Giveaway – CraftsYarn Hand Dyed Skeins

by

 

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.

  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!

Summer T-Shirt Knitting Patterns

Knitters are always looking for ways to continue to knit and to wear their knits even when it’s hot outside, so there are tots of great T0shirt knitting patterns to choose from. I love knitting short-sleeved shirts because they feel so much faster than sweaters, and you can wear them on top of dresses or even longer-sleeved items when it gets cooler.

There are lots of different styles of knit tops, from the basic to the more detailed. On the more basic side are things like the Perfect T-Shirt from Originally Lovely, a basic raglan tee with nine sizes and worked in worsted weight yarn; Paper Bloom by Yvonne Hugo (free on Ravelry), available in six sizes and worked with cotton and silk yarn for extra coolness; or Iris H’s Amelia Top, also on Ravelry, a slim fit, DK weight top with nine size.

Jazz it up with a bit of lace like on the Athens Lace Hem top by Sarah Hatton (Ravelry). This otherwise simple project has a bit of lace at the bottom, which is an easy way to make a project more interesting without a ton of work. This one uses fingering weight yarn and comes in nine sizes.

Another simple embellishment is to emphasize the lines of your top with different stitches. The Spring Lines top uses twisted ribbing at the center front and V-neck and along the raglan lines to give it a slimmer fit and more interest. This design from Turquoise Toque Designs has 11 size options and is available on Ravelry.

Silfurberg by Joji Locatelli uses both of these elements, with lace panels at the center front and back and purl ridges throughout to make it a little more fun to knit and to wear. The pattern uses fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Learn more on Ravelry.

Keep it simple or add puffed sleeves (and/or long sleeves) to the slim fit Knitty Committee top by Lily Kate France. This one has two length options, waist shaping and optional bust darts to fulfill all your curvy top dreams, and it comes in nine sizes. You’ll find it on Ravelry.

Take it even more romantic with the Daphne Top from Friday Knits, which has puffed sleeves and applied I-cord to emphasize the bust and sweetheart neckline. It comes in eight sizes and uses DK weight yarn.

Or add some sweet flowers with the Gigio pattern from Emilie Luis. This pretty pattern found on Ravelry has cable panels running up the front with the option for adding sweet embroidered flowers. You can also add decorative buttons if you like. It comes in 11 sizes and calls for sport weight yarn.
