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.
