Well, knitters generally are hungry for wool, no matter what time of year it is. If it's cold outside you can cuddle up under your in-progress sweater or afghan. And if it's hot? You can make mittens, caps, bags, tea cozies – any number of smaller items and accessories are perfect wool-in-summer knitting.
(Notice how I left out scarves? If you love knitting scarves, you go for it. I, for one, find them incredibly boring to make.)
Anyhoo ... this week you have the opportunity to win TEN labeled skeins of Icelandic wool, made by Alafoss Ltd. of Reykjavik, Iceland (THE Icelandic authority). This is vintage stuff, but it's been stored in my cedar-lined, pet-free yarn closet ever since I bought it.
The rules remain the same: Live in the United States, leave a comment before Sunday, August 12 at 5 p.m. EDT, winner will drawn using the random number generator at random.org. Only one comment per reader will be considered for purposes of winning, but all comments are appreciated.
Treasured, even.

Oh man that's pretty... I need to move to America... well, and learn how to knit! :D
There is a lady in one of my book review groups that always has her knitting with her and tends to knit in very neutral colors. So, I am throwing my hat in to win this for her. And so you have someone in the rink. If no one else comments, you might wait to mail it to see if you have other orphan give aways and send it all in the same box.
I almost suggested this last time with the pink batch.
I've been meaning to get some wool to knit something for my grandmother. Thanks for posting this giveaway! :)
I'm a big fan of icelandic wool not matter what the color or time of year! So count me in :)
That would make a nice bag! Thanks!
Thanks for the giveaway! I love neutrals and to make a sweater out of this yarn would be a dream come true for the coming fall weather!
Oops, I thought I entered, but I may have commented on the wrong post...? Oh gee that was silly of me >.<
