Look at the beautiful yarn I received in my mailbox a couple of days ago! In the end of January, Anne over at “Frøken Fargerik” (Mrs. Colourful) celebrated one year of blogging and had a secret surprise giveaway. I didn’t win the first price, but I won the consolation price.
I received three skeins of Iris Alpakka from Rauma and one skein of Abuelita Three Ply merino wool (*love*). Aren’t they beautiful! She must know me because I absolutely love the colours of the yarn she sent me. I also received lovely tea. Some I have already taken with me to work and a few tea bags I kept at home for knitting moments like now.
The Iris alpaca is different from other alpaca yarns I have knitted with before; it reminds me of mohair yarn in texture. I haven’t knitted with flurry yarn in a while, but I have seen other knitters combine flurry yarn with non-flurry wool. Perhaps I could combine it with grey merino wool. What do you think? If you have any experience with this or suggestions, I would be very grateful.
Talking about give away; If you liked the leather tag hat, don’t miss the giveaway I have that lasts until Sunday! :-)
Gratulerer! Stas å vinne så fint garn i giveaway:)

La madeja de Abuelita tiene una pinta....
ReplyDeleteHyggelig å vinne flott deilig garn :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, gikk glipp av blogglotteriet ditt! Du har rett, det har vært litt stille på bloggen min. Sånn blir det når bloggen stort sett handler om garn, strikking og hekling, og jeg plutselig ikke kan gjøre det på noen måneder. Satser på bedre tider snart :)
ReplyDeleteHerlig, herlig garn du har fått! Kombinasjonen fluffy garn/ikke-fluffy garn er konge. Bare se på høstjakken til Pickles ♥
What a lovely giveaway! Sadly, I don't have any experience with combining yarns (yet) but I'll be reading to see how you get on!!!
ReplyDeleteGratulerer. Nydelig garn du har vunnet.
