Here in the US we are in the middle of our Spring Break week. The kids and school staff get a week off from school, some use it as a time for family vacation, and some use it simply as a time to regroup and get things done. Here at SSYC, we're going to celebrate with a week's worth of contests! We'll feature a different yarn each day this week, and you'll have a chance to win some yarn. Sound fun? Join us in day three!

Hedgehog Fibres has just shipped out our biggest order ever, bringing with it TWELVE NEW COLORS! That's worth shouting, right?

These have left Ireland and started trickling through Customs. Once they arrive, the crew and I will sort through it all and I'll photograph it for the website. These photos are courtesy of Hedgehog Fibres. But we take new photos with each batch of hand dyed yarn when skeins look different to make sure you get the best and most accurate experience you can shopping with us. As pretty as the pictures are in this post, I highly doubt they would fairly represent the actual batch we get. That's just the nature of hand made yarn.

Do you see two skeins from the new 12 colors shown throughout this post that would make your life more colorful? Tell me in the comments below what two colors you like the best, and you could win them on the base of your choice- either Sock, Skinny or DK. I do believe all these images show the colors dyed on Sock.

Leave me one comment by Saturday, April 7 at noon EST and I'll announce the winner (and e-mail) the following week.

Want to learn more about Beata and her crew? When we started carrying her yarn a few years ago, she joined me for a mini interview. Read it here.

My picks? I'm gravitating toward Goblin and Parklife. But I could easily be swayed to Piggy Bank too.
