Compassioknit Handspun giveaway!


Today, we're featuring a really neat shop- Compassioknit! I really appreciate the time and care it takes to focus on sustainable and/or ethical fibers! Allison of Compassioknit has sent in a lovely pink and sparkly yarn called "Fairy Godmother" for a giveaway. It's a beautiful pink, wool, bamboo, cotton, angelina squishy corespun handspun!

Compassioknit is full of gorgeous handspun art yarns and clubs! How awesome does that vegan handspun yarn club look?!

We're giving away this beautiful 79 yard art yarn today! Please visit Compassioknit, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner later this week. Please facebook/twitter/plurk/blog about this for extra entries!

    I love Be Mine // VEGAN Corespun Art Yarn, bamboo, faux cashmere, cotton, 82 yds. I didn't want to pick it because it is a featured item and has had lots of attention already. However; the colours are so gorgeous I couldn't not love it.

    What a gorgeous yarn! I love the texture too! all of the yarns at Compassioknit are beautiful, but I found the "Cartoon" yarn very bright and colourful, and I liked the "Mermaid Redux" because it is a mixture of different blues and greens, which I love. Thank you for the giveaway!

    I didn't have to go any further for a favorite than the giveway yarn! Pinks are always my favorite. I settled on "Donuts" as a second choice. Am hoping my number comes up this time!

    While I love Night Swimming, this special sample here is the one I want. It's all pink, which is all perfect for the many breast cancer awareness activities going on this month. I'd love something just like this to knit for my mom, a BC survivor!
