Oh I can see so many things in y head made of this lovely yarn. Thanks for the opportunity to win some!
Was just checking out your Ladies of the Lambcam. Beatrice is a beauty! I hope she contributes some of her warm, fuzziness to the winning yarn; which I would use to knit something like Gatsby in this issue if Interweave Knits. Like a long vest that can be worn as a dress or jumper.
Beautiful color!! It would make a great sweater. I’d love to make the owl sweater (http://needled.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/owls/) with it. It would be my first sweater!!
It’s so gorgeous! I will make a carriage blanket for a colleague’s baby — expected in November, so a warm cuddly will be welcome.
Thanks for the great yarns you create.
Scarves, lot of scarves, I am new to weaving and I think that your yarn would be lovely in scarves that I could weave and share with my Michigan friends.
I have a pattern for a crochet, throw/sweater that I would love to try.

Oh my! So beautiful au naturel!
The yarn is sooo yummy looking. I have a couple of things that I would do with it, if I were the winner. First off, I would surround myself in it, as I’ve never knit with anything other than superwash wool in my sock yarns, acrylic and kitchen cotton. I wish very much to try to make something beautiful and warm with a beautiful yarn.
Secondly after frolicing in the yarn for a bit, I’d get going straight away on making a set of matching sweaters for my almost 5 yr old daughter, and the baby we just found out we’re due to have in January next year. I would hope that having something in common, and something my daughter could say she helped “design” would lessen any jealousy.
Thanks for having such a wonderful giveaway. All the colors are beautiful. I’d definitely make a cardi.
I am thinking a fluffy cabled scarf and big warm mittens. =)
I’m thinking Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Gaffer’s Fisherman Gansey. What a lovely accident.
Mmmm this is gorgeous and would make a lovely cabled sweater!
I would make a Februrary Lady Sweater out of most of it, and use the remainder to make my donation sweaters for Warm Woolies and Afghans for Afghans.
Wow this yarn is popular. Hmm, I was thinking a nice cozy throw to put on my recliner for the winter.
I would like to make a sweater for my husband. I have been looking for the right color and texture for a manly sweater.
This looks so nice. I’d probably dye it a deep purple and then make this vintage cabled sweater I’ve been itching to make.
I’ve been thinking of a lovely cardigan to knit while in Montana this summer. Something in a wooly, natural color; Something simple and stylish; Somthing that reflects the clear mountain air and wide open skies–starting with a solid border with garter or seed stitch in a wide ribbing, followed by a few nice ridges (the foothills), opening into the mountains and the bodice in a nice clear open sky. Finally a wide neckline–maybe echoing the bottom edging–that completes the picture. One of those simple, perfect sweaters you will wear every day–lovely and comforting!
Gorgeous yarn. I have my fingers crossed.
I totally see sweater for the beach made out of this beautiful yarn. Keeping my fingers crossed…
Oh how I miss shearing day! I was the “sheep mama” at a living history farm. I do miss my girls! I would knit a Celtic cabled sweater with the yarn. I go tomorrow to a Melissa Leapman workshop to learn the Celtic cable technique. Cables show up so well with an oatmeal colored yarn!!
I would make a sweater–maybe the Forecast cardigan or the Everyday Cardigan. They both seem like they would show off the color very well!
Oh, that color is lovely and begs to be made into a ribbed, zippered cardigan, maybe with a hood — something cute to throw on over the short sleeves when it cools off on summer evenings.
Like a bit of Ireland…glorious!
It would be oh-so-perfect for a full on aran cardigan, knit tight enough to fend off the wind in late fall. Gorgeous!
I’m in! The yarn is beautiful!
I would encourage my middle school knitting clubbers to create the coffee cup cozies. It’s a simple felted project and a wonderful conversation starter about being green and thinking about living green starting with that first cup of java. It’s an thoughtful Mother’s/Father’s Day gift.
That is totally gorgeous yarn. I think it needs to be made into an aran type cardigan that I would treasure forever. It would show the cables so nicely!!!
Gorgeous color! I would make a little summer shrug for those few chilly nights. And probably a scarf or two.

I know it’s not the right gauge… but I will swatch and do math and make a bigger size in a smaller gauge and this sweater shall be mine.
Or if my math prowess is too lacking, then http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/halcyon-3
Yeah…. that’d be nice too.
That Oatmeal Heather is luscious. I’ve been trying to get more grains in my diet…
Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!
Oh my, I LOVE the look of that! I’m thinking a baby blanket for the babe my husband and I are so desperately wanting.
I will make my 2009 pair of fingerless gloves – probably Fetching from Knitty!
It’s gorgeous. I would definitely put it toward a Summertime Tunic.

It sounds as though there might be enough for me to make another felted jacket similar to the one I’m working on now. It’s the Heather pattern from the Twist Collective.
What a generous gift! So many possibilities with such lovely yarn. Classic sweater comfort, a cabled cardigan.
I just ordered the book “Knit Kimono”, and if I won the yarn I would hope to find a good pattern in that book. Didn’t get the book yet, but it looks like a lot of the patterns will be akin to boxy sweaters.

WOW! This is giveaway is wonderful & could not have come at a better time! From the moment I saw this aran armchair slipcover: http://www.chairblog.eu/2008/12/04/knit-an-aran-armchair-slipcover-%C2%BB-curbly-diy-design-community-%C2%AB-keywords-knit-knitting-knitted_slipcover-slipcover/
I was in love! I just bought the perfect armchair from an auction last month & have been searching for the perfect yarn to tackle this project! The Oatmeal Heather yarn is just BEGGING to become a cosy aran armchair cover with all it’s cabley goodness! Everyone should have an aran chair – especially for cold Canadian winters!
I would like a slightly fitted cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves (forever pushing my sleeves up to do something). Or a vest or two with some nice vintage detailing
Oh my, does that yarn look luscious. I’ve never made a blanket out of a non-superwash yarn before, but this just begs to be a throw, I think. Something cuddly and lovely…sigh.
Oh my! Beautiful yarn…. I’d like to knit a cobblestone sweater for my guy. But let’s be serious… I’d knit myself a dollar-and-a-half and he’d never be the wiser!!
This yarn is gorgeous and comfy looking! I would definitely make a sweater to snuggle up in!
ooh been away from this site for a bit …high school graduations and such but this yarn must be calling me… oooh I think a cardigan for sure!
Why wait for the beach? Here in the mountains it would be perfect for an after dinner walk in the cool still-spring air.
oh! the slightly tweedy look of it means that i would so totally make the cropped “forever tweed” pullover from the latest issue of Interweave’s Knitscene.
See it here http://www.knitscene.com/issue/Spring-2009-Projects.asp#tweed
I’m more a natural fiber color person, so i wouldn’t die it – i’d just enjoy its yummy oatmeal-y goodness!
Another person here who sees an Owl Sweater in that yarn! Looks like it would be a delight to work with.
Hmmm! a sweater for my husband or a shawl for me? a sweater for my husband or a shawl for me? a sweater.for my…..I will have to flip a coin.
Wow that is beautiful yarn. I think I would make Tweedy Aran Cardigan http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tweedy-aran-cardigan or November Ruffle wrap http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/november-ruffle-wrap.
beautiful yarn, beautiful farm!
If I were to win, I’d make cardigan/shrugs for my Mom, my sisterand myself. I need to get back to knitting, so they don’t think that I am depress after my stroke.
definitely some form of sweater. by the time i am totally finished with it itll just about be winter time again!!
OOOOh so pretty! I would make a ruana – I have an Out Couture patterbn and I think that would be just enough yran to make it.
