November Giveaway

I have finally listed my most favorite color way in the Duke silk yarn. Check out my store for this listing.


Duke silk yarn is a worsted weight silk yarn with amazing lustre and softness. It's perfect for projects that need a lot of drape like scarves and shawls. And the thickness ensures a quickly finished project. It feels luxurious against the skin and did I mention it's soft, oh so soft! Here's a post on what I made with this yarn. My husband thinks I've taken this long to list it because I secretly want to keep it all to myself, but what does he know!

So just to prove my point, let me announce this week's giveaway. Yes, it is Duke silk in another lovely color way - Pastels! I'm giving away TWO 50gm skeins to one lucky winner. What you have to do is

1. Go to my etsy store and link to (at least) one item from my store on your blog, facebook page or twitter or any other social networking site.
2. Leave a comment here with a link to wherever you have mentioned my yarn. You will be entered as many times as the number of sites you've linked my store in. So if you've mentioned my yarn on your blog and your facebook page I will enter your name twice in the draw.

OR

1. Leave a comment here telling me which is your favorite yarn from my store.

And that's it! One lucky winner (picked by a random number generator) will win these exact skeins below. Last date for entry is Nov 27th 2011 (extended from Nov 20th), Sunday. Winner will be picked the next day. 

LAST DATE IS TODAY NOV 20th 2011 (moved due to a family emergency). My store will be closed but I will keep you posted on this blog.



Happy Crafting!

    Really like the Duke silk yarn with their beautiful sheen and pretty pastel colors. But if I have to pick one favorite I'd go with the "Recycled Sari Silk Yarn Pink Magenta Hot Pink". Gorgeous color! Great price and best of all I saw and felt the neck warmer you've knit with similar yarn in blue and love how soft and fuzzy it is!

    The silk lace you currently have in your shop is definitely my favorite. I saw it and immediately started thinking about what you could knit out of it
