Contest!

So....the contest is finally here! The first "official" contest of Woolgirl, and we want to start it off with a big bang, so we've decided that we're not going to be offering just one prize, but two prizes will be given! As you know, each month Woolgirl is going to feature a vendor from our shop, and this month it's Liisu Yarns. Liisu yarns are hand dyed yarns and fibers by Kelly Eells, who is an amazing artist. She has such a sense for color and each colorway she comes up with is truly more amazing than the next! Here at Woolgirl, we offer several different types of Liisu Yarns, including Leili, which is 75% Superwash Wool/25% Mohair (great for lace or socks), 100% Superwash Merino Wool, as well as Anna's Yarns, which are a mix of 55% mohair/45% merino, and are named for Anna Zilboorg. The Anna's Yarns are extremely addictive to knit with are dyed in a gorgeous array of colors.

In the next month, we are going to be offering several new colors of Liisu Yarn in the Leili, Anna's  and 100% Superwash Merino Wool. Some of the colors are already in the dyeing process and will be to us before we know it; however, we need one additional color to add to the mix. I wanted to give you all a chance to vote on which colorway you think we should have in the shop. It's your opinion that counts here!

Below are 4 colorway selections (A), (B), (C) and (D). Please select your favorite by commenting below (or emailing us at [email protected]), along with a suggested name for the colorway. Keep in mind that these colors will be mixed in different combinations to create an exquisite new colorway. Next Sunday, May 13th (Mother's Day!), we will tally up the comments and the colorway with the most votes will be our selected colorway for the shop! We will then draw 2 names out of those who chose that colorway, and those 2 people will each win a skein of Liisu yarn dyed in this new colorway, along with a little extra something from Woolgirl!

So, let the creativity begin! We look forward to hearing all of your comments!!!!

I like b! And I'd call it "walk through the fire".

[Amber]

I like b as well. I would call it l'Allemagne, which is French for Germany. The colors remind me of the German flag, and I think Germany sounds so pretty in French (it's basically pronounced lah-luh-mahn-yuh.) So that's my reasoning.... :)

[Zonda]

I like C, a beachy theme

[Theresa in Italy]

I like C; I'd call it "misty river."

[Kris (Monkey Sock Pal)]

I love A...NH Fall colors, but I'll pick D, and I'd call it Outer Banks, for it reminds me of the beaches and sand dunes of the Outer Banks in North Carolina...my very favorite vacation spot!

[Spiffy Knits!]

I vote for C and think "Lady of the Lake" would be a great name. It reminds me of that cool scene in "Excalibur" when Arthur is given the sword by the Lady of the Lake.

[ruth]

I like D. I'd call it Morning Dew.

[Linda in Ohio]

I like A. I would call it
"Voyage to the Sun".

[Belinda]

I love colorway C and I would call it "Field of Lilacs".

[Kathy T]

My favorite is B. I like the contrast of the black with the brightness of the reds & oranges. I would call it "Hot Summer Night".

[Shawna B]

I really like C, I would call it "Violaceous".

[Karen C]

I like them all, but my favorite would have to be B. I was going to suggest "under the volcano," but since you're drawing the names on Mother's Day, I would call it "Hot Mama."

[Chris]

Colorway C - Georgia's Dream or Ghost Ranch, because it looks like the mesas and sky in a Georgia O'Keefe painting of the Ghost Ranch area in NM.

[Deb]

C is great. How about something simple, "Ice". Or, "Ice Storm"

[Vanessa]

I like c and I would call it "Morning Glories"

[Ramona]

I like "B" and I would call it "Fire and Ash".

[Betty]

A

Blazin' Sunset

[Patty]

I like "C" the best and I would name it "Fallen Angels".

[Guinifer]

C for me as well - Beach Chair!

[Count Sassy]

C, absolutely - maybe call it Spring Sunset?

[DebbieKnitter]

My first choice would be C, and I would call it: Waves of Memories because it reminds me of the Southern Carolina beach that I lived by. I also like D and I would call it "Mystical Sands of Time" for much the same reasoning. It reminds me of
the beach and I would lay there for hours letting the sand run in between my toes and fingers. It felt so soothing to feel it's cool grains...I digress LOL back to work. A I would call Blaze of Glory,just reminds me of a big fire.

[Jenn]

B for me....and I's call is "Madam"

[Jeannie]

I like C. I would call it "Dream".

[Peggy T.]

B is for Bonfire. Perfect for raking leaves, making smores, hikes in a sweater down a leaf strewn path. Wishful thinking on my part - I live in the Arizona desert!

[Lori]

I like "C" and I would call it Persian Lilacs
