Hi Knitters,
I have an opportunity for you to win this whopping hank (440 yards) of Dyeabolical Super Ego Yarn in the Themyscira colorway! I am so in love with this colorway that I unknowingly bought both the yarn and the roving from Rachel of Dyeabolical Yarns in her booth at the Kentucky Fiber Festival in 2011. There is something about this colorway that absolutely glows. It is so saturated and rich. I think it is difficult to capture the glow of this skein in a photo.
I recently worked both my skein of Themyscira in Sporty and spun my 4oz. roving. Rachel saw my shawl on the blog and contacted me to see if I would like to give away a hank in the same colorway, Themyscira, in her Super Ego base. I jumped at the chance! I would love for one of you to have this yarn.
Here is what you have the opportunity to win:
1 hank of Themyscira (photo above) in the Super Ego base (100% superwash wool, 440 yards/150 grams). Technically this yarn is a sport weight but it can be used as a heavy fingering to a light worsted weight. It has range. The generous hank has huge yardage so one skein could make a pair of socks or a good sized shawl.
In case you are wondering what Themyscira means, it is Wonder Woman's secret paradise island, which I love. Isn't that fun?
To refresh your memory, here is the Little Shells Shawlette I just finished in the Dyeabolical Themyscira.
It is a sweet little shawlette with great pops of color. I can't wait until it cools down so I can wear it.
Here are the links for today:

To win the gigantic skein of squooshy, yummy Themyscira in the Super Ego base, please leave one comment on this blog post. Please leave your rav id or email address so I can easily get in touch if you win. I will be back soon to randomly select a winner. This is a great chance to try some fantastic yarn from a talented independent dyer!
Thank you, Rachel, for your generosity.
Good luck and let the comments begin. Good weekend to you all.
best, susie

Lovely yarn!
That colorway calls to me, too. I think it is the vividness of the turquoise with the splash of yellow.
Absolutely beautiful !! I want to make everything you post and love all your selections of yarn !!! You have inspired me from branching out on my hat knitting to making shawls !!! The Silk Moon Crescent Shawl was all it took, I am hooked.......Love this yarn ! Keep inspiring us; I do not know how you have time for children, the blog, emails, working with yarn folks, and your knitting. You must knit in your sleep !
This looks wonderful. Pick me!!

Me please this would make awesome socks for my little bird that is about to spread her wings and fly off to her new life as a college student and is in a complete and utter panic because she scored too high on the placement test! For the first time I will have an empty nest as her not so little brother is off to an awesome Semester School so I plan to sit and knit knit knit.
So Vivid! I think since I noticed that they dyer's name is Rachel this would have to be something I knit for my daughter...Rachel.
Oh, it's gorgeous! I would love to make a shawl out of it :)

I love everything Dyabolical! Her colors knock my socks every single time I look in her shop. I was able to do her last round of her fiber club (before it went unclub), and it was the happiest 3 mos of my life. Her fibers are never disappointing, and her customer service ROCKS!
I'd love to win something of hers while I'm on a spending hiatus. I'm totally looking for a better job to up the yarn budget and therefore my Dyeabolical budget!

I rarely comment, never win & at this point of unemployment, can't be buying. But I can still look as the saying goes - you know - I may be married, but I'm not dead! As long as my dh doesn't let me catch him looking, we are good.
So I have looked at this shawlette & it has looked good - color included! I would love to be the winner, but won't hold my breath!
