Color Bug Yarns Spree sock yarn giveaway!
Jessie of Phat Fiber, Hilary of Hippie Penguin and Ann of Color Bug Yarns
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!
ReplyDeleteI like the Color Bug BFL Sock Yarn - Inchworm.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty colors. Stella Sock-A Beautiful Butterfly caught my eye. :-)

Piper sock - Dragonfly. The color is so Beatiful!!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are awesome! I really like the beautiful butterfly!
ReplyDeleteI love the book used for inspiration, and the yarn "A Beautiful Butterfly"
ReplyDeleteI 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..
ReplyDeleteSonoma leaves me breathless...just the colors of the high desert at sunset.
ReplyDeleteI really like A Midsummer Night's Dream. It would make a really fun pair of socks. :)
ReplyDeleteMmm, silk hankies. They look scrumptious in "Dragonfly"
ReplyDeleteToo much to choose from! I really like Piper sock - A Midsummer Night's Dream.
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Wow! A Midsummer Night's Dream is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love the Silk and Merino in gorgeous semi-solid sky blues!
ReplyDeletePosted to FB as well. :)
ReplyDeletePiper sock in Poppy. Absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo many choices! I super adored Koi, and every other one!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThe silk hankies are totally inspiring! I want to try one for my cozys I am knitting - but which one to pick... so many choices!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteEven though the yarn is just gorgeous, I am eyeing the learn to spin kit!
ReplyDeletei love piper sock maritime..the colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the dragonfly colorway but I'm also inspired by the silk hankies.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletewell, everything is amazing, but i'm drawn to the piper sock - muir wood!!!
ReplyDeletePiper Sock - Maritime! Perfect name for this perfect combo. I usually don't like blue, but this blue in this combo is terrific.
ReplyDeleteThe colourway "A Beautiful Butterfly" is gorgeous. But there are a few more colourways I like :)
ReplyDeleteEverything is lovely, but when I saw this skein of Silk and Merino - Silk and Merino - 2OAK - I feel in love. My color! Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll the colorways are beautiful, but I esp. liked "a beautiful butterfly" and "poppy"
ReplyDeleteWow! It was hard to decide! But I think my favorite is the Stella sock - Muir Woods.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things!!
I love the Stella sock - A Beautiful Butterfly it is soooooo pretty!
ReplyDeletePiper sock - A Midsummer Night's Dream Oh my gosh! Three of my favorite colors in one yarn! Eee!
ReplyDeleteLove the Forever in Blue Jeans!!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Majorly oogling the Stella Sock!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the Muir Woods, Maritime and Koi colorways. I really need to have them all! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Piper Sock in Koi! The colors are so stunning in every single yarn, though!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!
ReplyDeleteKaren aka purplepenguin
The Piper Sock in Maritime is amazing. Wow.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Those colors are fantastic! My favorite is the Stella Sock in A Beautiful Butterfly.
ReplyDeleteThe SunKissed yarn is amazing! Those would make great socks!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI also am really draw to the BFL twist in Koi.

ReplyDeleteStella Sock, A beautiful butterfly, it's so bright and cheerful!
ReplyDelete"Inchworm" makes me want to knit amigurumi worms!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm...like the BFL Poppy roving and the give-away yarn is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Stella sock - A Beautiful Butterfly. I need to make a pair of bright colored socks from this.

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!

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

ReplyDeleteStella sock~A beautiful butterfly needs to come home with me...and go into my 'the beekeepers quilt'
ReplyDeleteAs 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.
ReplyDeleteI love the Stella in Lemonite
ReplyDeleteI like Color Bug BFL Sock Yarn - Peacock Pheather!
ReplyDeleteI really love the BFL twist in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and the BFL superwash in Koi really pops!
ReplyDeleteOoo...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.
ReplyDeleteThe BFL Twist in Mid Summer Night's Dream is beautiful and the silk hankies in Dragonfly are so tempting!

ReplyDeleteI love green!
I'm torn between Piper sock - Muir Woods and the Amelia batt. Beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteInchworm 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.
ReplyDeleteEven if I don't win, Dragonfly has my name on it.
ReplyDeleteI just love their yarns, the Piper Sock in Poppy is my absolute favorite color!!!! Me please!!!!
