hand-dyed yarn is luscious, carefully created by someone who loves what they are doing. provides me with infinite choices to find colour combinations that are irresistable and makes knitting so much fun.

I love variegated or hand-painted hand-spun yarns for experimenting with modular knitting like entrelac and mitred squares because of the wonderful way the colors dance…

Because unique is best!

I love handspun yarns because they are special - there's something about knowing this skein is just a little different than every other skein, and that someone put effort into creating it!

I am in the early stages of my knitting journey and have only recently discovered that are actually individuals all over our country (and world!!) who dye and spin and tinker and generally weave their magic (and TALENT) with yarns! It's been a revelation and as I mostly have only knitted 1 skein/ ball projects it has been wonderful to try these yarns. I don't think I'll ever go into my local John Lewis yarn section again- why would I when these women are producing such beautiful and individual (often one off) yarns. Thank you for the chance to win a bit of it...

I love the uniqueness of Indie dyers- this looks so soft, both in color and feel. Fingers crossed.

I love that you can knit something that's unique. And I think the colors and variations are beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win.

I love when people ask where you bought something and you can name a specific person not just a chain store, say: well, the yarn is by sarah fitzpatrick, and explain how you made the item...

Alpaca and hand-dyed...two of my favorite Things! I NEED this yarn! Am knitting DH an Alpaca scarf right now, and although the pattern is quite boring, the loftiness and the feel of the yarn have me parked on the couch knitting away happily for hours. Would love to add this to my stash!

I have not used hand-spun yarns before...I really would love to though! I would even love to spin my own yarn, one day! :)

I love the variegated colour changes in hand-dyed yarn - I'm becoming such a hand-dyed snob, I can hardly knit with anything else! ;) Hand spun just adds even more character to a finished object. I have a hat made with hand-spun, hand-dyed camel down, and I have yet to own a nicer hat :)

I love them because the are always unique and add that extra special touch to the project.

The depth and uniqueness of the colors and the feel of the knitted yarn.

I love hand dyed yarn because of the nuances of the colors and how they blend. No two skeins are alike so you end up with a truly original product.

I love her shop. the shamrock colorway is beautiful

Love the hat and the color!!

I love indy dyed yarns - the colours are so unique! and usually far more interesting than mass-produced. I'd love to try Sarah's yarn!

I love knitting with hand dyed yarn because no matter if I am the first or one thousandth knitter to use a pattern, the yarn will make the finished product unique and I will never walk into a room and see my exact item on anyone else!

I love natural fiber yarn and natural dye. So hard to find fibers closer to God's oringinal design and bio friendly. Many blessing to you for making this possible and sharing so many patterns inspiring others to knit.

With handspun, hand-dyed yarns, it's as much about the feel of the yarn as the colors. I find the colors are more unique and eye-catching. Then the feel. Oh my! It may be that I just haven't knit with enough different varieties of commercial, but I'll take the way handspun yarns feel any day.

Love handspun yarn - looks and feels great to knit with too. wonderful colors.

I've never had alpaca yarn or hand-died yarn. It would be a real treat.

I love to use handspun yarn, and esp hand dyed, because you know that your project will be full of handmade love!

The colors are simple yummy and the softness is like a feather. Thanks so much for the chance to win the yarn.

I love knitting and working with hand-dyed yarns. Each skein is unique, and finished project too!

I love the vintage details on the pattern and the yarn looks yummy.

I love indie yarns because they are unique...and of course beautiful!

I adore alpace because it is ssenuous and to be hand dyed wow!

I love how each skein is unique, even if they batch-dye. So everything I knit is extra-special!

I love the color gradation of hand dyed yarns.
Thanks for the great giveaway. I love blues and purples.

I love how hand dyed yarns have their own personality and cannot be duplicated exactly. I can feel the care and attention that went into each skein as I knit it.

It's always a treat working with new yarns.

I love the look of hand dyed yarns. The colors are so unique and no one else has the exact same item with the same yarn.

I like the fact that this gorgeous yarn is made on a small, individual scale!

Indie dyers come up some of the most beautiful colors and knitting with handspun yarns make the knitted item look expensive and unique.

Hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn is such a treat!! The incredible depth to the colors, the fantastic textures that spinners can create, the uniqueness that these yarns bring to each finished project... What's not to love??? Beautiful hat pattern - it will make a fantastic gift for a friend of mine who has a bit of a hat fetish.

Yummm. Hand spun and/or handspun/handdyed yarns just have a feel and energy that mass produceds yarns will never have. This is goreous looking.

Hand spun and hand dyed yarns just make you feel good about knitting.

The colors and feel of hand-dyed yarns are beyond compare.

Love the colors. Hope I win.

I especially love chunkier weight yarns in hand-spun. The unique character really shines through! Would love to be able to make this hat in the gorgeous hand-spun shown.

Knitting with hand-dyed, hand-spun yarn is like knitting with a sunset. It's so natural, ever-changing, and breathtaking all at once. Everybody is drawn to the colors, and nobody can take their eyes away from it. And it's so rustic and nostalgic to feel that lovely non-synthetic yarn run through my fingers as I work the stitches on my needles. Hand-made all the way...

This yarn is just beautiful! I love the subtle, natural colors.

I am taken a back to the flow of stitches of this hat. Love it and would love to be the winner.

Just reading about Sarah's studio gave me an image that made my day and relaxed my mind. The ambiance came through. To be in those surroundings and work with yarn would just have to impart tranquility. I believe the product would be embued with that feeling and knitting with it and wearing it would be so comforting. I hope to experience that for myself.

I like indie dyers because they get to use their imagination in creating color combinations we would not think of and that our "mass merchandiser" stores would not carry.

I love the fact that hand dyers can use colours that aren't in the mass manufacturers palate.

I have never knit with hand-spun hard and it looks lovely. Thanks for the giveaway.

Wow, so pretty. I love the variations in handmade, hand dyed yarns. It makes me feel connected to all the knitters and spinners who have come before.

I can hardly wait to use this yarn! The colors are wonderful.
