topaz, ocean, chocolate & buttercream are my faves....
Salt spray...it's gorgeous! I love Artichoke too, but it's the type of color combo I'm always drawn to and have sooooo much of!
Very pretty! I love Aurora but Artichoke is a close second!
Ooooh, these colors and the shine just float my boat! I'm going to have to go with "Red Fox" but wow! Any would be amazing.
Ooh, Swiss Mountain Sea Sock. I love it! And since I've already bought various Handmaiden products in many of the colours there, I'd like to try something new: Ultraviolet, or Salt spray. Or chocolate. Oh, they're all lovely.
I think Moss is my favorite!
thanks for this giveaway!
Sangria and ultraviolet and if I had to, I could pick lots more. There really isn't a color I don't like.
All the colors are beautiful! I think I'd have to choose the hemlock...the blues and greens are lovely.
Holy cow, how do you choose just one? Hmmm...I'd say Forest Fairie is my favorite, but Chocolate and Aurora are right up there with it!
They are all beautiful but i think cedar and sangria are my favourites.
I clicked the link to look at the colors, and BAM! Amethyst was right there. It was fated to be my favorite. Gorgeous!
Wow! How gorgeous! Let's see, I love the Stardust and Aurora, but the Orchid and Moss are beautiful also. Can only imagine how great this yarn feels!!
renewedmind on Ravelry
I do think I'm a bit in love with Forest Fairie!
All are very pretty! My favorites are Amethyst and Wine.
Boreal is just lovely!
jenvaneyck@msn.com
i'm a sucker for purple-so for me i'd be amethyst.
I love the richness of chocolate.
I love both the wine and sangria colorways.
What a giveaway this week! The clour schemes are all stunning, but Caicos is my favourite. I've just found out my November baby is going to be a boy, so my eye is drawn to gorgeous blues at the moment - the thought of knitting his coming home hat, mitts and bootees out of that gorgeous yarn is a dream!
Aurora, but I have so many follow ups! I really like the Forest Fairie, Masala, and Morgana. They're all so beautiful!
I would love, love, LOVE a skein in the Orchid colorway. I've admired the Handmaiden yarn for awhile now, just haven't had the courage to purchase a skein yet.
Gorgeous colors! It's hard to choose my favorite. But if I have to pick... the lily pond. or the amethyst. no, the ocean! (= Okay, the lily pond. definitely. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a difficult decision! All the colors are just beautiful! Right this minute, hemlock is my favorite...but then there is artichoke, or forest faire, or red fox....Thanks so much for the give-away.
Ooh, I love Fairie!
Jess
Masala!! But it was so hard to decide! I really liked the artichoke too...
Mmm, the Boreal is gorgeous. I can use more sock yarn like a hole in the head, but I do know someone who could use a pick me up.
so beautiful and shiney!! Hard to pick just one!! I love the orchid, forest farie, and sangria!! Yummy
Oh wow, what a great contest! I love the blue-silver of Salt Spray.
I would love a skein of peacock. Oh socks make of that would be beautiful.
THe colors are so pretty hard to choose just one- aurora, and sangria were 2 of my favs- but also loved the peacock! This would be a go ahead and choose 2 moment for me!
I love the color Morgana. I love most of the colors, so it was hard to pick just one. I have always wanted to knit with this yarn and maybe.....will win one???
I love the forest fairy! It is soooo pretty!
Sangria or hemlock!
It was a tough choice for me. But ultimately, I'd have to go with the color Stardust (but Peridot was a close close second).
I love the Moss! It's such a bright vibrant green. :)
I like them all but Indian Summer would be my first choice.
I love the Chocolate color! It looks so rich.
It was hard to choose, but I think Morgana is my favorite. Beautiful yarn!
Salt Spray for sure!
Sangria or Buttercream, but all the colors are amazing so it's very hard to choose!
I love the Masala, but they are all so beautiful!
I think I have to enter this giveaway. I've only swatched with the Lady Godiva I won, and it's wonderful, so I would love to try out Super Sock. I love almost all of the colorways, but I think Amethyst would make a wonderful shawl that would coordinate with two dresses that I own. Thanks for another great giveaway, Ve!
Oh wow. I love the ultraviolet one! I have a crush on purple. :)
oh i love sangria and peacock! such gorgeous colors to choose from!
I love Handmaiden! What a great company, and what beautiful yarns. The Topaz color is calling out my name.
OMG...that is gorgeous! I really like Forest Fairie....but all of the colors look just beautiful, so winning any color would be a treat!
I've never seen this yarn; is it as scrumptious as it looks?
I would absolutely love to make a shawl out of the Sea Salt. It is gorgeous!
I've been dying to try Sea Silk, but it's a little out of my price range- I think I'd try the Sea Salt!
I love the Swiss Mountain - it reminds me of a kelp forest in the ocean.
Oh shiny shiny! Love shiny sock yarn! The Ultraviolet is beautiful---such saturated colors!
omg they are all sooooo gorgeous!! The Moss, Ocean, Hemlock, Amethyst....all soooo pretty
Wow beautiful yarn. I would have to choose amethyst or borreal.
Oh, wow, so many beautiful colors! It's hard to pick, but my two favorites are Forest Fairie and Peacock.
I am LOVING the buttercream color... it looks like buttermilk!
These are so lovely! Artichoke, Aurora, Forest Fairie, Hemlock and Stardust are my favorites...
It's a toss up between amethyst and peacock. I love them both.
It's so hard to choose! Amethyst, Aurora, Hemlock, Buttercream, Chocolate... they're all lovely!!!
It's so hard to choose! Amethyst, Aurora, Hemlock, Buttercream, Chocolate... they're all lovely!!!
I've been wanting to try Hand Maiden for a long time. My favorite color is the Hemlock.
Thanks for talking about the Haruni pattern. I hadn't seen it before. Very lovely!
Definitely, peridot.
It's so hard to pick!! I would love the forest fairie though. They're all so pretty!
It's a hard call, but I think I'd go with Sangria.
ooh they all are amazing colors. i guess if i had to chose for myself it would be a toss up between Amethyst and caicos. i love that haruni pattern as well wow. so pretty. Ve you really can pick them :D
Good luck everyone and have a great week!
Indian summer is so pretty!
I am positively drooling over the cedar colorway. For some reason, this seems to be my "color of the year"
I have been eyeing this yarn at the past several festivals I've been to. It is so gorgeous, I couldn't imagine putting it on my feet! At least, not unless I was putting my feet up and never touching the floor or the inside of a pair of shoes with them. I had a tough time picking a favorite color but Peridot seems to be calling my name.
-aprilshowers
i just love Caicos! Oh, and Lily Pond. And Parrot. How can I choose just one??
sadiekate on ravelry
I want all of them! But if I had to pick one it would be "Hemlock" or "Sangria"
I love Cedar and my 32nd Birthday is Monday! It would be a great Birthday Present. :)
aurora is calling my name.
Morgana reminds me of a crisp fall day! I would love a skein of that!
I love Salt Spray! It's really stunning.
Be still my beating heart! Amethyst is to die for!
I love Aurora. Beautiful.
UltraViolet is the absolute best!! It caught my eye right off its soo vibrant!
Beautiful yarn!
My first choice is peacock, although aurora was right behind, and then ... and then ....
I love the colors in Aurora.
I love the Aurora!!!
How could I choose just one?! They are all gorgeous! I am partial to forest fairie, though! Beautiful work! I love it undyed, too! Angela
have to say that i like all the colorways!
But i love Amethyst, Caicao, Orchid.
I like Cedar or Hemlock. Crossing my fingers!
Oh wow, they're so gorgeous. I love the Peacock, Aurora, Masala, Red Fox, and Indian Summer ones. I'd be hard pressed to pick my top favorite!
It's so hard to choose! But if I had to narrow it down, it would be Peridot. Lily Pond would be a close second.
OH my they are all so beautiful! I would pick Caicos..followed by Amethyst.....
They are all very beautiful, but my favorite is Ocean.
PBnJsFiber at Ravelry
They're all super loverly! However I think the Buttercream is the prettiest. The salt spray is super gorgeous too; it looks like silver!
ilovewool on Rav
Stardust and lily pond are my top two. It's hard to pick between the them.
I like the Masala colorway. patsycoats@bellsouth.net
The colors are all so beautiful, but then again, I'm a sucker for shiny silk! If I had to pick, I'd say (not in order of preference, as I'd like one of each): Aurora, Caicos, Hemlock, Indian Summer, Ocean, Stardust, and Topaz).
I love the caicos color.. and the orchid.. and the ultraviolet.. and.. and.. all of them. I want all of them! And I've had the haruni scarf/shawl thingy favorited on raverly for a few months now. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Red Fox is awesome, I'd love to knit it up!
ceweller@mtu.edu
It's so hard to choose, but the Buttercream looks delicious.
Amethyst is my favorite, but topaz is a close second. I'd love to knit up my first ever pair of socks with either!
Aurora - I seem to have the purple, blue and green phase. That would be my favorite choice. Then again, the colors are all so beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity.
sangria and artichoke are beautiful
This is a difficult choice, but if I could get my hands around a hank of that it would have to be Indian Summer. It almost looks like it would glow in the moonlight.
Hands down Aurora. Then Peacock or Hemlock. They're all so pretty!
this yarn looks divine!! love the boreal colorway
jendada on Ravelry
Ooh, lots are pretty, but I have to go with Teal. Love blue!
The salt spray looks like liquid silver! And not normally a color I would pick but I can't stop looking at it!!!
These are all so beautiful, but since you are making me choose - I would go with Caicos.
It is really some stunning yarn.
Orchid please! I also very much like Indian Summer. Super beautiful!!! (SarahVV on Rav)
Wine, Sangria, and Chocolate... in no particular order... but I thought almost every colorway was appealing... so gorgeous!
Wow! I love the Aurora and Sangria- if I win, you can surprise me!!
masala - and so aptly named!
I love Boreal, but they're all beautiful!
Moss. Definitely. I have a major penchant for Green.... Love love love.
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!
Its really hard to pick...boreal, salt spray, topaz....OK, topaz!
Salt Spray, Star Dust, Morgana and Wine.
monkalicious on Ravelry
i love the amethyst colorway the most.
morgana, indian summer, red fox, buttercream is pretty too! They are sooooo pretty!
It would be hard to choose between ocean and amethyst. Salt spray is also lovely. It's a gorgeous yarn.
Wow, Peacock, I think. Or Amethyst. They're all amazing.
Beautiful yarn! :)
I love the Orchid, and Red Fox, and Salt Spray, and Stardust.....
and...
and...
and... :)
~Rae Lynne
They are all very pretty. My favourite is Forest Faerie.
Thanks!
Buttercream IS my favorite!
Thanks for the giveaway :)
Oh, salt spray is fabulous! What a gorgeous colour that will go with everything. I also love the topaz, moss & wine.
The colorway Caicos is gorgeous.
Months ago I bought colorway peridot. I will knit with it eventually but for the time being it is my touch yarn.
I have to say that Aurora and Hemlock are my two faves, that yarn is so incredibly lucious!!!
I love Orchid!
Gorgeous colors, so hard to choose. Aurora is my favorite. I'm on a blues and greens kick but has my favorite purple/lavender colors too.
amethyst, sangria, stardust, ultraviolet, wine.....
all gorgeous!!
-oonaghfibersmyth on ravelry
I love that indian summer yarn. That colour is amazing. What a great giveaway.
I love the sangria colour
The colors are gorgeous!
Caicos is my favorite.
gorgeous sea sock, and great links! (thanks)

congrats winners!!a
That's a hard choice! I really like Aurora. :)
I love the boreal color. Beautiful!
I think I would have to choose Hemlock, though it's certainly difficult! Thank you both for your generous offer!
bookboxer
Ooops. Typo. Here we go again:
I tried. I tried so hard. But I couldn't pick just one! For socks, Aurora or Peacock. For a shawl, Indian Summer or Masala.
I wish I could find yarns like these where I live...
Great giveaway, thank you!!
LOVE lily pond!
I just love the icy blue of "salt spray"!
The Indian Summer just makes my mouth water!!!

So many beautiful colorways to choose from it was difficult but I love Masala.
oooohhh...Boreal! But they're all quite lovely...hard to pick!
it is SO hard to pick just one...but i LOVE Indian summer...
They are all so lovely! Boreal reminds me of the colors I saw in the night sky the one time I saw the aurora borealis.
my favorite is definately the moss colorway.
k-knits on ravelry
I absolutely love Indian Summer. I was born in October and have always always loved fall colors. Indian Summer is definitely it.
amy@iceboxofpa.com
I love Amathyst. There are so many great things to do with sock yarn for Summer garments.
angie.smith@q.com
Sangria is my favorite! The colors are so great together! Yum!
Forest Fairie would be my first choice, but all of the colors are wonderful!
Oh....there are so many pretty ones! I'd say Ocean, Amethyst and that Red Fox is pretty nice too!
29ways says - Amethyst is my first thought (because I'm a purple phreak), but I also love Forest Fairie and I think Masala might actually be my favorite!
oh i love the peacock color, chocolate is very nice too and salt spray......
What can I say - they are all beautiful...
I think Peacock and Salt Spray are my favorites right this second.
Indian summer would be my choice. But I never win anything. Still can't hurt to try!
for me it'd be the Amethyst, Chocolate and the Auroras.. so so so so so pretty.. the butter cream and forest faries also keep calling to me.... they're all beautiful!
amethyst or amethyst or maybe amethyst (maybe I will be able to spell it now without looking) I love red fox too because it is so much like amethyst(ha, snuck another one in) C:
thanks for letting me play
Forest Fairie is not only a beautiful color, but such an interesting name. . . I would love to see some in person!
This is definitely one of the HM yarn bases I'd love to try! I think I'd pick Sangria, but oh so hard to choose.
I dream of topaz. What lovely yarns!
oh I would have to say Boreal. This is not a typical colour for me, but it looks so yummy.
thanks
It's hard to make a choice - all the colours look great. But my favourite is Boreal.
Ocean! What a beautiful color!
I'm loving all of them, but I'd have to say my favorite is Indian Summer.
But Chocolate, Stardust, Aurora, and Boreal come in close seconds. I really think it would depend on my mood.
I love Forest Fairie!!
I really like cedar..Artichoke is another fave.
Thank you for the beautiful give away. It is hard to choose a favorite color, but if I had to it would be masala. So pretty!
it looks amazing. my favorite colour is salt spray b2 closely followed by peridot.
so excited i found your blog! love the haruni pattern too...(was a closet stalker of it)
Gorgeous - caicos is my favorite!
I love the Caicos. The bluey green tones make me feel like I'm in Vancouver, on the west coast of Canada, oceans and forests. Just beautiful!
The Amethyst is stunning, and I love the forest fairie. But to pick only one, it would have to be the Caicos.
anything by handmaiden is divine,
my favs are peacock and amethyst!
Oh please please Forest fairy or Caicos!
by far both are my to die for faves!!
EvilSquirrel on Rav!
mmm... so many pretty choices. Buit I think Ocean it is for me
Forest Fairie is superb! I won a skein of the Masala colorway a while back but haven't found the right project for it yet. Their stuff is awesome!
All of the yarn colors are beautiful! I think that the chocolate is my favorite. It's almost bronze and so rich!
You're amazing for doing this! My favorite would have to be either Hemlock or Orchid. Good Luck to all!
Oh, my gosh! What to choose? What to choose? Well, my final answer is-
Hemlock. Looks like it came from the sea.
Oooh, Morgana is awesome. I also like forest fairie and hemlock. Wonderful colors!!!!
I love this yarn...its makes wonderful shawls...artichoke and orchid are the bomb
I think it would be easier to tell you which colors I don't love! Wow! Trying to control myself, I will list my top four at this moment: Aurora, Boreal, Topaz, Salt Spray... I could easily go on (forest fairie, chocolate, peridot, cedar, moss, amethyst... etc). Really beautiful.
I love hemlock. I have yet to use this yarn but it's on my bucket list :-)
i love hemlock. I have yet to try out swissmountain sock. it's on my list this year :-)
This yarn is beautiful....very hard to pick a favorite! I like masala, followed by buttercream and chocolate. So pretty.
Lori
I love the salt spray colorway. Thanks for the chance to win.
I've always wanted to try this yarn brand!! Thank you for this spectacular giveaway :)
It's so hard to choose only two. I LOVE the colors: Orchid, Salt Spray b2, and Topaz.
Thanks again veronika!
~Eliana~
What a gorgeous yarn! My choices are Peridot, Topaz, Chocolate, and Salt Spray :)
artichoke! So pretty.
Ooh, that buttercream is luscious! But I'm also drawn to masala, artichoke, morgana, ocean.... :)
I'm absolutely in love with Salt Spray. It's got such a gorgeous name and has the same perfect colours of the sea. :)
I would love to win Amethyst as this is my favorite. It was really hard to decide but the way the colors blended on this colorway just tugged at my being. :)
I'm in love with Salt Spray. Terrific blog and exciting giveaway! will be adding to my rss!
Either Cedar or Orchid. Both are amazingly beautiful :-)
Indian Summer is breathtaking! A very close second was Masala... lovely! I can almost imagine the feel of it with those lovely pictures!
it is really hard to pick just one, but I will go with Stardust. I also really love chocolate, ocean, peridot, salt spray....
I want to work with all the colors, but my first pick would be Aurora.
ohhh....I like the moss green....Amanda
I love amethyst, but buttercream makes my heart flutter too!
What color would I not like to win! OK, if I have to pick one, I pick Indian Summer. What gorgeous, gorgeous yarn.
Aurora please!!
Indian summer is so perfect in so many ways ! The yarn speaks the name and speaks to my heart :)
I would LOVE to win a skein of the Chocolate. That colorway is so rich and beautiful!
Stardust would make a beautiful neutral sock, and I don't often knit neutrals! BUT, Sangria is rocking!!! So many beautiful colors to choose from!
The sangria looks delicious!
Forest Fairie!
I REALLLLLLLLLLLLY like orchid. (among others)
