Organic Merino Aran |
Goodness the summer has vanished - and it feels like it too from the drop in temperature and amount of rain that is falling (well here in Northern France at least!).
|
a closer view - isn't it soft and squidgy looking? |
We started the giveaway in June with the Summer Organic Cotton Boucle (colour still to be chosen - Sarah!). For the Autumn we though we'd offer something warm and comforting! Our choice this time is 3 x 100g hanks of Organic Merino Aran weight yarn. The Merino is not a British yarn, but is pure Merino and beautifully soft and warm. Organically certified and processed the dyer still refuses to go through the hoops!!! We are offereing 300g of the yarn which should be plenty for a hat and scarf to keep the Autumn winds at bay - try looking at
Woolly Wormhead's site for some fab hat patterns, I have a scarf pattern that I will include with the yarn! The recommended needle size for the yarn is 4mm and the approximate hank length is 150m.
We have decided that as not everyone wants to join
facebook we will also include followers of this blog, if you do NOT wish to be included in the draw please drop me an email and I will miss your name out!
Hope you like our choice of colour - it is Logwood and Lac, the yarn is handpainted and there is our usual guarrantee that if you find any problem with the dye in terms of rub off whilst knitting up then you are entitled to a replacement yarn.
Good luck to all!

Love, love, love those colors! I am so glad that the hideously (here in Oklahoma USA) hot summer is almost over. C'mon autumn!
That looks gorgeous, how do I get involved in the giveaway?
