Hello lovely people!
As promised we're giving you the chance to win some of our favourite yarn!
We have 6 gorgeous cones of luxurious merino wool to give away as a set.
We have picked six of our favourite shades, each one weighing 200 grams.
Certainly that's enough to make something pretty FABULOUS!!! Perhaps a throw? some shawls?........or a gazzilion colourful flowers!
If that wasn't enough, we also have a selection of bright rainbow shades of 'Universal Cotton' by Wolle Rodel. Which we will be giving away to our second place winner.
We decided to share this cotton with you, because it's one of our favourite "go to" yarns, that we use for small and colourful projects around the house. Isn't it divine?!
This cotton is perfect for bright cheery amigurumi or quick projects, such as these pretty flowers Dennis made using the pattern by Lucy at Attic24.

We have seven vibrant shades of this glorious cotton to share with you, and we cant wait to see what you will dream up and make with it!
Sooo....What do you have to do to win this yummy yarn?
Now we've come up with the idea that to win this yarn, all you have to do is come up with a little poem or a collection of words. The only rule is you have to use the letters Y, A, R and N. It doesn't have to be anything big or crazy, just a little something creative and fun.
So for example:
You could just write four words that relate to your passion for crafting:
Or maybe a little rhyming poem:
It can be as long or a short as you like. As silly or serious as you like......however and whatever you like!
You can even get REALLY creative and make your poem/words into a drawing or maybe fashion it out of yarn. You can then send us a photo of it.
Remember though......this is just for FUN!!
Once you have your little Y.A.R.N poem/words/project, you can either leave it in the comments box below or email it to us at: accordingtomattblogspotcom@gmail.com
(If you leave it in the comment box below, please make sure that we have a way of contacting you. Either a link to your blog or to your blogger profile).
We will mail the yarn to anywhere in the world and are quite excited to see where it may end up!
The closing date for your Y.A.R.N entries, will be Sunday 15th April.
We will announce the winner on the following Monday, once we have chosen our favourite.
The 1st prize winner will win the luxurious Merino cones and the 2nd place winner will receive the playful Universal Cotton.
We are very excited to see what you may come up with!
We hope you have fun!!!!!!

Que preciosidades..!
ReplyDeleteComprendo la mitad de la mitad....creo.
Pero si acierto a ver que tendría que contar mi historia con la lana...creo.
Yo no puedo recordar cuando aprendí a hacer ganchillo,asi de pequeña tenía que ser.
El punto de media fue mas tardío,con mi suegra.
Pero ni lo uno ni lo otro puedo dejarlo....los hilos me atan fuertemente a las dos.
Y si todo esto vale,y además en castellano....pues entonces espero que la suerte me acompañe !
Gracias.
Yesterday memories, sat on my Granny's knee
ReplyDeleteA needle in each hand, then she passed them to me
Remembering the steps for each stitch, concentrating hard
Now I work in a yarn shop, and go through yards and yards!
Watching my crochet class work each stitch,
On hand to sort out any glitch,
Over the hook, pull it through
Lessons learned, skills anew.
(I got a bit enthusiastic here guys and included WOOL in there along with YARN in my Acrostic! Hope you like!)
Yarn Rainbows are a beautiful sight,
ReplyDelete'According to Matt' transform them to delight.
Really wish a rainbow could be mine,
Now I just gotta get lucky with my little Rhyme.
(Thanks for the opportunity to win a Yarn Rainbow :) x
What the word yarn spells out for me........
ReplyDeleteYears of memories, entwined with every stitch
A week-long relaxing holiday spent knitting or a quick snatch-moment of crochet before work
Relishing each row as it grows, yarn over hook, knit and purl
Nothing is as comforting and satisfying as crafting in yarn - bliss.
Oh my goodness, I have two favorites already. Here is my attempt anyway.

Needing to find that yarn I know!

Rainbows abound
Never buying less than twenty!

Hahaha. Thanks for the great giveaway. While the cones would be nice, the cotton seems perfect for some little knits for all the babies that are arriving this summer. I'm bigblueice on ravelry.
and I just scrolled up and saw someone stole my brilliant poem, so I'll leave you with another attempt...
You and I together quietly, and
And I listen to your heartbeat, readily
Readily you share your breathe, it's nuzzling
Nuzzling my neck, so softly.
Thank you.
p.s. I just realized all those cones of merino would allow me to make another awesome rainbow grannie square. I made one for my godson 18 years ago out of red heart. Somehow, i think one with merino would be 10x more awesome. So awesome, it might not make it to a baby. :)

Yeti's Are Rarely Narcissistic
ReplyDeleteThey live alone in sleet and ice and snow
Bright colours and warm decorative clothing
Are not the usual things that they would know
One day, when trudging through a heavy blizzard
A Yeti (name of Brian) found some cones
Merino wool with shades just like a rainbow
And irridescent gorgeous jewel-like tones
"This looks like Yarn" thought Brian, with excitement
"My crochet skills are zero, that I know
But some colour would most definitely suit me
And I think I know the ideal place to go!"
With cones, he raced at speed to Matt & Dennis
Who crocheted whilst they sat and had a laugh
Creating an enormous Yeti tank top
With tea-cosy (plus socks and hat and scarf)
Yes, Yeti's Are Rarely Narcissistic
But now there's one exception to the rule
Cos Brian wears his Matt & Dennis tank top (with matching accessories)
And I have to say..........he looks extremely cool!
p.s. He would have loved a tank top made from Universal Cotton just as much, but you try getting that to rhyme!!!

Ribbing
Needle
-- these are just some of the words that got completely new meanings in my mind since knitting came into my life. Thanks for such a great giveaway! Fingers crossed... :)
Hello from Paris
ReplyDeleteI have tried to send you an email but failed. I never win anything but enjoyed writing these few lines and I love your blog and yummy yarn!
Years of knitting and purling I have happily spent.
A few stitches I have learnt, frogging, increasing and decreasing painstakingly.
Ribbing row after row as the pattern of life I followed, always trying to get the
gauge correct
Needles and balls galore always tempting me to cast on for a new project
Skeins and stash to my heart's delight I have bought, before finally binding off.

Yore does tell of a Pirate King
ReplyDeletewho liked to knit and sew,
whilst knitting a scarf or
a bobbly hat he skewered many a foe.
Against all odds he never did drop
a single stitch nor miss,
a line of his pattern or the turn of a heel
to wear his socks were bliss.
Rum were his deeds in battle at sea,
but his cables were a dream to be sure.
they ran right through his mighty black beard
and the crew his creations they wore.
Now a day did come when he ran out of yarn,
oh woe! what a terrible day.
when he heard a whisper of a prize to be won,
so he turned his ship that way.
Yo Ho! what a sparkly glittery prize,
I needs this treasure I do,
for I'm half way through a sail for me ship
as a nice surprise for me crew!
After days of turmoil and a great big storm,
land came into sight.
with a smile on his face and his goal in view,
the king slept soundly that night.
Right and left and 5 steps there,
and onto the X on the map.
I see that golden yarn in me hands
I feel we are closing the gap.
Nobody knows how the story ends,
for the teller of this wooly tale,
was eaten by a one legged glomping bird,
which looked oddly like a gigantic quail!!
The End....
Sing to your favourite sea shanty ^_^
Fabulous giveaway ^_^

You make my head spin like a skein of yarn
ReplyDeleteYarn that's spun round and round into a ball.
Around the world your willing to ship
Across land and sea to a new land and welcoming arms.
Rainbow of colors I've dreamt so many dreams of
Rainbow made of yarn that ends in my project bag.
Nothing would thrill me more then
Nights spent crocheting the Happy Flower from Attic24.
I've really been wanting to make the Happy Flower ever since Lucy first posted it. I don't have the yarn for it though and I'm unemployed at the moment so I've had to cut back on my yarn spending. Thank-you so much for doing this giveaway!!!
Yesterday i saw your smile,

Remembering that smile is what i want forever,
Never forget that moment of luck.

And enhances the brightest of blooms.
It soothes the spirit and the mind.

Craft and love it does bind.
It is a simple thought.
In elegance and spimplicity it is wrought.
In a brigh or dull array,
It enhances every day.
I am an idiot. Please, please, pretend that I put my email address at the bottom of the email like everyone with half a brain did. I'll go give myself forty lashes, I deserve it.
DeleteYes, each night I knit and crochet,
ReplyDeleteAfter working a long hard day.
Remembering each stitch with loving care,
Needles flying as fast as I dare!

Yarn is a very big problem of mine
ReplyDeleteAnd most people know I think it's divine
Roaming through craft shops you'll usually find
Nicole (and the Bee) trying to make up her mind!
Yawning because it's so late
ReplyDeleteAgain, I've stayed up knitting
Regret it in the morning?
Nah!
You taught me how to knit
ReplyDeletewhen I was just a little kid
After years of practice
I learned hot to knit a cactus
Ravelry soon became an obsession
it has left a deep impression
Needles, hooks and wool
make my handbag full
Years have passed since I got hooked
yet my obsession is never overlooked
Alpaca, charmer and merino
Mi piace! says bambino
Raglan, socks and a hat
are all approved by my cat
Next I want to combine
all my knowledge and design
thanks for the awesome giveaway, I've had a lot of fun coming up with this little poem :)

Hi Matt and Dennis - what a fabulous give-away!
ReplyDeleteHere's my hopeful entry:
Y.
Yes, had I some wool, perhaps I could make
A great big squishy cushion ‘cake’,
Rainbow colours all clear and bright,
Keeping me comfy all through the night.
A.
Although, failing that, had I some cotton,
A Lucy bag, with an endless bottom…
In pastels or patterns, like the big bag of Poppins,
A special place to store yarn, or buttons, or bobbins!
R.
Rico, King Cole, all wound in a mix,

Dear Matt & Dennis
ReplyDeletecant say much about my attempt to win those lovely yarns.
just trying to make something different & of course the one that can steal your attention...

Time & distance really are no boundaries for this kind of thing.
Glad I participate on this, glad to feel this feeling within and
Hoping you guys feeling it too...

Now my life will be forever changed with the prayer you may remember my name..
I live only now to smile and laugh;I wish you would hire me as part of your staff
For then I would not have to compete,for the use of your yarn making my stash complete!
Adore you,
Heidi

Reversible scarves are naturally agreeable while
Nupps resemble little balls of yarn
Yarn is such an important thing in my life. It allows me to be creative, imaginative and lets me loose myself in something other than everyday life.
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago I was made redundant and had no direction in my life. I was out of work for 9 moths and picked up my needles again after a very very long vacation from them (18 years).
Ravelry came into my life at that stage and I joint the Staines knitting Group and discovered other like minded people like me who loved knitting. I was also introduced to the wonders of Attic 24 and crochet. I taught myself to do it through Youtube videos and havent looked back.
Needless to say, the people, place, creativity, happiness, wonder and journeys that I have taken because of yarn have filled me with so much happiness that I am truly thankful to have yarn in my life.
Heya i am for the first time here. I found this board and I
