Brazen Stitchery Lace yarn giveaway!

Lace yarn is such a gift to knitters. There is usually a lot more yardage than other weights, and projects take longer to complete- which helps stretch your yarn budget and enjoyment.

There are pages and pages of yarn, fiber, gift tags, and project bags waiting for you to peruse! I just love it when I see a shop chock full of goodies like Brazen Stitchery is!

Quaere Fibre sock yarn giveaway!

I'm going to admit here, online, for everyone to see; I like rainbow colored yarn. This one is especially nice because it has a lovely, creamy, overtone to it all. This would make a shawl or pair of socks that would probably go with a lot of different things! It's called "Rainbow Vortex" and it's by Quaere Fibre!

Like fiber from Lucky Cat Craft! If you've visited the shop lately, you'll understand when I say it's like falling into a soft sea of natural fibers and yarns!

Not only is there a beautiful selection of rare and exotic fibers, they are all just lustrous and touchable. We're giving away this gorgeous buttery chocolate colored yak top! There is of course, much more to explore in the shop. How does cashmere, muga silk and possum fiber sound? Yeah, I thought so :)

I think this little "Alpaca Bird Nester" from Woodland Hills Alpacas is just the cutest thing! I was just watching the birds in my yard peck and scratch around and noticed all the winter birds that would be staying here through cold weather.

Shades of Light chunky weight yarn giveaway!

Today I woke up and it was so nice and cool outside, it got me all excited thinking about how wonderful it would be to start wearing hand knits. Hats especially. There really is nothing like wearing your hand knit hat out for the first time in Autumn. Everything seems right with the world.

We're giving away this gorgeous chunky weight yarn from Shades of Light today. I am thinking this skein would make an excellent knit hat, and the thickness of the yarn means you could have it done in less than a day.

Shades of Light is just bursting with beautiful yarnness. Angelika has organized her shop by yarn weight, and if you are looking for this lovely chunky yarn- look under the "London" category.

Please visit Shades of Light today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Before we draw for a winner, we'll be counting those social networking pings- twitter, facebook, ravelry, pinterest etc as extra entries!

Woodland Hills Alpaca Merino Roving giveaway!

We're giving away 4 oz of superwash merino from Woodland Hills Alpacas! We've featured their new line of "Candy Shop" fibers on the blog before, but this one is called "Skittles". It really does remind me of holding a handful of skittles and looking at my hand afterwards and all the colors on my palm run together and mottle and look awesome.

Well, I have to tell you. I am really close to buying myself one of the Woodland Hills Alpacas nuno felt scarf kits! They are so ethereal and lovely looking and I've always wanted to try nuno felting- how about you?

Knit By Design Yarn giveaway!

We've got a lovely worsted weight yarn giveaway today from Knit By Design! This is making me pine for sweater weather's arrival! I'd love a whole sweater out of this stuff- 50/50 Merino/Tencel. Just as yummy as the worther's original candies she's included with this skein! :)

Knit By Design has really become synonymous with luxury in my mind. Every sample Shea has sent in, has been absolutely divine. The colorways she offers makes it easy to work it in the wardrobe you have.

Fiber Fancy Ice Cream inspired Fiber giveaway!

Fudge Ripple, Caramel swirl and French Vanilla. Do those flavors elicit a visceral response from you? I kind of feel the same way when someone says "Alpca, Silk and Cormo". It just feels good! Diana from Fiber Fancy is smart like that. She knows you all love her stuff as much as ice cream. At least you should. :)

Fiber Fancy usually has a really fun spin a long going on and pages and pages of delicious yarn and fiber. Most of it is carefully hand dyed in small batches.

We are giving away a trio of Fiber Fancy fiber- Fudge Ripple is 2/3 alpaca and 1/3 corriedale, Caramel Swirl is 2/3 Alpaca and 1/3 Romney, and French Vanilla is 2/3 Finn and 1/3 Alpaca. Sounds like something I would want to dig into at midnight! :) To enter, please visit Fiber Fancy today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll count extra facebook, plurk, pinteres, twitter updates about this as entries! Let us know you did it.

Wandering Wool Sock Yarn Giveaway!

I think this is the first time I've featured Wandering Wool's "High Peaks" sock yarn. It's so very scrummy people!  80/10/10 Superwash merino/cashmere/nylon and it's quite floofy and more on the DK side than fingering. 

If it's Wandering Wool, you know Joelle has taken the utmost care in dyeing a saturated, and consistent yarn. This particular colorway is aptly named "Mango" as it is a luscious yellow with sections of sweet coral reds and tart dark limes.

If you'd like to enter this giveaway, please visit Wandering Wool today, find something that you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll count those extra twitter, facebook, pinterest, plurk, blog updates about this as extra entries!

Bitsy Knits Artisan Sock giveaway!

Bitsy Knits should be one of those shops you have bookmarked on your favorite yarn stores folder on your browser. Bitsy has a consistency with her products that I find beautiful. She puts a lot of time  and thought into sourcing her materials, and the final results show.

I think most people are familiar with Bisty on the show circuit- as she keeps quite busy doing larger fiber events through the year. It's really comforting to know that you can get more of that special fiber you saw at an event with just a few clicks of the mouse. Steal some time away from the day, and drop in at Bisty Knits and see what's new!

We're giving this gorgeous plum colored sock yarn away today! Artisan sock has a wonderfully subtle thick-and-thin quality that adds interest to your knitting. Please visit Bitsy Knits, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll count those comments that let us know you've spread the word via pinterest, facebook, twitter, ravelry as extra entries as well!

I don't know if you're like me, but I can always justify a pair of earrings. I feel like they can change the entire feel of an outfit- it's best to have options! I am so happy to be posting a giveaway from Southpass Beads. I'm so lucky to be within driving distance of this unique bead shop. J-Bird is the master lampwork bead creator on site and LouAnn the one with flair for putting pieces together in unique ways.

The selection is constantly changing, and Southpass Beads is a great place to source beads to knit with, spin into art yarns and embellish your felt projects. Today they are having a sale! Check out their etsy shop!

Michigan Spinning Company batt and tote giveaway!

Sometimes, some fiber comes along and you just know you could make something really fun and special with it. I felt this way about this gorgeous art batt from Michigan Spinning Company. It's got all the great trappings to make a gorgeous art yarn- merino, bunny fluff, silk noil, mohair locks, bamboo- mmm delicious!

This art batt also happens to be called "Blue Moon Sundae", and I just found out that a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, and that we have one on August 31st! How neat! I think you should treat yourself to some yummy fiber to spin in celebration :)
