All Natural Qiviut-Queen Yarn & mill ends lot
This months giveaway is for the lot above 275 grams in 2 & 4 ply's sweetly soft. The mill ends are blends of qiviut/merino and qiviut/angora rabbit, some little skeins of pure qiviut all from the bobbin ends that we spin almost daily. Been knitting a lot lately with the qiviut-queen. It has a delicate soft handle and makes for wonderful socks, mitts, scarves, hats, shawls and even sweaters. The yarn has plenty of twist so the socks stay perfect and intact !Here's a Tundra Fern scarf i knit from the qiviut-queen in Raspberry colorway. To buy the Tundra fern knitting pattern go here:

Been working on a new Top down sweater too from the qiviut-queen but its not ready to show yet because i'm busy test knitting my Brae shawl design....knit from shetland and qiviut yarn. Got to make sure my pattern is perfect ! Sold out of the pattern and all our 100% qiviut at the Toronto knitters Frolic....was a fun day....but an exhausting day met some wonderful fibre-holic-friends !
The next show for us is Twist....right here in quebec ! a wonderful weekend at a lovely hotel with great food, great wine and great company !

What would you knit or crochet with the 275 grams of yarn ?
Open to everyone world wide.
Runs from : 04- May 2013 TO 31st May 2013
Great to see your post for purchasing the scarf pattern; could we have the smoke ring pattern now? Or maybe a kit? Thanks and I'm putting in for the drawing.
ReplyDeleteI would knit some gorgeous gloves from the Qiviut yarn...yummy :-)

ReplyDeleteI would make some item what I would be able to wear next to the skin - neck-warmer and a pair if mittens would be great for that!

I've been looking for the perfect yarn to knit a scarf version of Carole Sunday's pattern 'Pachelbel' . Then with the rest I would share with fellow Kiwi knitters. Such a once-in-a-lifetime good fortune ( if I won) needs to be shared.
ReplyDeleteJag skulle sticka fingervantar och en sjal. (Gloves and a shawl)
ReplyDeleteI would knit socks or a shawl maybe.
ReplyDeleteSocks, for sure! Thanks for the chance :-)
ReplyDeleteI would knit hats for cancer patients.
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit some socks from this!
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to be visiting Toronto during Knitter's Frolic and I had a chance to stop by your booth on Saturday. I love working with your yarns, especially the natural colours. I purchased two skeins of Frolic as a treat and one of Shetland Sock to turn into a pair of socks for myself. With the mill ends I would probably knit some extra special socks for my Mom who doesn't get around very well anymore and her feet are always cold. Other than that, I would love to be able to share your yarns with my family by knitting them scarves, hand warmers, socks and cowls. They love to receive my knitted items and always give them a very kind and loving home where they are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love qiviut socks! Can't imagine how wonderful they would feel.
ReplyDeleteStart on all those Christmas gifts for family and friends :)
ReplyDeleteI would knit a yummy cowl!
ReplyDeleteI would knit mittens, socks or a smokering.

I would crochet a teddy bear for my niece with the smaller skeins and a scarf with the larger skein. :)
ReplyDeleteI would try a shawl: too lovely not to show off!
ReplyDeleteI think a shawl or scarf would be nice.
ReplyDeleteA headband, and my very first pair of socks. : )
ReplyDeleteWorth learning fair isle for... I'd try simple gloves in a vintage pattern.
ReplyDeleteA big smooshy cowl for starters :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd make the new shawl by Veera Välimäki, 'Bolt'. And I'd make it as big as I could - and probably leave it on the back of my couch to use as a wrap when I get cold! These are beautiful colors; I love gray.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably knit a scarf or cowl.
ReplyDeleteA deliciously soft cowl!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try a super-luxurious hap shawl.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely yummy! I would knit an old fashioned/vintage "muff" so soft and squishy! Am reverting back to my youth!
ReplyDeleteThere's this lacey summer cardigan I'm dreaming of knitting and could imagine it in these lovely light shades.
ReplyDeleteI'd knit a camisole, and socks. So soft and warm.
ReplyDeleteA hat for sure.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a shawl!
ReplyDeleteSocks, loads and loads of socks! Such an advantage of having little feet :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a beautiful shawl
ReplyDeleteA fantastic, wide, wrapigan. A wrap and a cardigan at the same time.

I'd use the Queen Sock to knit with the other 3 Queen Sock skeins from the Frolic. My knitted Spotted Giraffe Cowl was almost claimed by my spouse, so I'd make him one. I'm expecting a second child in January so I'd use the rest to knit a matching big brother, new baby hat, and an outfit for the baby to keep warm on the way home from the hospital. If I had any leftover I'd snuggle it, which is what is happening to my current leftovers, until they become baby booties!
ReplyDeleteI would possibly knit a cowl.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new2 grandson who would look cute in a qiviut/angora hat next winter. I was very attracted to the gloves you had at the Knitters Frolic in April. My daughter would treasure a pair of those.
ReplyDeleteI would weave with every inch of the lovely yarns. Everyone I know would be happy to receive a handwoven with some of these soft yarns included!
ReplyDeleteI would knit something from a Jane Austen Knits magazine for my 91 year old grandmother, like a caplet/shawl or gorgeous cabled socks,and bookmarks with any left overs.
ReplyDeleteI would crochet some lovely fingerless gloves/arm warmers. Maybe make a gift of them for my mom!
ReplyDeleteI've always been tempted to knit random "ends" into a sweater, with all the colours running into eachother. I am frugal so I will buy your 4 ply yarn and knit it into a sport weight garment. I could get a short sleeved shirt out of 275 grams. I'm the knitter who will buy different dye lots for a sweater and insert random odd lots here and there. See you at Twist!
ReplyDeleteLovely giveaway,thank you for the chance to win it.I would make hat and scarf or bag or little blanket,oh to possibilities,thank you for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteAnything knit with qiviut is a cloud. I would probably knit a cowl shaped cloud.
ReplyDeleteI would pair it up with some gorgeous hand-painted pink I have to make Halyard

I would use that to make a fern leaf scarf, with pointy edges, and add beads. I've made a few and always given them away, but I would keep this for myself.
ReplyDeleteI would knit a shawlette and wrist warmers, if there's enough left over - it would depend on the pattern. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI would knit a shawl:) I would also gifted some of the yarns to my teacher:D
ReplyDeleteI would knit hats an mittens for my grand kids an their cousins as far as the yarn will go. They live where it's cold
ReplyDeleteI think a lovely warm shawl would be my first choice!
