Silver Spun Giveaway! ~ Win 2 Full Skeins and a Pattern ~ Over $50 Value!!
The fabulous folks over at Feel Good Yarn are giving me some yarn to giveaway. Two full skeins of Silver Spun in fact!
This is the perfect amount to make the Textable Gloves, so I’m throwing the pattern in with the yarn. See below on how to enter the giveaway.
In case you haven’t read my previous post about Silver Spun let me inform you quickly that this yarn is made with REAL silver woven in. According to the Feel Good Yarn Company
The silver content in SilverSpun makes it therapeutic and conductive. Silver kills a number of bacteria, including those that cause odor, has excellent thermal properties, is nontoxic and is perfect for those suffering from diabetes, arthritis and sensitive skin. Silver is also an excellent conductive agent thus allowing smartphone or tablet touch screen use while wearing gloves knit from the yarn. The silver is permanently adhered to the yarn and will not wash out.
I love this yarn, it’s soft, incredibly stretchy and very easy to work with. Also did I mention when you make the gloves from the pattern I’m including in the giveaway, you can use your touchscreen devices because the silver is conductive? Check out the video review below to see the gloves working with my iPhone.
You can even use the leftover yarn to sew into your other gloves to make them textable as well.
The nitty gritty of what you will win.
2 full skeins (50 g/ 173 yards per skein) of LanaMundi Yarns Silver Spun that will be mailed to you. ($50 value)
1 Women’s Textable Gloves pdf crochet pattern that will be emailed to you. ($2.99 value)

Baby sweater and mittens.

Being a sport weight cotton yarn with the healing properties that it has, I would make a pair of gloves for my mother-in-law 🙂
Victoria
This yarn would be a fantastic medium to make fingerless mittens with a detachable slipon to cover all the fingers when it gets cold. It would match a cozy infinity scarf.

I would make the texting gloves but think I would add a little on the cuff to make them wrist warmers too. (The wind always seems to find a way up those coat sleeves). They would probably look like old fashioned evening gloves but when people find out they are “high tech” it would be an awesome surprise. 🙂

This yarn would be fantastic for a chemo hat – or a cowl or wimple. I have a pattern saved that would be wonderful to knit with this yarn (I know, this is a crochet based blog) called Chameleon. There are many so ways to use this rich, lovely yarn!

I would love a pair of cel phone gloves, but I think this yarn would make a really beautiful cowl as well.

I would make a readers shawl out of it. You know, the kind with pockets to keep your hands warm. You could keep your hands in the pockets and still turn the pages of your reader.

I am sure this yarn would make a beautiful scarf or even a hat would look great.

Gloves would be awesome if you can use them with your phone. I like that it helpful for those who have arthritis- perfect for my mom. A muff for the winter, trimmed with something fancy would be kind of fun for her as well.

It would be awesome to make conductive lace-trim for a jacket – then you could hook up various LEDs, and the piece would look wireless.

This yard is simply wonderful. To put it to therapeutic use, I would make wrist warmers for loved ones suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome. Then, to display the beauty of this yarn and for the sheer pleasure of working with it , I would make several of your snowflake motifs to become tree ornaments and gifts for next Christmas.
