And the Winners Are....
Thank you all for you very generous donations, we raised $950 for a great cause! Your generousity means so much to me and it will also be helping to save lives. I will be keeping you all in my mind and heart as I walk those 60 miles, now for the prizes!
First a beautiful superwash merino 2-ply which was dyed by the Sweet Sheep. There is 206 yards of it. It is called Berry Blitz and is a worsted weight.
This One is going to Keitha!
I also have another skein of handspun yarn. This time it is corriedale that was dyed by Spunky Eclectic for her club last year. It is done as a 2-ply and it has 281 yards making it about DK or a little lighter. It is called Strawberry Fields.
This is going to Lynae!
When we get to $100 I will add in this skein of hand dyed sock yarn. I dyed this one in shades of turquoise and really think it will make a great pair of socks. There is 440 yards and it is superwash. I called it Jewel of the Sea.
This is going to Linnette!
I will also add in this skein of beaded yarn. It is merino plied with silk and beads. There is 135 yards of it.
The winner of this one is Karen!
When we get to $200 I will add in this handspun merino, not superwash, that I dyed as roving and spun up 2-ply. There is 250 yards of this one and it is a DK/light worsted weight. Very soft and I love the colors I call it Sunset.
This is going to Lori!
I will also add in this skein of Rambouillet/Mohair/Angora blend. It is a 2 ply worsted weight and there is 156 yards.
This is going to Jill!
Now if we can get to $300 I will add this 880 yard skein of Zephyr that I hand dyed in purples and blues. It should make a very nice lace project.
The winner here is Stephanie!
Plus I will also add in this skein of beaded yarn. It is merino plied with hand dyed silk and beads. There is 130 yards of this.
The winner of this one is Betsy!
Now if we get to $400 I will be adding in another handspun, here is the first.

180 yards of merino/silk blend in a 2 ply and about DK weight. It has great shine which is hard to capture in the photo. This goes to Christine!
I also have a 600 yard skein of 100% silk lace weight.
This goes to Lynae!
I also decided to throw in a few more Surpise Yarns since you were all so generous!
First is Summer Carnival and this one goes to Linnette!

Next is Ocean a DK superwash merino for those instant gratification socks! This goes to Megann!

Next is some lace weight singles in a color I call Spring Blooms and it goes to Sondra!

And last but not least we have a merino/tencel handspun that goes to Donna!

Now for the Grand Prize my finished Secret of the Stole 2.

This one goes to Gina!

Cayli!!! I got my gorgeous merino/silk today and I immediately dove my nose into it. It smelled and felt so good...soft, silky (duh). You're right, the sheen is not seen in the photo....it glistens. Oh my.....I want to knit with it right now. I love it (oddly enough....purple, and all it's perturbations, is my fave color).
Thank you so much and what a superb idea for fundraising for the Walk.
