Sponsored Giveaway: hand-dyed cotton yarn by Fairythread


It is not a secret that I love crochet and would probably knit too if there were 48 hours in a day! There is something so special about this "meditation" craft as I call it. Once you've mastered the pattern, you can free your mind and enjoy the soft sound of the bamboo needles and yarn...purl purl.

Lovely Belinda from Fairythread has generously offered to giveaway 2 of these gorgeous 8ply 50 gr skeins of pure cotton from Peru that was hand-dyed by Belinda herself here in Australia.

"'Amethyst' is the first colourway in my Crystal Collection and has hues of magenta, violet and indigo. The Crystal Collection is all self-striping (gradient dyed)."

Would you like to make something from this lovely organic and fairtrade gorgouseness? 
Then leave a comment telling us what would you turn these into and I will draw a winner next Saturday (24th of November).

In the meantime check Fairythread's:


Happy Saturday! 

Edited: The Giveaway is now closed, thank you!

Yarn, one of my weaknesses....

A small disadvantage of being into many different crafts, is that there are so many supplies to store! 
I've been stocking up on some yarn recently and and this picture is so inspiring when it comes to choosing colours! I only wish I had a cupboard like this to keep my yarn in.....

Have a great weekend!
