A Giveaway From Evermore Studios! CLOSED

I'm sure you've seen my hexipuffs. I posted them a little while back and I mentioned that I'd bought yarn from Evermore Studios to make some puffs. I contacted Lori to see if she'd be interested in me hosting a giveaway, and she said yes!
I ordered yarn from her shop in November, and received it not long after. I had some important projects to work on, so I put the Beekeepers Quilt on the back burner. Once I got the right sized needles, I went to town! I cranked out quite a few in a short period of time.
The yarn is absolutely beautiful. The colours were exactly as they were pictured in the Etsy listing, maybe even prettier. There were NO knots in any of my mini skeins, which is another plus. I also didn't experience any colour bleeding/rubbing off on my hands while knitting, even from the really saturated blues and pinks. This has happened to me on some of my other commercial yarns and it's a bummer when it happens. I get worried that the colour is going to fade, or change. I don't have that problem with this yarn!
I can't recommend this shop enough. Quick shipping, beautiful product, and a fantastic price point. You definitely need to check out Evermore Studios!

You can enter to win a skein of hand dyed yarn OR a pack of mini skeins. Either one would be a fantastic prize. There are lots of ways to enter, just check out the Rafflecopter below!
If you are impatient, or aren't feeling lucky, you can also use the code "knkrocks" to get 20% off your purchase!
You have until 12:00am on February 11, 2013 to enter. There are a bunch of ways, so make sure you check them all out!

  1. Ooh I've been wanting to start the beekeeper's quilt!!! This would be the perfect push to start it! :) I'd love to get the 103 pack! But I'm also loving the blue in 100 & the pinky/red in 96! So many great colours.

  3. 98 is probably my favorite, but I'd go for darn near any of them--the blue is awesome, and so is that yellow and black--like a BEE. Or a wasp....

  25. I'm digging 101. The colors are more muted and natural-- which I like knit products to be in-- they are easier to match with. :)Thanks!

  26. I really liked mini-skein selection #94. I love the lush green hues, with the bright yellow. Though if I won, I would prefer a full skein for a shawlette.. and I have my eye on one in the Etsy shop for when my taxes come in!!
