Katie, a dyer at Yarn Love & kikine78
Please contact me at yarnonthehouse@gmail.com to claim your prizes.
The yarn for this week's giveaway is sooooooo beautiful! I'm really excited to introduce you to Sharon the Creative Director and Owner of Three Irish Girls.
A couple of months ago, I asked everyone who they would like to see on the blog and Three Irish Girls was the most requested. I am not surprised that you asked for this yarn! It is absolutely gorgeous! I had the opportunity and pleasure to interview the charming and talented Sharon herself... take a look and listen.
Links and such from the videos:
- Three Irish Girls
- The yarn clubs that Sharon offers.
- To drool over colorways...
- Yarn bases available.
- Totally Custom Colorway (which I think is just the neatest thing ever!)
- The Yarnista blog
- This is the blog post where you can see the studio floor with all of its lovely colors. I'm guessing that Sharon's arms and legs may look something like that during the summer time!
- Just a little side note: the yarn shown in the videos is a little different than the actual giveaway yarn. Sharon ended up sending us a yummy Cashmerino blend instead. See the pics below...
Thank you Sharon and the Three Irish Girls team for sponsoring this week's giveaway! It was an absolute treat to chat with you, and we hope you come back to visit us soon.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 387 of 387Eisbeth!! Eisbeth!! I love Eisbeth!!
Isn't there an option for "All of the Above"??
After much deliberation, I pick Brady for my first choice. Niall is lovely too.
I agree with other posters here, it's hard to pick just one, but #1 is Duncan, #2 is Liam and #3 Skye are my 3 favorites!
Gorgeous. Love them all, especially Brennan.
Both Erin and Aiden are amazing! All of the colors are drool-worthy, though! (:
Which ONE is my favorite? Really?? I love them all! Tierney is really pretty, and I like Maureen a lot, and KATE!! (I'm Kate, it's Kate, we're meant to be) And Grady, Emer, Carrick, aaaaaaaaaaand...Alice. Oh, and....
I'm just going to say that Kate is my favorite, but I really love every single color she offers!
I love the wow of Kirsty! It is beautiful!
My favorite is Maeve. Beautiful yarn!
i love all of sharon's colorways. kelly, kate, maura, jack, liam.... i could go on! as beautiful as her colorways are, though, i am even more drawn to her semisolids. they are so subtle and gorgeous! right now, i am knitting a cardigan for my two-year old in gatsby, june's semisolid club selection. it is a perfect match for her blue-gray eyes.
Georgia Peach!
i just fell in love with the IRISH SEA... gorgeous...
It is very difficult to choose just one but I think Iris Sea is just beautiful. Thanks for the wonderful interview with Sharon.
I *love* Cameron. It is beautiful. (I also <3 Kate and Seamus... sheesh... actually I just love them all.)
Well that was a hard choice! So many beautiful colors. I love Elsbeth, Maeve and Roisin.
Wow! This is a difficult choice, to only pick one!
If I can only pick one, I'll pick Rhiannon.
Thanks for these great contests!
ack! i like them all! I like nora, gwendolyn, tara, and curran.
Meg on Wexford is my absolute favorite!
All the ones I have ;-) and all the ones I'll buy ;-D!! I often fall for the flashy, colorful yarns but Sharons more subtle color combinations are also soooo lovely, Elsbeth is a favorite!
Oh, so hard! At the moment I'm knitting up Georgia Peach, but Maeve is calling me to knit her into mittens. I love the skeins just as they arrive in the post, wound up into twisty things and looking just so beautiful that I almost don't want to knit them into anything at all, just sit them on my lap like a cat and stroke them!
I like Irish Seas, but I would have to get Cathleen. My mother's name was Kathleen.
I like Ciara! Duncan was a pretty choice, too.
Thanks for a chance!

Being a murphy i stumbled on their blog a while back and had to follow! I lvoe the colorway Donegan, reminds me of the beach, and you can never have too much beach!
My favorite of Sharon's colorways that I have used is club colorway Northwoods. The favorite in my stash yet to be used is Alchemy. The one that I have on order that I am looking most forward to is Jack. Sorry I am indecisive and all her colors are gorgeous.
They are all gorgeous, but I have always loved beautiful Nora best of all!
I love maeve. What a fabulous interview! :)
Usually I am drawn to darker colors, but I am in love with Tierney.
What amazing colors!!! I think I like Nora as one of the best.
What gorgeous yarn! Right now I'm working on some charity stuff for kids and feel inspired by colors, so I'd have to pick Kate. Tough decision though!
I love " Jack". The colors are fantastic together and it was my Dad's name. Now my sister and I have a pair of socks each that keep us warm and cuddly like he did!
I really like Maura, too!
Love me some "adara" and "cole" - YUM!!!
I love hipster!! I want some!
I think Rhiannon, O'Neal, Maura, and Devin are my favorites. They're all stunning though!
Elsbeth but man I want them all. Aidan is amazing as well.
The yarns are gorgeous. Dolan is a standout for its vibrant spring green. I love the swirly and moody Irish Sea. Nolan reminds me of a Van Gogh painting. I just want to knit with all of them!
Hi! These yarns are gorgeous and I adore the Alchemy one you have for the giveaway. On their website colorways, I think Irish Sea is my favorite closely followed by the Byrne.
Kate, but had a hard time to pick just one...they're all so pretty. Thank you for the chance to win!
I am really drawn to Elsbeth. They are beautiful.
My favorite colorways are Donegan, Aiden, Meg, and Tara....it is so hard to pick just one!
Conner has to be ma fav. Great colorways!
-Katttatter@yahoo.com
I love them all but for now, I will choose Rhiannon.
I love Maeve as well, love the photo too! It's actually the colours of my shop!
Yarn is such a lovely thing, and your colourways are always inspiring.
There are so many beautiful colors! If I have to pick just one though, I'd say its "Irish Sea".
I love Irish Sea the best, but it's really hard to pick!
-ccknits
My favorite - I can't choose just one!!! Right now, I am knitting with Ciara and coordinating Purple, and it is so beautiful, I never would have thought I liked it this much!
I really love my "Blue Awesomeness", though, which is a custom coordinating solid that goes with my Maple Vanilla gradiant set, which I also love :)
Today, at this moment, I choose Carrick, but there are so many beautiful colorways, I would dither forever if I took lots of time at it!! How lovely!
Oh, tough choice! I adore Roisin and Irish Sea!
So many yarns, so little time......Cameron is gorgeous, but then they all are.
I've always been in love with Fitzgerald and in fact have some of that colorway left from a pair of longies I made awhile back!
I can't choose between Aiden and Carson, they are all so beautiful!
Hard to choose!! Honestly,I love so many of them!! My favorite,for now,is Morgaine!
pick ONE?
i love Tierney for any of my boys
but for me? Clare
I love the Fitzgerald ( our last name), the Liam, (my son's name), and the Kate (my daughter's name). I'm also still drooling over many others she no longer makes.
Roisin always gets me. I love, love, love it.
They are all lovely. Irish Seas is a favorite.

My favorite 3IG colorway is actually not a standard catalog color, but an old club colorway called Lewis. Its a peachypink color that makes me happy every time I see it.
I LOooooooooove Sharon's yarns!!! Irish sea and Elsbeth are speaking to me at the moment - I have a sweater's worth of Colleen on Glenhaven Cashmerino - just too drool worthy!! I also love the newer solids she featured a while back on her blog - as much as I love the variegated, as a sweater knitter the semi solids seem to fit the bill better most times. But they are all fantastic!!
Wow, what a great giveaway!
I went on over to check out the other colorways and could have stopped at Aiden, with it's beautiful combo of green and turquoise! Of course I didn't, and I'm just as stunned by Irish Sea and Rhiannon. Yes, I have a green thing.
Liam.
Just found your blog through twitter and am totally impressed. I love 3 Irish Girls and all the colors are great but right now I really like Meg. Just fun springy colors.
Their colorways are so unique. Love them all.
Hard to choose just one! But I think I love Clodagh the best.
My favorite colorways are Grady and Cameron. So beautiful!
My favorite is still the very same yarn that drew me to Three Irish Girls in the first place, Irish Sea!
Easy... waterlillies!! <3
First of all, I love the names of the yarns!
Secondly, the colorway that truly caught my eye was Fitzgerald. The colors are gorgeous!
I pick them all! Well, if I have to choose one, it would be Gwendolyn.
Chelsey B.
i think it is a tossup between ciara and adara, nice and bright!
I am currently knitting a sweater in Cian, yarn purchased as it sported the name of my now-ex Irish goblin boyfriend. Now I wish I'd bought Kieran, my favourite, instead!!!
I love the blues and greens in "Connor"!!
There are so many beautiful colorways but out of them "Nolan" is my absolute favorite because my youngest sons name is Nolan. I stumbled upon TIG because someone over on Hyena Cart was offering a custom made pair of pants with this colorway the first winter he was with us. He is now almost 3 (bday is in Aug) and since then he has a pair of "Nolan" longies made every winter.
They're all so gorgeous! I think my favorite is Quinn, it's so bright and pretty.
Oh gosh... I have to choose one? Aiden is one of my faves!
What beautiful colors! I would have to chose between Adara or Aiden.
How to pick just one?!?! I'm drawn to "Irish Sea" for one but, really, so many lovely colors.
My favorites are Maura and the custom Pansy colorway for the Yarn Spot in Wheaton, MD.
There are so many beautiful colorways. I think the favorite would have to be Adara.
They are all so lovely it's hard to choose, but my 3 faves are Aiden, Kirsty and Florry. (shiggins on ravelry).
I vote for Clare. thanks for the giveaway.
I would have to go with Roisin.
Irish Sea is absolutely gorgeous! The yarn clubs are looking rather interesting also! ;)
k-knits on ravelry
I absolutely adore Colleen, Clare and Jack. Sharon's creations need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. There may be some colors you may not be sure about on a computer screen, but they come to life when seen and felt loudly proclaiming: "knit me"!
I like them all, but today I'm really loving Roisin!
Cian and Roisin are my initial favorites, but most of the colours are ones I'd love to work with.
I love Duncan!
I'd vote for Clare, but it is a tough, tough, choice.
Yup, Maura's my fave too. Along with Kieran.
I love Irish Sea, but it was super hard to decide!
I love Adara.
These yarns are absolutely mesmerizing. I love Niall the best because I just adore that blue!
What a great giveaway and how hard to choose one favorite! I really liked Meg. Gorgeous colors!
Being an indecisive person, I'd say Roisin, Isolde or Alana which are all incredibly rich shades!
I love Shannon and Clare. It's so hard to pick just one (or two)!
Beautiful, beautiful Alchemy. This has all my favorite colors.
greyowl (rav id)
Nora is my absolute favorite!
I love Liam and Nora, but jeepers, they are all so pretty!!
My favorite is Florry. It reminds me of my great auntie's hard candy dish.
My favorite is Liam. I think it's very lovely and it is also my son's name.
I tend to love the softer hues although I'm a big fan of Grady. Mostly because Grady's a little guy who was born way too early but has overcome many challenges in his young life and these colors remind me of him. My first thought when I saw the yarn was...ooohhh, that would make a great sweater for Grady.:-)
I love Nora, Kate, Adara and Irish Sea.
I'm completely torn between Byrne and Fitzgerald, though it's hard to choose even just two!
Just one? It's gotta be Kate. It's such a vibrant color- and let's face it I'm a NYer, we wear black and dark colors all the time, scarves are the only time I get to "do" colors!
It's got to be Kate for me. I love the vibrant colors!
Quinn, is my favaorite right now. Its on my list if the baby I'm pregnant with is a girl. Nolan is probably my favorite boyish colorway.
Love them all of course! I am absolutely in love with Kate, Nora and Skye, though. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!!!
These colors are so lovely. They are all so beautiful. I especially like "Elspeth" and "Maura." I think they beat "Meg" by a twist!
Right now, my favorite is Emer...I think it's because I'm dreaming of winter.
Oh it's too hard to pick just one! I love Adara, Colleen & Niall.
It's hard to pick but I think my fave it Donegan. Or Elsbeth, or Maura, or... =) You get my problem.
I love them all, but I especially love Carson for a boy. A fun colorway, with vibrant colors. Perfect for my son's hat!
I've knitted with their beautiful yarn and love the Cole colorway.
I've used their wonderful yarn and love the colorway Cole.
So hard to choose, but I'll go with Devin and those gorgeous greens
irish girl is for me~ crossing fingers~
I love SKYE! The shades of blue and lavender with the warm kisses of orange stir happy feelings. It reminds me of the summer Seattle sunset where my hubby proposed :) Sharon's colors evoke real emotions. What a lovely thing to knit with for someone you love!
I LOVE Shannon and Siobhan, two of my all time favorite colors!
"kate" is my favorite. i have long loved 3IG and am SO sad that we can't afford for me to be part of their sock yarnista club anymore!
choosing a favorite color is always very difficult for me because i never want to hurt the feelings of the other colors. megan is certainly lovely, but then again, so are siobhan and gwendoline and alana and barrett, and others for which i do not have the space to mention.
I can't pick just one! Among my favorites are Kate, Kirsty and Isolde. :)
They are all beautiful and it is too hard to pick one. I love Maeve, Kieran and Skye. I found your yarn at the sock summit last year and love it.
My favorite is Meg, but I just finished a baby blanket in suzu and it is lovely too..Sharons yarns are a joy to work with..
So tough to choose just one, but since I'm a water type, I'd definitely have to go with Eire!
So hard to pick just one favorite. For today it would be Maura. Love it.
I "adora" adera." Beautiful, beautiful colors!
:sigh: There are so many beautiful colors to choose from. For now, I choose Aiden. Tomorrow, another will be my favorite. Absolutely beautiful!
Ooooo so many pretty colors! I like Maura too. I love Devin - reminds me of my daughter. And I like O'Neal too
jendada on Ravelry
Gorgeous names as well as colours. I love Meg and Gwendolyn best I think.
I like 'Curran' but it's really hard to make a choice.
My favorite color from 3IG changes quite often as there are so many that I like. This morning, my favorite is Cian. :D
I love them all, but I'm thinking Hipster is my new favorite!
My favorite was a club color, Petit Fours. I also really love Murphy.
Oooh pretty. I like Nora.
jenniem on Rav
Hi. =) I'd love to be added into the drawing for that beautiful yarn!
I prefer Hipster due to its soft tones and the fact that I am learning to make socks and could really use such wonderful yarn to encourage me, but I also love cashmerino..So frankly I would take either! You decide for me if I'm lucky enough to win.
Thank you for having such a great giveaway,
Sheri
unhallowedashes@comcast.net
I love many. One is Clodagh.
It so difficult to choose because they are all so beautiful, but Irish Sea is probably my favourite at this moment!
I is so difficult to choose! Every single colourway is beautiful, but at this moment both Irish Sea and Maeve are probably my most favourite!
a favorite 3IG yarn? just one? impossible. I do love clare. And kate. And arboretum, and murphy. And northwoods. And Alice is very sweet.
So pretty! Dolan and Elsbeth are now on my wish list! Thank you.
I'm in love with aiden... so beautiful!
What a tough decision! Though I do love Gwendolyn quite a bit!
I love 'Isolde', so lovely!
Wow they are beautiful...I think I'm in love with all the colours!I love purple and there are lots to choose from! I love Isolde and Colleen and Mauva,and Gwendolyn and oh if I had a million dollars!
Tough choice, but I'd have to say my favorite color is Quinn. I'm a sucker for bright, rainbow-colored variegated yarn!
Of the colors shown, O'Neal is summery and evocative. However my favorites aren't on the page: Georgia Peach, Father Time, Estuary, Pansy.
My favorite has to be from one of her yarn clubs. It's called Greener Pastures.
Roisin is my favorite. Also like Isolde and Niall. The Alchemy is beautiful.
Adara, Duncan, Connor, Grady, and let's not forget her one of a kind Orchid which was available only on her blog for a short time. But really, I'd knit any of her yarn, anytime.
I hope its not too late to enter. I'd love to win Elesbeth and campbell colorways. So beautiful!
Thanks for the chance :)
~ Eliana ~
Fiona, cause 1. it is an awesome name, 2. Pink and Orange are 2 of my favorite colors!
I love Elsbeth :)
I think I'd have to choose Nora, but really, how can you choose just one?! Thanks to both of you for your generosity!
bookboxer @ ravelry
My favorite changes all the time, but is currently Roisin. They are all so lovely.
All the colors are beautiful but I think my favorite is Rory!
The alchemy colorway is fantastic
Fiona - a friend just had a baby and named her Fiona. I'm just looking for the perfect project to knit her something in this colorway!
I love Aiden and Irish Sea but it took a while to narrow it down to those two!
My favorite colors are Rhiannon and Barrett. Just yummy! Thanks for the interview with my favorite dyer. :)
My favorite is Adara closely followed by Rory.
I'm drooling over the Erin or Curran... and ANY of the others... they are all so beautiful!
My favorite is totally Elsbeth. Doesn't hurt that my name is Elizabeth, but the pinks and browns are perfect!
Irish Sea has been my favorite as of late. I'd love to be able to bring her home but due to financial circumstances I've had to keep my crush to myself. I hope so day to bring her home!
All the colorways are beautiful, but I was totally drawn in by Kieran. That would be my favorite.
I can't believe there have been so many comments! I'm still a huge fan of Seacoast, nothing has yet beaten that one for me!
They are so beautiful!!!!! I love them all!!!
Byrne is beautiful!
-Gaelic4Us@att.net
Tierney is my fav!!!!
-Katttatter@yahoo.com
I have to just pick one??? My favorite has to be a three way tie between Kate, Fitzgerald, and Aiden. I just love, LOVE the color combinations of those colorways.
As others have said, picking a favorite is nearly impossible. But I'm going to pick Kirsty. Just love it.
I love Liam and Ciara because they're my kids' names. I also really love Aidan and Irish Sea. Oh yeah, and everything else with green in it.
I think all of the colors are GORGEOUS but the three that I love are Campbell because it reminds me of sea shells, Carrick, the colors of sea glass and Dolan the color of spring as nature starts to bloom again.
Curran is gorgeous!
I love Irish Sea, but they are all beautiful!
I love 'Fiona's saturated tones
POSTING FOR THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. Thank you everyone for posting! -Ve
Not only is it my best friend's name, but it's my favorite colorway - I'll go with "Kate" :-)
Today, my favorite is Maeve (but in reality, I have several favorites ... big surprise!).
It's hard to choose just one color. They are all so beautiful! I really love Colleen and Irish Sea.
This was a great interview, Ve!
I love the Three Irish Girls! I have some yarn in the color Georgia Peach...oh so lovely.
If I had to pick one, it would be Irish Sea. Sooo Nice!
So hard to pick just one... My favorite is Aiden, folowed by Kieran, Erin, Liam and Flynn.
Wow! These colorways are beautiful. I like Kelly, for completely selfish reasons. . . because really, how often does one find a yarn with one's name on it? :) Clan is an amazing, rich goldenrod. Breathtaking!
I think it would be hard to choose one! So, here are my favs. . . Megan, Murphy, Aidan!
The 3 Irish Girls rule! Their colors are amazing...soft or saturated, light to dark, always so unexpected and lovely.
This is like choosing your favorite child, I love them all. But if I must, I like Rona. Pinky/red, red/pink is a favorite around here, lots of girls.
