Giveaway – CraftsYarn Hand Dyed Skeins

by 43 Comments

 

This hand-dyed and original yarn created with great love and care by Khrystyna, owner of Craftsyarn®.
How amazing would this skein be for a small one skein project?

All her hand dyed skeins are unique, as it is really impossible to create two identical hand-painted yarns. Yarn is hand-dyed in small batches, so the color of each reproduction may differ, the color and pattern will be similar but won’t be an exact match.


For your chance to win 2 skeins of this amazingly beautiful yarn all you have to do is head over to her Etsy store and tell us one other colored yarn she is selling, come back here and comment below.

This giveaway is open worldwide and ends on the 11th of September.  A Winner will be randomly selected.

Yarn Specifications
Weight: 50 Gram
Length: 100 Meter
Material: %50 Organic Merino %50 Rec. Acrylic
Ply: 3

  1. Her yarn is really pretty! I liked the Blue with Purple Spots, but also the Orange, Bordo, Blue, Purple – wonder what Bordo is?

  5. Such beautiful yarn in such beautiful colors! Another color scheme that I like in her Etsy store is Orange – Bordo – Purple – Blue… merino wool.

  14. Turquoise white with black spots would be one of my choices if I could choose, but I love the color shown above

  15. I really like the hand dyed yellow gradient. A sweater made with that would be beautiful.

  19. She is also selling a yarn that is red/black/white. That’s an eye-catching one! Thank you for the chance to win some of her yarn. 🙂

  20. The yellow/black/white with spots yarn would make for some fabulous, semi-neutral winter wear!

  25. Would love me some yarn. Also available In turquoise orange and purple, and black yellow and white. Thanks for the chance.

  33. I just love the blue with violet spots almost as much as the turquoise cream and beige.

  39. That is absolutely gorgeous yarn! My favourite has to be the yellow gradient ombre yarn though! Would make a lovely lion for my nephew, Leo!

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
