Mountain Girl Yarns {giveaway!}

Today’s giveaway is from Camilla of Mountain Girl Yarns.  Her hand-dyed yarns are incredibly gorgeous, and I am so excited that she is here today to share about herself and her shop!  You can find Camilla at her inspiring blog, and on Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.

My name is Camilla.  I am a small indie dyer and a mother of 4.  We live in the mountains of Montana. The beautiful nature that surrounds me: ice blue lake, mountains, rushing creeks, wheat fields, forests and farms – the Big Sky all inspires… I put all that love into my yarns.
As a nature lover I like to be outside, ride my horses, hike and ski. I find what keeps me the warmest is wool, on cold days. Some skeins have nylon, which helps wick moisture away, excellent for hiking and skiing. It also makes washing a cinch, washing machine friendly. Mountain Girl yarns are non itchy, next to skin soft – perfect for little ones that might be sensitive to that.  Always warm and cozy made with quality hand dyed wool blends…whimsical and original…anything but ordinary.

  3. I’m completely in love with Camilla’s yarn. So vibrant, fresh and looks SO soft! Thank you so much for the wonderful giveaway.

  4. Oh My… Love this wool.. I can see it now as socks or fingerless mitts for someone who can’t get out, is in the hospital … always need something beautiful and positive in their lives.

  6. This yarn is absolutely beautiful!!!!Its amazing!!I would love to try this yarn,thanks for the chance !!!!!!

  13. Wonderful yearn- if I am not too late I would love to participate in the give-away.
    I had this feeling that I “knew” Camilla- Years ago I used to follow her old blog. Her etsy shop was then called different and I always loved her yarn. Great to “discover” her again- thanks!

  16. I hope I am not too late to enter. The 16th is nearly over here in warm Sydney. Beautiful, beautiful wool.

  23. I love the colors used in this skein. Just beautiful. I grew up in Helena MT and am often homesick wishing to travel back.

  24. I love the yarns! And I lived in Montana too – Helena. I still miss those mountains sometimes! But I don’t miss driving on ice in the hills in winter 😉

  31. What lovely yarns and photos! Thank you for sharing, I have been wanting to try this yarn for some time!
    🙂

  38. What beautiful yarn. I have several knitters in my family who could make wonderful things with this!

  42. Such beautiful photography. My grandmother was born in Great Falls, Montana at the turn of the century and I’ve always wanted to visit.
    I’m sure the next best thing would be to knit a pair of socks out of wool made in Montana 😉
