I get really excited when I see fibers and yarns with beautiful earthy colors in them. The leaves are turning all around, there is a subtle crispness in the air, and I'm prepping the house to settle in for winter. Knits in Class has sent in this beautiful "forest floor" half skein of sock yarn as a giveaway, and it is so beautiful! I'm thinking it would even be great to make "camo" socks for the outdoorsy people in your life.
We're giving away this beautiful 200 yard skein today. Please visit Knits in Class Fiber studio, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner this weekend, so please take a moment and facebook/twitter/plurk/blog about this giveaway for extra entries!

I love the dye kits! Warm colours and black, right up my alley
The merino single ply worsted yarn in Smoke caught my eye. It reminded me of the fog we had just a few morning ago, soft and all encompassing.
im in love with the merino single ply worsted in lemon..so yummy!
I like both the Mars and Earth batts! Really captures the planets colors.

I just "dyed" and went to yarn heaven! I love the vibrant colors and have my eye on the Merino single ply worsted in the orange color scheme. I can imagine mittens that are drying on the heater, making the house smell like winter, giving me a memory of playing in the snow when I was a child. Pardon me while I drool a bit...
The Mars batts are so pretty, but I wouldn't turn down the Art Nouveau sock yarn either :)
I particularly like the Mister Darcy, Forest Floor, Art Nouveau, and Grape Crush colorways.The dye kits that include yarn with them are also awesome.
Bah, I love all the colors in her sock yarn tab. The pumpkin and forest floor really make me think of autumn though.
"Smoke" is a beautifully subtle colorway.
I'd love to try some of the Greener Shades dyes. I love this sock yarn too! :) I'd love to win!
Both the 'Mars' and the 'Earth' spinning batts are just gorgeous! Love the flow of the colors.

Sock yarn, merino and silk, 440 yards, Long Lake is a wonderful blue.
Love the Spin Your Own Adventure, Poison Apple!
I love the dye kits. I also love the pumpkin sock yarn.
Neat etsy shop! I am in love with the merino single-ply worsted Mr. Darcy because I love that blue colorway and I love Pride & Prejudice!!

Would love to try the Greener Shades dye line!
I just love the colors in the Art Nouveau Sock Yarn - it would make a beautiful shawl.

Grape Crush is GORGEOUS!
I'm loving that merino and silk sock yarn in pumpkin.
I do like the Forest Floor sock yarn the best!
I'm loving the color on the merino single ply worsted in Grape Crush.
I like the Mars spinning batts! And would love to make some socks with the yarn up for grabs!
I like the dye kits. I've only done some basic dyeing and would love to try more. A kit like that would be great!
I love the art nouveau sock yarn! The color blend is beautiful!
And I love the Forest floor too!
I got it in my sample box this month and am dying to get more. I think I might need a pair of socks!
I'm loving the Pumpkin colorway! Although I pretty much love anything pumpkin :)

Art Nouveau colorway is divine. I'm imagining a lovely pair of socks on a cool day, or a nice lightweight shawl on a crisp morning. Beautiful!
The Earth spinning batt is so pretty!
The Art Nouveau sock yarn is lovely.
I love this sock yarn: Sock yarn, superwash merino and nylon, 460 yds, Art Nouveau. I love the colour blue, and it is just gorgeous mixed with the other earthy colours in this yarn. Beautiful :)
All the yarn is beautiful but the Merino single ply in Emerald City is my favorite.
They don't sell grape soda here, except in a select few stores to twice the price of normal soda, but when I lived in Tokyo for five months, I lived off of the stuff, so my favourite is definitely the Grape Crush yarn.
(We do have something called grape soda, but it's grapefruit soda, which, while delicious, is not the same.)
I think this skein wants to come to my house to be a scarf... But it might need a friend. Maybe Art Nouveau!
I am ordering the pdf booklet of instructions for using their dyes. Always interested in learning new techniques!
I think that the Sport yarn, superwash, 270 yds, Verdigris is wonderful and the color is just beautiful.

I like the deep purple in the Merino Single ply worsted weight, 225 yards in Grape Crush. The colorway Smoke in worsted weight is also very eye catching. I can see a hat or fingerless mitts knitted out of it.
