Here in the US we are starting 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 two!
Primrose Yarn is definitely a company that people oooh and ahhh over when they are in the shop. Kelsey and her crew dye up some inventive hues (with equally cool names) in their spacious warehouse studio and we offer three of their base yarns- the most popular is their Adelaide Singles followed by the luxurious Sophia MCN and the new sock base, Ultimate Sock. I've knit Ultimate Sock twice already in the past few months (in Forbidden Forest shown above and Grumpy Jello), and I adore it.

Want to win a skein of your own? I'll randomly choose two winners to win a skein of Primrose Yarn, whatever base and color you'd like. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below telling me what you would name the yarn pictured below. It's actual name is Black Magic. If you were to name it, what would it be called?
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 Kelsey and her crew? I featured their shop on the blog last week with an interview.

Something like Brooding Mushroom. So many of the names that were suggested by others are fitting as well and just as fun!

I'd call it Emperor Penguin. It is reminiscent of the upper body, neck, and face shades on the adult birds.
