I used these 2 colors of Zarina to make the swatches for ShawlStar and I loved the yarn! Squishy, great stitch definition, sproingy and not splitty. Oh and it blocks beautifully!
Take a peek at a few swatches. I wet blocked the pink swatch and steamed the yellow swatch and both methods worked really well. Working with this yarn made me think more about using it in a project myself, and now you can have some for yourself!

I love these yarn colors! I’m new to knitting and crochet but would love to create a lacy shawl or beach cover up with this yarn. Fingers crossed!
Colors are gorgeous. Would love to turn this yarn into something beautiful.
Love the colors. Think Spring!
These are lovely and a great yarn. I’ve got several shawls in the queue at the moment and these would be wonderful for them.
Love Zarina, but have much too much yarn so I’m posting about the giveaway hoping that someone who may not be able to afford this delightful yarn will win it. Perfect for baby clothes!! You are very generous. Love the Knotions patterns and website. You are all such a talented bunch.
Looks lovely.
This yarn looks fabulous to work with. I would probably make one of my kids a sweater.
zarina sounds yummy, and the colors are beautiful. I am sure I can find something to make out of it. If not I can use it for lots of charity hats and mittens for kids.
i would love to win these yarns … i already have a shawl design in my head to use them for!
thanks for all the great shawl patterns in the april issue.
best regards,
