what the winner will receive
A beautiful yarn bowl handmade by my lovely and very talented friend Lauren:
A full skein of KnitPicks Billow (100% Pima cotton) in the shade Ice Lily:
A full skein of KnitPicks Brava Worsted (100% acrylic) in the shade Mint:
And finally a thread/yarn cutter keychain (I have one and have put it on a necklace chain):
I have tried both kinds of yarn previously and enjoy working with them very much, particularly with a yarn bowl made by my friend!

Thanks and keep hooking beautiful things!

For the CAL I did indeed order from overseas. If you want a cheap acrylic that is still nice and soft but is from the US, I’d go with the acrylic yarn featured in the giveaway: the KnitPicks Brava. They have it in Worsted, Bulky, and Sport weights. I did my blanket in DK weight yarn, but that doesn’t really matter — you could just change the size of your hook accordingly and make the blanket the size you desire. Hope that helps!
