My Sister's Knitter. Who doesn't love a fun self-striping sock yarn? For me it has become a bit of an addiction. Imagine the happiness that came over me upon meeting Ashley of Little Dyeworks. Alright seriously, does this colorway scream Andi? Good thing this one is mine, the color is called Aurora and is knitting up like a dream. Ohhhhh, yes. Look at those beautiful pink stripes. Not only am I lucky, but one of you could be the lucky winner of this great skein of self-striping sock yarn in the colorway-Maleficent (jewel-tones). Before we get to the details, how about if we learn a little bit about Ashley and her new company Little Dyeworks? "I am a Singaporean and moved to the US in March of last year, due to my husband military deployment.

I am quite a newbie at yarn dyeing. I will say it again and again, how wonderful is this community we belong to? If you would like to win the lovely skein of Maleficent, all you need to do is tell me what you love about self-striping yarn. **Giveaway closed. Andi. Old Red Boots.
