Congratulations to Lisa!
If you’re a knitter or crocheter on Instagram, you might have noticed the hashtag #getyouryarnwishesgranted. This is something that started around this time last year and I was so excited to see it back this year.
It’s been going on for several days now, and it’s such a lovely thing. Knitters and other yarn crafters put out into the world something they’re wishing for — specific yarn, project bags, patterns, etc. — and another knitter grants their wish. The idea is that you grant a wish and then you can ask for something, and continue to do so as long as you like.
I’ve granted three wishes so far and I always love doing it, so I thought I’d share a little yarn love over here this week.
I’m giving away the lot above, which is three balls each of Lion Brand Homespun and Homespun Thick & Quick, both in the colorway Tudor (one of the Thick & Quick skeins is missing its ball band, but as far as I know it’s at least pretty close to a full skein).
If you’d like a chance to have this yarn come to you, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, December 13. I’d love to know if you have any yarn craft related wishes this year, or if you participated in #getyouryarnwishesgranted. I’m ourdailycraft on Instagram if you’re over there and want to give me a follow, by the way.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!
Get some baby sweaters knitted for my cousin and Doctor. They are both new Mom’s and I just want to make something special for them.
I have been on a crochet “holy cow I can’t stop” stint for
a couple of months! Lots a crochet thread projects and gifts. I would like to get back to knitting soon. I’d love to improve and get better at it. Love the getyouryarnwishes granted idea. Going to check that out! Thanks.
I have been wanting to make a scarf, it’s been busy, so I have not started yet. Thanks for the chance 🙂

Recently saw these beautiful Pom-Pom keychains on Pinterest.. I wish to make lots of yarn Pom-poems for all the keys in my house n for my bag zip-pulls 🙂
I would love another 6 hour afghan
I made a “quilted patchwork” knitted blanket for my son with all the left over yarn I had from 10 years of knitting. It is so bright with every color and pattern I could get my hands on. It was very heavy by the time I hand sewed all the pieces together. BUT, I loved it and most importantly he loved it and will sleep under it with his newborn son. Maybe it will hold up enuf to become a family heirloom.
I would love to win this yarn for a friend that uses it to knit prayer shawls for her church.
Would love to use this to make my niece an afghan!!
I’ve been wanting to make a big soft sweater for a new mom who wants something to cuddle up in the PNW.
I have been working on a witch, I know I am very late getting her done but she will be ready by next Halloween!
I am working on an afghan, but I don’t think it will be finished by Christmas.
I am usually wishing I had some sort of yarn and I do now and I am wanting some certain needles as well.
I am super new to knitting and would love this! My grandmother (mawmaw) is currently teaching me how to knit a scarf. She taught me to crochet, so now I am learning knitting!
I am heartily wishing, but in vain, for a new spinning wheel! My old, warped one isn’t working right and I really need to make some white wool socks for my dad!
I love using lion brand yarn. I use it on every other project I do!
Not so much yarn-related, but I’d like a scrapbox craft organizer for all my crafts.
I haven’t participated in #getyouryarnwishesgranted but there’s a RAK (random acts of kindness) group on Ravelry that does something similar all the time; I’ve participated in that (giving and receiving)
Hi. I just started following you on Instagram. I am new to crocheting and with the guidance from some friends I would love to create some blankets for each of my grandkids.
I’m working on a shawl for a Christmas gift. I always have a list of cute knit and crochet ornaments I’d like to get done. Guess I’ll see how much time I have!
I have just learnt to crochet after being a life long knitter and am now tackling a hat for my daughter.
Homespun is a lovely yarn and the color would be ideal for many projects! I’ve made many scarves and hats this year . . . there’s always next year for more projects!
I just finished a hat and have socks, a shawl, and a sweater all in progress. I am looking for some chunky yarn for a cowl.
Homespun is my favorite yarn and I’d love to make a sweater with it!
I made my daughter a crochet hat and scarf and I am going to make a matching set for myself.
I would love to make a few scarves for my daughter my 3 nieces and 2 nephews! keep them warm if it gets cold here in Florida lol.
I am working on a crocheted granny square blanket to fit a king sized bed using Homespun yarn. I’d also like to make a poncho for a co-worker who seems to always be cold! I love the way the color variations work up in a square.
Working on a scarf for my sister.
I used homespun for the first time last year in an afghan that had several different types of yarn. I love it…in fact, I have a scarf on my needles right now. I would love to have some more to “play” with. ;>) MS
I hadn’t heard of #getyouryarnwishesgranted but I am going to check it out!! Thanks!
I’ve been thinking I might make a scarf or two (prizes) for our genealogy seminar in July. Surely folks could think ahead to cool weather and think they might need a scarf. I don’t knit all that well but knit every row with large needles in Homespun turns out a nice scarf.
I’ve never heard of the yarn wishes but what a lovely idea! How spun makes such fabulously soft yarn -thanks for the giveaway!
I have never heard of that program. I would be embarassed to ask for more yarn, since I have so much, but I always love receiving it.
I was able to snag some Homespun on clearance at my local Walmart that was perfect for the Christmas gift I had in mind for my daughter! I would love to win some more; I LOVE this yarn!
I am wishing this year for enough cream color yarn to knit a large blanket for the king bed!
Thanks, Kim R.
I want to try and arm knit! 🙂
With 5 Grandkids and only one blanket done, I could sure use some new yarns for these crochet projects! Thanks for the chance to win them.
This would come in handy for my knit hats I make for cancer patients on my loom!!
My yarn wishes include finding some in my very favorite color (a very pale green-gray) and storage to properly store my yarn. Thank you for the generous giveaway!
I’ve been busy making a couple of dozen preemie Santa Caps for NICU unit at a couple of hospitals and I’m also working on caps, scarves and maybe mittens for one of the local shelters. The list is waiting for family, but my heart is with doing something for those who don’t have much.
I love this yarn and would use it for a pretty hat and scarf combo!
Thanks for the opportunity.
I made snowflake coasters for the ladies at the Christmas luncheon. Now I am working on 2 sets of 8 coasters at the request of the two waitresses. Everyone really liked them!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
Homespun is my favorite yarn for making our church prayer shawls.
Thick and Quick is a nice yarn to work with. I love the colors on the skeins you are giving away!
One can never have too much yarn!! I am hoping to finish two baby blankets by Christmas – wish me luck!
I am wishing for a Zoom loom for making samples from my spinning. Other than that my only wish would be more time to spend with my fiber.
I would love to win this to use for my charity knitting. Thank you for the chance
What gorgeous yarn. I used to live in area with a multitude of artists and crafters. Some raised sheep to provide the wool for their addiction 🙂 I crocheted a beautiful tote bag (note to self – find out where it is) but am interested in building my own (small) loom and that`s where I would use this yarn.
I would like to try weaving and need yarn. Thanks
This would be great for a small blanket when added to the few skeins of Homespun I have in my stash!. Thanks for the chance..
I don’t have instagram….but would love to win yarn. I had some of this stuff with no label from a bag i bought at a thrift store, it was blue and silvery white, I used it on my niece’s Elsa doll. Made slippers out of the rest, it was so soft.
Hi, Happy Holiday. I was wishin for some yarn to make a scarf for the cold weather if it ever gets here. Thanks for a chance.
