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.

Yarn Specifications
Weight: 50 Gram

  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!

Classic Dishcloth Knitting Patterns

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use. 

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make. 

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!). 

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn. 

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart. 

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern. 

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
