Yarn Love Drawing Giveaway



On Episode 49 I had the privilege of sharing a knitting story provided by designer, Gudrun Johnston and reviewing the beautiful yarns from the company Yarn Love.

Both Gudrun and Yarn Love have contributed this amazing prize for you to enter to win.


This prize includes a copy of Gudrun's new book The Shetland Trader Book 1,
 and 7 skeins of Yarn Love yarn!

I think that this skein of Amy March yarn would make a lovely Norie hat from the book...


And the Elizabeth Bennet yarn would be so nice for the Hömin Shawl.


All of the Yarn Love yarns are wonderful, but I found myself particularly enamored by the Elizabeth Bennet yarn in the colorway Allure. It's just.. alluring. I'm really into this hazy gray/blue color lately.. and this yarn is incredible. It has a beautiful sheen and texture. This would make the loveliest shawl. 
It's almost too good to use for socks..



So there you have it. 1 beautiful publication, 7 amazing skeins of yarn, 1 very fortunate winner.

To enter to win, please leave a comment including contact information under this drawing post. 
Only one comment per person please.

In your comment I would love to hear what your favorite Yarn Love colorway is! 
You can check out all of the color options HERE.

A winner will be randomly chosen and announced on February 15, 2011. 
Please check back then to see if you've won!

    Really, I have to pick one?

    Actually it isn't that hard - I have been coveting Earl Grey ever since I first saw her website.

    Although, the new colorways are pretty fantabulous. Both Art Deco and Stallion are beyond amazing.

    Candied Lemon just jumped off the screen and begged to come home to me! It would be the perfect shawl for the winter blues. Or for a summer evening, or a windy spring day... I am definitely adding it to my "want" list.
    Thank you for holding this extremely generous draw!

    I have been eager to get my hands on The Shetland Trader since the day I discovered its patterns on Raverly, and this combined with Yarn Love (new to me) would be smashing! I have read on her blog that Johnston soon will launch a "Kerrera for kids", and I think the organic merino Charlotte Bronte would suit this pattern well, for me and/or for my toddler. I think the teal-colours "Antique Teal" and "Art Deco" are my favourites.
