classic elite arietta giveaway
Wednesday, September 28, 2016If you have been coming to my blog for a while, you know that I am a big fan of Classic Elite yarn. It has been a true constant in my knitting life. To me, their yarn is always reliable. Always yummy.
Well, Classic Elite has been so generous to help me celebrate my 10 years of blogging and is giving away 10 balls of Arietta yarn along with a muslin project bag and the Arietta pattern book!
Arietta yarn is 80% Merino, 20% Yak, and truly delicious. I have not knit anything with it yet, but I can tell you, it feels incredible.
Arietta is Classic Elite's latest fall yarn and is knit on US size 5-6 needles with a gauge of 5-51/2 stitches to the inch. The book includes a couple of sweater patterns, hats, scarves, and my personal favorite above, Avera. I honestly LOVE that thing. Avera is a scarf, and a wrap, and a sweater all in one. Super cool!
If interested, please leave a comment here before Sunday, October 2, 5pm EST. I'll have the random generator choose a name. And as always, thanks for visiting! xx
