Another fabulous giveaway! Josh, of eknittingneedles.com is offering a complete set of knitting needles or crochet hooks, “you pick and choose” and one skein of any color of the new yarn they are now carrying. I bought a few sets and I am so impressed with these needles and hooks and the great pricing and quality. I have been using their needles for over a month now and my experience with these needles is A++++! This is a chance of a lifetime to have every size needle or crochet hooks you need at your fingertips.
eknittingneedles.com not only sells knitting needles but also beautiful bamboo crochet hooks in a large variety of sizes. Bamboo is my needle of choice, because the yarns do not slip and they become better and better with age when it builds up that wonderful patina that comes from use. Handling something as natural as bamboo just feels good in your fingers. Just think of all the gorgeous knitted felts you can make with these wonderful knitting needles.
They are now carrying yarns and the winner will be getting a skein to try. I thank Josh of eknittingneedles.com for his amazing generosity. An added bonus is that you get free shipping on orders over $15 and what could be better than this! They also accept PayPal and credit cards and they also take checks and money orders.
For this giveaway, go over to eknittingneedles.com and check out the needles, crochet hooks and their new yarn, the folks at eknittingneedles.com are very interested in what types of yarns you would like to see them carry, so here is your chance to get in on the ground floor and have a shop that carries the type of yarns you love at great prices. Then come back here and in the comment area type what type of yarns you would like to see them carry, not brands, but types. YOU must enter here not at eknittingneedles.com! This giveaway will run from June 23, 2009 through July 7th 2009. Good luck to everyone!
How about some bamboo yarn to go with those bamboo needles. 🙂
I’d like to see some hand dyed wools and some bamboo yarns would be awesome.
I love Bamboo and Alpaca! This is an awesome giveaway.
Another vote for Bamboo! DK to worsted weights, lots of colours.
A basic merino worsted in a variety of colors would be great!
bamboo would be nice as long as it FSC certified, otherwise, I wouldn’t touch it. Other “green” fibers and natural wools would be awesome!!
I love a nice hand-dyed/kettle-dyed wool in a single ply, heavy worsted weight.
I love bamboo yarn – so silky. I prefer worsted weight.
I love that they have 3mm crochet hooks in bamboo! They’re so hard to find!
I would like to see a Bulky weight wool yarn that resembles roving with very little twist to it!
Oh crap. I got so excited about the hooks, I forgot to add what kind of yarn I’d like to see! I’d love to see silk blends. I had a silk blended with alpaca yarn that was lovely. I’d love to see silk blended with other things, too!
Beautiful! I’ve never seen a crochet bamboo hook! I would love to see bamboo yarns 🙂
I was llooking at an alpaca, angora, silk blend the other day. Would love to see super soft stuff like that!
I’d love to see some 100% cotton yarns. The bamboo is also a great idea, and maybe bamboo/cotton mixes.
Maybe some hand-dyed yarns (in wool or any other fiber) in bright colors would be nice too 🙂
Nice! I might pick up some of those needles to try this week 😀
I’m currently hoarding sock yarn (fingering weight), but I also love bamboo 😀
I have to agree with the others….Bamboo yarn in worsted weight to go along with some Bamboo crochet hooks!
Those hooks looks delicious. And there’s even a 4.5mm! I would love to see some bamboo and/or cotton yarns for the warmer weather. Thanks for the link to the site.
Some smaller weight bamboo (fingering or sport).
I’d love to see some bulky weight cotton and cotton blends.
I love alpaca. My favorite weights are either worsted or fingering.
The baby alpaca yarn is very exciting, but they could definitely use more variety. I’d love to see some worsted weight wool, for winter sweaters- I’d also love to see some DK or sport weight cotton or bamboo blends for summer knits. Sock yarn would be great also, especially something washable- my favorites are a superwash wool/nylon blend.
Any bamboo yarn and any kind of sock yarn would be great! Also, more of a variety in color and dye-style (variegated, solid, etc.) would be nice.
Bamboo would be nice
I’m looking for a yarn to make Sylvi, from the Twist Collective, and having trouble finding the perfect bulky yarn. I’d like a bulky wool/silk blend, so that it’s not as scratchy as the original yarn the pattern was knit in, and not as pill-prone as the soft merino wools can be.
I’d like to see some alpaca wools in natural hues of greys and browns…possibly mixed with soft bamboo fibers as well…to create ‘bambwool’!
Sock yarns
I’d love to see silk blends, myself. Also anything with just a little bit of sheen to it so it shimmers ever so slightly. (I’ve found that works with “satin yarn” very well.)
More bamboo in dk-weight and worsted weight.
always looking for new sock yarns. I do like the look of those needles…
I would love to see some type of recycled fabric yarn con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
Maybe I’m boring, but I’d love some nice, soft, 100% wool, feltable, and at a great price.
EVERYONE SHOULD GO BAMBOO
I’d love to see a high-quality, soft bulky yarn. Something sophisticated, not rugged.
My daughter is just learning to knit and keeps “borrowing” my needles some of which are hand-me-downs from her two grandmothers. I’d like to win these for her! Maybe I’ll get mine back?!
As what I’d like to see… feltable yarns
ps… love bamboo needles! So slick and light weight
Bamboo would be awesome to match with bamboo needles: a perfect match!
Since it’s Summer, my hunt for the perfect cotton blend continues so this is the yarn I’d like to see included. And for the Winter? Some rustic wool yarns…yum!!
Thanks so much for a second chance at winning these fabulous needles!
alpaca/silk or alpaca/tencel (or both)…i love the drape and sheen of those sort of fibers combined with the warmth of alpaca. weights from sock to worsted seem most popular.
Would love some merino wool, worsted weight, in solid fun colors!
I am all about lace right now, and would love to have inexpensive choices in laceweight yarns. Where I live has NOTHING, and I would be willing to order yarn on the net where the shipping cost is that low!
Oh I would love to win these needles! I love the baby alpaca yarn you have pictured, would like to see different weights offered. Beautiful colours!
I love alpaca, but would also love to try a silk or silk blend (although not sari silk – I have knit with that and found it hard on my lungs. I felt like I was inhaling bits of the silk when I breathed).
My favorite weight is worsted weight.
The needles look and sound wonderful
I’d love to see organic wool in lighter (fingering or sport) weights. I’m also interested in linen.
I’d love to have a set of bamboo circular needles! And maybe solid colors of alpaca yarns.
How ironic…I just ordered some circular knitting needles from eKnittingNeedles.com two days ago! Found them by Googling a specific size & type of knitting needle I needed for a gift for someone! I love their site!
I don’t knit, but since they have crochet hooks and yarn, I did bookmark the site.
Anyways…I love the alpaca yarns, but I would love to try the bamboo yarns everyone is talking about…never tried it before!
I would like to see yarn in different weights more. Also would like more fiber blends.
You can tell we’re all knitting for warm weather–everyone wants bamboo! I’m knitting a pair of wool/bamboo blend socks, and the yarn is delicious. I love for luxury fibers (silk, cashmere, even alpaca) to be blended with a soft merino.
For sweaters, I love worsted weight, but lately I have been using hand-dyed sock yarns with solid (fingering) weight for some very interesting sweaters.
I love bamboo, silk, alpaca, merino. I am so spoiled!
I would love to see some bamboo and merino in sock weight or, better yet, lace weight. Yummy@@
I would like to see cotton, silk/alpaca, and bamboo yarns. I would love to try bamboo knitting needles, only have used metal or plastic.
wow great site (bookmarked them) I lvoe the selection of hooks and needles they have right now and that alpaca is gorgeous! I have been looking for more eco friendly yarns…ones made from fibers harvested from organic sources, or processed from eco friendly items like soy, corn, hemp etc.
