1 – 200 of 260 Newer› Newest»Sugared grapefruits looks like it would be a fun color.
Oh, I can only choose one? Summer Sangria is gorgeous, but I could pick out about 10 more!
That tranquil waters color is gorgeous, but they all look fantastic.
I like Harmonic Violet. sharonfs@comcast.net
bouquet and apple butter immediately caught my eye.
I love the Belgian Chocolat colour.

I absolutely adore Haute Couture. I ordered some sock yarn from her this weekend :D
There's no way I can choose just one... Four way tie between Banana Split, Earl Gray, Nostalgia and Sleeping Beauty.
They're all SOOO beautiful!
What don't I love? I really like the Stargazing. They're all so beautiful!
Oh my...so hard to choose, but the Earl Grey is amazing!
I was scrolling through the colorways thinking how hard it would be to choose one, but then... there it was. Marigold screams to be mine. I can has?
Seriously, though - gorgeous colorways all around.
I may actually be in love with the Pumpkin colorway!
I am in love with all of them--so vibrant! But Tuscany is my favorite.
I love the Earl Grey and the Sunshower colorways, but if I have to pick just one I'd go with Earl Grey. Soooo delightful!
I love Delicate Aquamarine, Marigold and Belle - they are great!
They're all so lovely! I think it's a tie between Apple Butter (which I have been making a lot of recently) and Stormlit Poppy. So vibrant!
All the colors are gorgeous but my favorite is Nostalgia.
(I'm a Juliet too!)
All of those colors are awesome, but Gala is my favorite.
Just one? Tranquil Waters... though harmonic violet sure caught my eye. Thanks!
Went to the website. Stopped counting favourites at 9! Daughter #1 was a bit more decisive - her favourite is Sunny Skies.
Wow - they are all beautiful, but that mini skein of Warmth really captured my imagination. Thanks for the giveaway!
Ooh, it's a tough call but Gala is gorgeous!
All of them are very very nice. Very difficult to choose just one :).
Armour :)
The first one that jumped out at me was Earl Grey because it looks so warm and elegant. But there's so many more... beautiful!
Man, you send me oohh'ing and arhhh'ing here - I would gladly knit up something in each and every colourway. And I would start with either Bouquet og Apple Butter.
Wow...picking one is difficult. For the sake of brevity, let's say Lagoon.
I'm all about oceans and blues these days, so I have to say 'Into the deep', 'tranquil waters', 'Blueberry festival' or.. or.. hmmm... there are tons of blues to choose from.
That's not a fair question! I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful selection of colors. I'll say that I like November Sunday best, since I'm enjoying this last day of November so much. :-)
Only one I like almost all of them. Earl Grey is talking to me this morning though :o)
I kept changing my mind because they are all beautiful, but I think my favorite might be Bayfield Apple.
I was going to say "Bouquet", but on second thought, Earl Grey is even better.
I can't pick just one!!
Either Bouquet or Tuscany, but like many others I could pick about 10 more!!!
tranquil waters and mr. wonderful, for sure! :)
Well Earl Grey is one of my favourite teas so that one is definitely a contender and I love the colours of Fling. But if I can only choose one it will have to be Forget Me Not. I seem to have a thing for blue these days :)
But they are all so lovely.
there are soo many to choose from! but i really do like "forget me not" and "blueberry festival".
I love the plum cake, but I could easily love all the rest, too!
Wonderful colors and great names! They are all too pretty, but if I had to choose one right now it would be Into The Deep.
I like all of them if I had to pick it would be tranquil waters
How can I choose just one?! Loving Haute Couture the most though maybe.
ANY of the colorways would be a treat, but Gala really caught my eye!
so pretty! blackberry jam, blueberry festival... yum! Thanks for the chance to win!
Choose only one??? It was quite a mission...I choose Belle.
oooohh I love Dryad!
Big fan of Turtle Cheesecake but am loving Earl Grey from the new colorways.
celestial rose and banana split for me.
Mmm, I'm loving Apple Butter or Violet Vale.
I like New Gala, with apple butter a close second!
Thanks for a chance!

I love that Haute Couture, but also Nirvana and Tutu. :)
Jess
I have several Yarn Love skeins, but I think my favorite colorway is Warm Tulips. Love her yarn!
I have to give Pumpkin my vote. I adore anything fall colored or related.
apple butter and whisper
I have 4 that I absolutly can't get over.
1) Apple butter the colors are just so right. 2) Lagoon (what can I say its my favorite color) 3) Stargazing HOLY CRAP just beautiful 4) Jewels of Autumn.
Hope you had a great turkey day :D
Oh man sooo many to choose from. Sock Star, Tulip, Toffee, the list goes on and on!!
Wow! Those have to be some of the most beautiful colors I've ever seen! My favorite is Daffodil Buttercream, but Banana Split is a very close second!
The Tranquil waters is so beautiful it makes my palms itch! I want to take it home!
WOW! So hard to decide but I do think Fig Tart would knit up interestingly.
That very first color when I clicked over...apple butter! I love to make and eat apple butter, too, so maybe that's why I'm a little partial!
The tranquil waters is gorgeous! I'd love to add any of them to my stash.
I like Marigold and Banana Split - actually I like a bunch of them!
It really is hard to pick just one, but I have to say Apple Butter.
Oooh, i loved sugared grapefruits. I have used her yarns in the past and i extol their virtues. They are amazing! This would be an awesome score!
I like the tranquil water/
WOW talk about sock yarn heaven!! I couldnt just pick 1 favorite sooooo my favorites are..... Ear Grey, Gala, Lagoon, Sock Star, Sun Shower, and Tulip!! I just wanna touch them!!
Beautiful yarns!! I love their colorways...favorites would have to be early crocus (it really does look like the colors of crocuses!!), tranquil waters, and jewels of autumn. Gorgeous!!
I love Nirvana. Oooo or peacock!
Cottage Garden - I am ready for spring already.
I love them all, but if I had to pick just one, it would be the variegated so I would get to see them all! Also love the Tranquil waters but like I said at first, all are beautiful because I just love hand-dyed!
There are quite a few that caught my eye.. but the colors in Early Crocus are outrageous. Lovely.
I just can't choose. They're all gorgeous. Each time I think I've found one I scroll down and there's another that I love just as much. Even colors I don't usually love look absolutely scrumptious here!
I think the one that sticks in my head the most is Stormlit Poppy.
I'm a sucker for blue and greens so Nirvana is BLISS! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
It is so hard to choose just one. I would love to see how Apple Butter knits up. I also like Violet Vale and Blackberry Jam.
Wow! What fab colors. Just picking one is almost impossible but I reaaly love Violet Vale... and most of the others lol.

I love the sugared grapefruit but all the colors are lovely
I'm sweating over the new Earl Grey color! Holy Cow is that gorgeous!!! I may just have to go ahead and splurge....
I'm PurlVerde on Ravelry, thanks for this most awesome giveaway!
into the deep looks very rich and mysterious
Very pretty. I think I like the sunshowers.
Oh I love so many but the Stormlit Poppy really caught my eye.
msgb245 at gmail dot com
I'm really digging Cupid. So many pretty colors!
I love the blues and greens in the Nirvana colorway.
Oh...there are so many good ones! I think Mist is beautiful. Aren't you glad the snow finally left? I live in Snohomish not too far from you and I was so happy it left in time for my family to come over for Thanksgiving.
It's hard to choose just one fav colorway. So i have a top 4
Earl Grey
Lagoon
Ancient Forest
Tulip
The colors are vibrant and lovely. :-)
Oh are her yarn colors scrumptious! I loooove the "Haute Couture" but a close second is "Enchanted." :-)
judi7597(at)bellsouth(dot)net
I'm very fond of "fondly". ;-) Although that sugared grapefruit is lovely!
I like pumpkin best
Well, thanks for introducing me to another yarn dyer. The sugared grapefruit you have in your post looks divine. I also love Celestial Rose and Raspberry Sherbet... can you tell I like pink?
mhchong@aol.com
It is so hard to pick only one! I love sock yarn and those colorways are all so perfect! Seriously... I want all of them. If someone absolutely forced me to pick a favorite though I think I would choose Violet Vale. There are so many beautiful ones though and part of me would want to try one that would normally not be like me at all like Joy or Tutu.
I love them all I can't pick just one. They are so beautiful I feel as though I could just eat them up.
I love the Haute Couture. It's not in my usual colour range, but I saw it & I wanted it.
gotta love the sugared grapefruits... they look like a festive bowl of ribbon candy all together!
Nirvana is without a doubt. I think you could loose yourself in those wonderful colours
Mermaid looks like it would be fun to play with, so many of those colors are gorgeous.
I really like Bouquet adn Early Crocus. Gorgeous!
Definitely Haute Couture!
Many beauties here but I'd have to say my favorite is Stargazing.
Unbelievable! They are beautiful. I love them all, but APPLE BUTTER would be great for Christmas! Thank you.
My favorite colorway is Sunshower. It looks like sun-shiny skies and dandelions.
Love love love Tutu! But why do I have to pick one!
I love so many of YL's colors! I own Turtle Cheesecake, and Maiden and would love to try Plum Cake (and a whole bunch more!) They all sound so yummy!
O my goodness! It's SO hard to chose, so many beautiful colors! I guess my top 2 are...Early Crocus, because I just love when the crocus' start popping up when everything is still dead and nasty outside. And Violet Vale, because it reminds me of one of my all time favorite books, Anne of Green Gables.
She has a whole bunch of lovely colorways, but I'd have to go with Earl Grey - combining my love of tea with yarn!
It is so hard choosing favorites when it comes to Yarn Love. Right now I'm gonna say Earl Grey, Ancient Forest, and Fig Tart!
Frosted Mulberry! It's delectable.
I am usually an earthtone kind of girl but the grapefruit color makes me smile.
oooh...Ancient Forest and Into the Deep are amazing...what beautiful choices!
The majority of yarn in my stash is either blue or purple, so I was going to try really hard to pick something that isn't one of those two colors. It didn't work, because I saw Velvet Midnight and actually gasped it's so pretty. More blue it is!
Wow! I'm definitely going to have to look for this yarn. I love Earl Gray (and more)!
This was a hard one, there are so many gorgeous colors! I'm going to have to say Early Crocus.
Good grief! This is a hard one, for sure -- I looked at all of them, picked out 6 or 8, had to narrow it down. I'm going to pick "Nirvana", which is just gorgeousness incarnate. But there are really several others "almost" as lovely.
It was Garden View, then Cucumber, then I think I finally settled on Sunshower. But seriously, I agree with everyone who says that they are ALL beautiful! Thank you!
RED DELICIOUS! Or Tranquil Waters! Or Warmth! Or...or...I haven't met a YL color I didn't crave!
I love the Nirvana colorway. The colors are gorgeous.
How can you expect me to pick just one?!!!!! There are so many lovely colours to choose from. I do like Cottage Garden a lot!
Oh my gosh! A new spot for yarn! I love apple butter, warmth, tulip, fling, enchanted, courtly. Can I just have it all!!! Pretty please :)
apple butter, banana spilt, whisper, etc, etc, etc.....so many pretties!!
jendada on ravelry
I love apple butter!
kwalsh717@gmail.com
Awakening Earth absolutely took my breath away!
kristinfitzgerald on Rav
I love the Haute Couture.
I'm partial to Earl Grey and Sugared Grapefruit. So pretty. (gidgettm on ravelry)
So hard to pick just one! I've always loved Sock Star. But I am really intrigued by Tutu.
aprilshowers @ Ravelry
I have been eyeing that sugared grapefruit for a while.
Ack - I can't believe it, I just scrolled through the comments and discovered that I chose the same as my sister - Belle!!
It's hard to pick, but I think I like Early Crocus the best.
I like Jewels of Autumn colorway!
sophia.komninou at gmail.com
Ooooooh... The colors are beautiful! I like Belle the most (I think! :))
I love Early Crocus!
I like Marigold!
I like all of them too. If I had to pick, I'd choose Armour.
All of these colors are lovely! My favorite is summer sangria though :)
I'm a blue person so Into the Deep
They are all gorgeous, but today, Nirvana is my favorite!
Great colors! II choose Forget Me Not and Into the Deep.
They're all gorgeous! I really like the Belgian Chocolat color.
(strawberry42@gmail.com)
I really love them all. I think I like Apple Butter the best. I've been on a burgundy/gold/green thing lately.
I like Tranquil Waters.
knittoday(at)hotmail(dot)com
Seriously? How can you ask me to pick JUST ONE? They are all so beautiful, but since I love blueberries, I have to pick the blueberry colorway. I hope I win!
OMG! OMG! I absolutely love her colorways. I go and drool all the time, but have not actually bought any...I can never make up my mind.
I would love some Elizabeth Bennet (cuz who wouldn't) in Apple Butter, or Blackberry Jam or Ancient Forest or Stargazing. I just lurves them!
I like the Banana Split, but for socks Fling and Fairy Tale look pretty fun!
I love a lot of the colorways, but I really love Gala.
Beautiful colors! I think that I would go with Garden View.
midwifemom on Ravelry
Definitely Juliet in Haute Couture--so pink!
Be still my heart for Bouquet! So gorgeous!
Bouquet! Definitely!
Would it be terrible to say that I love nearly ALL of them?? ::swoon::
They are all lovely but the Sugared Grapefruit is speaking to me.
Wow, there are so many colourways. I love Tranquil Waters, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for being the runner-up :)
i can't choose between Bouquet and Early Crocus, they're both completely gorgeous.
There are so many to choose from! My favorites are Early Crocus and Plum Cake.
i love all their colors! i'm always sad when a shop is out of the colorway i want. i would love to win one of these prizes!
I think Pumpkin's my fav. Maybe too much Thanksgiving, eh?
I've coveted Bayfield Apple for quite some time.
I also LOVE nostalgia.
Juliet in Tranquil Waters. Definitely.
Chocolate Mousse. Yum!
Ooooh! I lurves me some Yarn Love.
I have one skein of Mermaid which is gorgeous.
Of the colors on the website, I love so many! If I had to choose today, I'd probably pick Nirvana or Lagoon. But Baroque and Courtly always entice me, too.
I love the sugared grapefruit! (I guess I hope I am the second runner-up, then.)
They are all beautiful.
Very pretty and hard to choose one favorite. I'd really like to knit with the Earl Grey. Summer Sangria looks delicious too!
Like everyone, I love them all! But that sugared grapefruit looks like it could be amazing!
Seriously?!?!? Which ONE? It would be easier to name the ones that are not my colors! OK, I pick Robin Hood for this moment in time.
Stormlit Poppy looks cool
mmmm - Summer Sangria - so pretty.
#2 is Earl Grey.
Ummm one?
Of the newer ones I probably love stargazing the most...quickly followed by dryad, early crocus...ancient forest, mermaid...
It's too hard to choose just one! :)
Oh my - my credit card is going to take a hit after seeing that website.
But doesn't "Juliet in Tranquil Waters" sound like a wonderful song title or painting? I'd love to knit up a story to go with that.
I am a sucker for any orange variation. I love marigold, chilled cantaloupe, and that sugared grapefruit looks absolutely delicious.
Apple butter is a stunning color, I love them all though
Into the Deep is a lovely blue!!
Sugared grapefuit. Yum - both to the colour and actual sugared grapefruit!
Am I allowed to say "all of them"? I really like Earl Grey tho.
They are all really pretty - the Apple Butter looks very yummy!
This was a very difficult choice. I adore this yarn, so I have some of the colors so I picked one I didn't have to make is slightly more simple. Sleeping Beauty
Mermaid and Earl Grey are both gorgeous.
Do I have to choose? Belle, Nirvana, Tranquil Waters... They are all lovely. Thanks, Ve.
I love them all. They would all be lovely to knit with, I cannot choose.
Difficult choice...gonna go with Early Grey.
I love them all, so I refuse to play favorites and pick just one!
Those are some gorgeous colors! I really like Bayfield Apple and Tuscany, though.
Tranquil Waters is absolutely gorgeous.
Sugared grapefruits looks delicious!
I love the Cove colourway.
If I were on a no-limit shopping spree and saw all these colorways, I'd be unable to leave the store without a team of pack mules to haul my goodies. I hate to have to choose just one, but Nostalgia really struck my fancy, and my fancy has the bruises to prove it.
All of them are beautiful...would have to "pick" tranquil waters.
Haute Couture is absolutely my favorite; I love that bright, vibrant, saturated pink!
There are so many beautiful colors, but I'd probably pick Pumpkin, I know I'd love something knitted with that.
Tranquil waters and nostalgia are speaking to me now but there are so many beautiful colors!
cindymen96@gmail.com
I'm really bad at choosing just one, but I do love the new Apple Butter colorway! I have a thing for pink and brown together...
Nostalgia!
Bloom is absolutely gorgeous, though they all look like candy colored confections.
knitonepugtwo @ gmail.com
I'm coveting the Reverie colorway- it's beautiful!
Jewels of Autumn and Apple Butter both look scrumptious!
Oh! But I love them all!!!
I just got Sunny Skies, though, and it currently is my favorite as I have a ton of baby things to knit for a little one, and it's the perfect gender neutral color for a summer baby!
~Jessica, MonkeyButtBabies on Ravelry
Warm brick is really jumping out, it was very hard to pick just one btw.
So many gorgeous colors! I love Forget-me-not and Lagoon and Stargazing the best though
I love Marigold, but wait Lagoon is so rich looking. I could get lost in StarGazing. My girls would love Sweethearts.
When is Christmas again and how do I gently direct my loved ones to this shop?
Oh wow, those are all beautiful yarns. I love Sweet Tangerine and Chilled Cantaloupe. Gorgeous!
Love the moodiness of Earl Grey. Lagoon is a close second.
They are all wonderful, but tranquil waters it amazing
I have to pick ONE favorite? If i must, it would have to be the "new" earl grey!
Wow -- I can't decide between Into the Deep and Forget me not.
Well that's just mean, making us pick only one!
I guess I'll go with Early Crocus...my eye keeps travelling to it as I scan the pages. But Warmth was really pretty, and I could really have fun with Tulip, and Mermaid and Maiden just look so perfect for my unicorn-loving girl.
Argh, too many pretties, not enough money or time to knit them all!
Earl Grey fer sure!
I love all the colors, but my heart fell in love with Delicate Aquamarine. It reminds me of the beautiful waters of the Carribean!
Marigold is a pretty new color. And Tranquil Waters makes me want to pick up the needles right now!
