sock yarn in the "Spree" colorway (featured on silk hankies for August's Bollywood box!!) today! Please visit Color Bug Yarns, find something you love, and c'mon back here and write it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner later in the week, but before we do, please take a minute to facebook/twitter update about this beautiful dyer! We'll count that as an extra entry!

I can't decide between the Blue Marble and Dragonfly colorways. Both so beautiful!
I like the Color Bug BFL Sock Yarn - Inchworm.
So many pretty colors. Stella Sock-A Beautiful Butterfly caught my eye. :-)

Piper sock - Dragonfly. The color is so Beatiful!!
The Dragonfly is nice, but I love the one featured. Makes me think of those giant colorful lollipops. Perfect for when you need a pick me up when it's cold and dreary during the winter.
The colors are awesome! I really like the beautiful butterfly!
I love the book used for inspiration, and the yarn "A Beautiful Butterfly"
I love the Piper Sock - Koi...although I tend to be drawn to greens and really like the Blue Marble...I just loved the Koi colorway...I have not seen those colors together before..
Sonoma leaves me breathless...just the colors of the high desert at sunset.
I really like A Midsummer Night's Dream. It would make a really fun pair of socks. :)
Mmm, silk hankies. They look scrumptious in "Dragonfly"
Too much to choose from! I really like Piper sock - A Midsummer Night's Dream.
I'm currently spinning some Color Bug fiber! It's a fabulous Orange/green/teal combination, and I am loving it. The Piper sock yarn in the Muir woods is very lovely, but so many of their things are!
Thanks!

Wow! A Midsummer Night's Dream is amazing.
I love the Silk and Merino in gorgeous semi-solid sky blues!
Posted to FB as well. :)
Piper sock in Poppy. Absolutely gorgeous!
So many choices! I super adored Koi, and every other one!
The first item I saw on that site was Inchworm and it won my heart: http://www.etsy.com/listing/55928803/color-bug-worsted-superwash-inchworm. The colors are absolutely brilliant.
The silk hankies are totally inspiring! I want to try one for my cozys I am knitting - but which one to pick... so many choices!
I absolutely love the BFL superwash, 4.3 oz - Koi roving. It is such a vivid combination of blue and orange. Those colors are very catchy and i bet its beautiful all spun up!
Even though the yarn is just gorgeous, I am eyeing the learn to spin kit!
i love piper sock maritime..the colors are gorgeous!
Love the dragonfly colorway but I'm also inspired by the silk hankies.
I have to say that I totally fell in love with "A Beautiful Butterfly". When it arrived to my home, my 3 yo daughter promptly claimed it for herself ... likely for socks but we may get more creative.
well, everything is amazing, but i'm drawn to the piper sock - muir wood!!!
Piper Sock - Maritime! Perfect name for this perfect combo. I usually don't like blue, but this blue in this combo is terrific.
The colourway "A Beautiful Butterfly" is gorgeous. But there are a few more colourways I like :)
Everything is lovely, but when I saw this skein of Silk and Merino - Silk and Merino - 2OAK - I feel in love. My color! Absolutely beautiful!
All the colorways are beautiful, but I esp. liked "a beautiful butterfly" and "poppy"
Wow! It was hard to decide! But I think my favorite is the Stella sock - Muir Woods.
So many pretty things!!
I love the Stella sock - A Beautiful Butterfly it is soooooo pretty!
Piper sock - A Midsummer Night's Dream Oh my gosh! Three of my favorite colors in one yarn! Eee!
Love the Forever in Blue Jeans!!
Thanks :)
Majorly oogling the Stella Sock!
I am in love with the Muir Woods, Maritime and Koi colorways. I really need to have them all! :)
I love the Piper Sock in Koi! The colors are so stunning in every single yarn, though!
Oh, such hard choices. Right now, I think my fave is L superwash, 4.2 oz - A Midsummer Night's Dream. The colors make me think of that exactly!
Karen aka purplepenguin
The Piper Sock in Maritime is amazing. Wow.
Oh my! Those colors are fantastic! My favorite is the Stella Sock in A Beautiful Butterfly.
The SunKissed yarn is amazing! Those would make great socks!
I love the BFL twist in both A Beautiful Butterfly and Midsummer's Night Dream. MND reminds me of the color palette I used at my wedding.
I also am really draw to the BFL twist in Koi.

I love the Muir Woods sock yarn...just the thing to remember walking in the outdoors, when it's too cold to go out and I am wearing my handknit socks inside
I love the Piper Sock - Maritime.
Lovely yarns! I'm rather partial to the Stella sock - Limonite, tho.
Oooh! Silk and Marino in 2OAK. Lovely.
Such pretty colors, i really like the koi colorway, and the muir woods.
I love the piper sock forever in blue jeans and the poppy! Too many choices, though, they all look fantastic!
I like the blue marble!

I really like: Stella sock - A Beautiful Butterfly. The colors are soooooo rich! I would love to just stare at it all the time!
i love the bfl poppy
I love the chandelier batt, but I'm also really curious to see what spinning a silk hankie is like!
Stella Sock, A beautiful butterfly, it's so bright and cheerful!
"Inchworm" makes me want to knit amigurumi worms!
Mmmmmm...like the BFL Poppy roving and the give-away yarn is AMAZING!
I LOVE ColorBugYarn and they are not new to me. My second spinning experience was with their BFL roving in the Inchworm color and I have been covetting (in fact been on my etsy wishlist for quite some time now) their Piper sock - Maritime colorway. I have a thing for orange and blue together!
I LOVE the Stella sock - A Beautiful Butterfly. I need to make a pair of bright colored socks from this.
LOVE Muir Woods Sock!!!
piper sock dragonfly.
but it was definitely tough to pick just one!
I love all the colors, but the Sonoma is my favorite....right now.
I love everything in Blue Marble, Dragonfly, Maritime, and A Midsummer Night's Dream!
I love the Stella sock Limonite yarn. Can see wearing these to my Zumba class!
The BFL sock yarn in Peacock Pheather is gorgeous!
There were 2 that I really liked: Stella Sock - A Beautiful Butterfly
http://www.etsy.com/listing/71316154/stella-sock-a-beautiful-butterfly
and the silk and merino fingering weight in the light blue. I didn't see a name on it.
I love the Muir Woods colorway and I think I love the Koi... it's not something I'd usually pick but I think the fiber would look fantastic spun up!
I'm nearing the end of spinning a braid of A Beautiful Butterfly. It's an amazing feat of dyeing.
I still swoon every time I see that Beautiful Butterfly colorway!!!!

A Beautiful Butterfly has to be my favorite.

Ann has such beautiful yarn and roving! But I really love the Amelia batt! and the Koi sock yarn I bought!
Oh Stella sock, a beautiful butterfly and A Midsummer's Night Dream are both beautiful. Cannot pick between the two! Heavenly!
I love everything! If I had to pick a favorite it would be the Koi BFL. the colors are so deep and pretty!
I love ALL the colors -- can't choose a favorite. And I especially love that Piper is also the name of my crazy Border collie!
I want the silk hankies, particularly the one with yellow, green, blue and pink rectangles.
What beautiful colors -- I especially like Inchworm, Poppy and Limonite (will have to Google limonite and find out exactly what it is)!
I love the Midsummers Night Dream and A Beautiful Butterfly.
Muir woods BFL roving. Hmmm.
I like the Chandelier Batt with pretty sunset colors :)

My fave has to be the POPPY colorway in any of the fibres for sentimental reasons Poppy is near and dear to my heart.
I love the Stella sock- A beautiful Butterfly. It is a very happy yarn. I would love some socks in that colorway.
I love the Stella sock - Blue Marble!
I like the Baby Spice batt
Stella sock~A beautiful butterfly needs to come home with me...and go into my 'the beekeepers quilt'
As much as I love the hand-painted sock yarn (the Sun-Kissed colour is so vibrant) and the silk hankies, I really adore the pattern markers, because that's really clever and terribly useful to knitters, crocheters, needlepointers; anyone who has to follow a charted pattern.
I love the Stella in Lemonite
I like Color Bug BFL Sock Yarn - Peacock Pheather!
I really love the BFL twist in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and the BFL superwash in Koi really pops!
Ooo...the Wensleydale 4.1 oz Poppy! Colors of flowers, grass and sky, cheery and bright. but Ginger Spice and Dragonfly are beautiful, too - striking blues! Hard to choose.
The BFL Twist in Mid Summer Night's Dream is beautiful and the silk hankies in Dragonfly are so tempting!
I love the Color Bug BFL Sock Yarn in Inchworm. I'm such a sucker for greens.
They've gotr a lot of beautiful colorways for Piper sock yarns, and my favorite is 'Maritime'.
Sock Yarn! my favorite. The Piper Sock-Maritime is cool
love the colors in muir woods, piper sock. Very nice.
I love Inchworm, Gladiolus and Blue Marble....in Piper Sock...
But I also know and love Ann!
I've never tried spinning silk hankies, but Color Bug Yarns' Dragonfly ones are very tempting, as is the beautiful Stella Sock Blue Marble yarn...
I'm jashleyslc on ravelry, and I'm tweeting this too (also @jashleyslc).
I really like the Muir Woods, but I also love the Inchworm and the Dragon fly. There are really great things to choose from.
The "Stella sock - Muir Woods" colorway is stunning.

Love this color...beach sand and surf!
LOVE Blue Marble, but with so many lovely choices it's so hard to have a favorite!
A Beautiful Butterfly is gorgeous!
I'm normally not a fan of orange, but every time I look in the shop I'm drawn to the "Koi" braid of fiber. The colors just compliment each other SO well!
Those Blue Marble and Midsummer Night's Dream sock yarns are so amazingly gorgeous!
I really like the Piper sock in Dragonfly!

I fell in love with the Amelia batt :)
Love the BFL sock= inchworm colorway. Awesome colors!!!
I love the Limonite sock yarn
Color Bug BFL Sock Yarn in Inchworm: http://www.etsy.com/listing/57483745/color-bug-bfl-sock-yarn-inchworm
I love green!
I'm torn between Piper sock - Muir Woods and the Amelia batt. Beautiful colors.
Inchworm is a pretty irresistible colorway. I also currently find A Midsummer Night's Dream very beautiful. And as my color preferences change, going through some sort of cycle, there's always something that will attract my attention among the Color Bug yarns.
Even if I don't win, Dragonfly has my name on it.
I just love their yarns, the Piper Sock in Poppy is my absolute favorite color!!!! Me please!!!!
