A little over a month ago, Celestial Strings held a contest for a mystery bag of yarn and I can not believe it, but I won! I was so excited I could hardly wait.
Celestial Strings creates custom dyed, hand painted, and kettle dyed yarns.

And right now through Dec. 31, 2014 you can use the code: TOKEN to get 20% off of your whole order!
I was more than a little surprised by what all Celestial Strings sent me! It was a whole package with 4 hanks of beautiful yarn and a couple of surprises!
One of the surprises was a gorgeous, colorful, size G crochet hook from KnitPicks.com. It is a very light weight, wooden hook with blues, greens, and a hint of gold. The carved details are so pretty and I really love it!
The second surprise was locking stitch markers that were also from KnitPicks.com. They are in 2 shades of pretty purples, they came in a nifty little plastic case, and I am so happy with them! I crochet amigurumi a lot so locking stitch markers really come in handy and make things so much easier.
The first hank of yarn that I pulled out of the package was the dark blue tweed with lovely specks of red and yellow. Before I even got a good look at the coloring I noticed how incredibly soft it is. I think it would be great for anything wearable and I am looking foward to working with it once I figure out what I will make from it. Whatever I decide to crochet with it will be even more special because it is a "One of a Kind" yarn.

The other hanks were a bundle of 3 mini skeins. All 3 of these are also incredibly soft and luxurious. The colorway in them look perfect and I am absolutely in love them. Two of the hanks have beautiful light purples and dark purples in them. The third hank changes from a rich teal to a dark purple. I'm having a tough time deciding what to make from this yarn, there are so many choices and I think it would be great for a lot of them.
