WHERE I PURCHASED THE HAND-DYED COTTON YARN, OPENED IN THIS VIDEO:
‪@mypreciousyarnery‬
MY 2024 ADVENT IDEAS:
Cambridge Fibres Ltd., can be contacted on Facebook by messaging there
Or phone 519-658-8237
Lens Mill Store, can be contacted on their website, www.lensmill.com or various retail locations. They also have an e-newsletter that advises about sales
Vegan Yarns, has a website www.veganyarn.com. I do not know if they have a retail location.
(Much thanks to Judy from Judy's Creations in Crochet for letting me know about the Vegan Yarns site.)
YARNS AND GOODIES FOR PRIZES:
Baarealis Fibre (Etsy Shop) - Looky Looky Christmas Cookie Hand-dyed yarn in wool prize box
Aberdeens Wool Company (Website) - yarn from mystery bag, in non-wool prize box
Lovely Knitting Store in the GTA (online orders also available at Diamond Yarn Retail)
@dawnslovinghandscreations7379 - Hand-dyed yarn in non-wool prize box
@GranieAnieCreates - shared yarn from her previously won prize (some in each prize)
Gather and Dwell etsy store (greeting card)
RULES FOR YarnWithHeart DRAWS:
• In June, this channel reached a milestone. Over 300 subscribers!! Throughout July, you can enter for a chance to win some yarn-y goodies.
• And on July 25th, I will spin the wheel, to pick 2 winners. (The prizes are 2 small boxes/bags of yarn)…
• During my 11 videos, each of you can have chances to enter your names on two Wheels of Names, if you would like… One of the wheels is a wooly gift and one wheel of names is a non-wool one. (The non-wool one could have some traces of wool, as there is wool in the house.)
• Feel free to use both secret words, if you would like a chance at each prize…
• Watch my videos each day to see how to enter your name, as the secret words will be different on each video. As soon as I see your comment with the secret word, I will add your name and the date on the wheel.
• All items in the prizes have been purchased by me.
• I will pay shipping anywhere in the world to get the item to the winner
• The winner will be responsible for any duty, taxes or extra charges beyond that.
• The draw is open to anyone age 18 or older.
• You Tube has nothing to do with this give away.
*** As of July 5th, I am making a slight change (to information given during July 3rd video). You can use both secret words in one comment, if you would like to be entered in both draws. Or you can use one secret word in that comment, if you want to be entered in only one draw. I am still new to having draws, and thought that asking for 2 comments would be necessary for me to keep track of it all…
*** Note that you can do either one or two comments as long as I see you use secret words on each video, I will know which wheel of names to add you to… I hope that is ok with everyone and very sorry for changing things up like that. Just trying to make things easier on all of you….

Hi Cathy!! I love the yarn you received from Diane! I bet it works up beautifully! Thanks for reminding me to send a letter to someone on my mind. It seems life is always so busy. My favorite color is plum or dk purple. My favorite type of yarn is acrylic or cotton blend because that is what I use the most. But I like sock yarns and fancier yarns as well!! So sweet of Angela to send the coffee and stitch markers with your cotton yarn!! Shades of cotton candy definitely reminds you of summer and all the summer enjoyment!!

My favourite colour is purple, and I like wool and acrylic. Thank you for the home made advent ideas. The ones available for purchase can be so expensive....worth the money I am sure, but out of my budget.😊
@YarnWithHeart
@YarnWithHeart 2 месяца назад
You are so right, it is nice to have options for home made, to tailor an advent to specific yarns (I cannot work with wool), or to a specific budget (I can find yarns I use for my donations when it is on sale, so I know it is yarn I will use). (I am excited to see that there is a pre-made advent for non wool, and might save toward that one for 2025... It's on my "Santa List", for sure! LOL) Wanting something without wool in it (and budget) are the two reasons that I started thinking about/considered home made advents. And I always look forward to watching everyone who purchased the wool advents open them... Cannot work with wool, but I really do love looking at each new mini on everyones' videos during December.

That definitely looks like cotton candy! I like a nice plum-y purple color, but also pretty much any color that reminds me of fall or sunsets😊 I love how soft alpaca is, but it’s a little too drapey so probably wool with just a bit of alpaca would be my favorite fiber. Thank for the fun episode!

Hi Cathy! I’m actually a huge fan of wool. I’m one of the lucky ones that doesn’t get itchy or have any other adverse reaction to it. I do love all fibres though. Favourite colour? Again, love them all but I’d say greens of all kinds are what I gravitate to in a wool shop. Very pretty yarn from Angela❤Hope you get some peace and quiet soon!
@YarnWithHeart
@YarnWithHeart 2 месяца назад
There is a bit of peace on Sundays, as they are usually working 6 day weeks... so that is very nice. I am so grateful that Angela still had one package of the yarn left when I emailed her. (It was in limited quantity.) Every once in a while I splurge and get something really special. And I feel really good about this purchase, for sure.

Sorry to hear you are living in a construction zone - that is always challenging. I find lots of noise to be quite draining. Hopefully they get the job done quickly and you can be in a serene environment again. What cute little stitch markers from Angela. Love the Berroco Sesame and the cotton silk is gorgeous as well. My favourite colour changes all the time but blue or purple is usually my first choice. I don't have a favourite fibre because it all depends on what I am going to make.

Hi Carol! If all goes well, maybe it'll only be another 2-3 weeks of construction? You are so right that the noise is exhausting and makes it difficult to concentrate.

Have you watched the basket tutorial by pretty peaceful’s channel? I think her name is Susan. She holds 7 strands together! But the unique thing is she combines different fibers and weights. Her baskets are gorgeous.

Until now, I hadn't heard of pretty peaceful's channel. Those crochet baskets are really beautiful and I wish I could make one! (On a really brave day, maybe I will try. LOL) Crocheting that many strands at the same time might challenge my thumb -- small thing, big aggravation LOL. Short version of the story -- an old "bowling game injury on my thumb". Thankfully, it only bothers me when I try to make things without much stretch, or in cold damp weather.
