I have randomly chosen the six winners of our anniversary contest! Each person won a skein of the special edition Better than Tin colorway dyed by Hedgehog Fibres for our 10th anniversary kit that went on sale (and sold out in record time) a few days ago. You were asked to design your own skein, and the winners are...
Beth, who said "I just got back from the UP, and I was struck by the dark maroon color of the rocks against the light green spring vegetation, all in the fog generated by the cold water of Lake Superior. I'd love to see an ivory base with sections of that dark red and flecks of bright green!

Therese, who said " I would love to see greys and blacks with streaks of peachy pinks, purples, and blues like all the colors of the sky."
Aimee, who said "Always bright happy colors, especially pinks and oranges or bright purples. Very rarely am I drawn to greys or blues."
Pat, who said "I would think blue, with some yellow, white and red."
Lisa, who said "We live close to Lake MI and I think a yarn w/ the colors of that environment; the off-white to brown sands, the green tones of beach grass and the shifting greys/blues/turquoises of the lake would be stunning!"
Jaclyn, who said "Ocean blues and sunset pink and orange like a tropical sunset!"
Such stunning ideas, everyone! Here are a few hints at some of the special colors that Beata and her team are dyeing up just for us. A tease, if you will. I will have batch of these for you later this summer... along with others.
If you didn't see our next contest, you still have a day to enter. Thanks for playing!
Ooh, I so want to score special colors 1 & 3! Love them to pieces.
Well done ladies!

They are all gorgeous but I especially love 1 & 3. I am dying to get sock yarn in Pistacjio & Concrete. Any chance you get more of that soon?
