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!

Beautiful yarn! I cannot believe you are doing give-aways on top of giving us free patterns and so quick to answer emails too… You are amazing!
I’ love the sound of this yarn. This yarn will be used for a semi-circular shawl. I would then donate the shawl to King VA Nursing home.
Pretty colors- so bright and cheery! The yarn sounds like a good knitting!
