  1. Ah, what fun! And congratulations on your 100th sale! You already know that I love Fluffy Cat yarn, and I liked Shrinking Violette from your last update best.

  2. Congrats on reaching 100! All of your yarn is gorgeous and I don't know that I could pick one as my favorite - but I've always like Mermaid's Lagoon...and Copper Penny...and Budgie...ok, I can't pick. :-)

  3. Well, although it's really impossible to pick one color as my favorite I did buy the rose garden color today so guess I'd have to say, for today, that Rose Garden is my favorite. Don't hold me to it as I change my mind every time I look! Congrats

  4. Well, I'll pick rose garden but that's only because I bought a skein of it today. You can't hold me to that though because my favorite changes each time I look at your yarns. Congrats!

  5. I would have to say that my favorite would have to be the foxglove, reminds me of when I was a little girl.

  6. Congratulations on 100 sales.
    It is well deserved - you have some truly yummy yarns.

    Choosing a favourite was not easy but I think Foxglove stole my heart

  7. There are just too many good yarns in your shop to have a favourite. I won't enter the contest since I live abroad, but I did plug for you on my blog. Congrats on the 100th purchase! Here's to hundreds more.

  8. So hard to choose! I think Aurora is my fave.

  9. Came here via Misadventures in Knitting. What beautiful yarn! I love the Beetle color. Black with shades of other colors in it is a favorite of mine, and this is lovely.

  10. I always struggle with the NAMES of the colours influencing my colour choices. Same thing when I'm painting a room.

    That being said, Breath of Spring is my favourite colourway today.

  11. Congratulations on this milestone!

    Okay, I bought that glorious Orange yarn, which should make SIL a gorgeous pair of socks. She should feel spoiled on her birthday.

    I'm still thinking about ordering Raspberry Beret for myself. And not just because I listen to is everyday on my iPod!

  12. I would have to say Moonlit Amethyst is my favourite. But as others have said- they are all very lovely and it really is hard to choose just one!!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Congrats on your 100th sale!

    All of your yarn is so gorgeous! If I had to pick one favourite, I would pick Moonlit Amethyst. But it was really hard to narrow it down.

  14. Wow that is awesome that you have sold 100! And I love the Aurora Top Cat - but since I can't knit (and my crocheting is not really going well) I don't want to be entered, because the yarn is way to nice for me to wreck with my poor skills!

  15. After Midnight. Would love to see how it works up, the colors are wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ooh, nice! Choose me! I think my favorite is copper penny.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Congratulations! I really like copper penny, but it was a really hard choice (and not my usual color palette!)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I came over via Monika so I hope she wins. :-) I really like the blue velvet color myself.

    ReplyDelete

  25. Congratulations on 100 sales! I found out about your contest via Jeanne Knits. I think Bumbleberry might be my favorite colorway. :) Such lovely shades!

    ReplyDelete
  26. So much beautiful yarn, how could one possibly choose! If I must, I would say definitely Iris is my favourite, but I would be happy with almost any colour you have.

    And congrats on your milestone! That's so exciting!

    Congrats Ladies.

  30. That's was a very difficult choice. I like so many of them! But my favorite is French Lilac.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Congratulations on your 100th sale! I must admit that Budgie is my favorite, with Sea Glass a close second, followed by Blue Jean Baby (can't help that...in addition to being one of my favorite colors, it's also one of my nicknames!) I came here by way of Monika (Smoking Hot Needles)...

    ReplyDelete
  32. I happen to love "Rocky Mountain Way--Stray Cat--Sport SW merino".

    ReplyDelete
  33. I like so many of them -- my favourite would probably be : Copper Penny--Slinky Cat Fingering

    ReplyDelete
  34. I like budgie because it reminds me of a Quaker parrot that I know.

    I would love to work with hand dyed yarn for a project

    ReplyDelete
  35. Your yarns are all so pretty! I have to say, though, I think that Pink Pearl is my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think I like mermaid's lagoon. I love blue-green mixes, but it was hard to choose.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Congratulations on your 100th sale!

    How to pick? So many great colours and yarns. I think Sugar Plum fairy is my favorite. Anything knitted with it will seem like a dream!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Congrats! Sooo many pretty colors. My favorite is Bog/Alley Cat.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Duncan and I have been poring over the colour choices for HOURS! Duncan likes Creamsicle but I'm partial to Iris.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hard decision on which colourway is a favourite.. there are lots I think are incredibly beautiful. However, each time my eyes are drawn to Bog. It's a lovely mixture of greens that go together so perfectly..

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'm going to select the Sea Glass colorway this time, but it is a difficult decision. Congrats on 100 sales, and continued success.

    ReplyDelete
  53. You guys never make things easy. like "Which of your children is your favorite?". That's a snap compared to picking just one of these yarns.

    I love the shades in the Bog--Alley Cat-- SW Merino/Nylon fingering. I also love the Safari Markers.

    ReplyDelete
  54. It's a toss-up between Beetle and Copper Penny - if forced to choose I think today I'd have to go with Beetle, but that wouldn't always be the case.

    Congratulations on 100 sales!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Tough choice!
    Sea Glass. Definitely Sea Glass. Or maybe Copper Penny. No, definitely Sea Glass. Or Iris...
    Congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Copper penny for sure. Thanks for the giveaway!
