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 had never heard of your site – or your magazine or this giveaway – until I clicked on a Pin on Pinterest and was taken to your site. And Wow! What a find!
I also have not heard of this yarn, but it sure looks yummy! I’m not sure what I would make with it if I win – there IS this sweater I’ve been thinking about making – but I really have to hold the yarn and let it speak for itself.
You had me at “sproingy and not splitty.” It looks like a beautiful yarn in your photos. I would love to win some to see what I could do with my beginner skills. Yarn that lovely can only help!
Lovely!
Love this color combo! I will make a shawl
I’ve never had the pleasure of using these yarns, but they look like they’d be delightful to use for a special crochet project or two!
Oh how exciting it would b to win this beauty yarn. It would make a nice sweater!
Pink and yellow are mu favorite colors! I’d love to win this.
