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.
For today’s giveaway, Camilla is offering one Small Things reader the skein of yarn pictured directly above. The colorway is called “Valentino!” It is 2 ply 80/20 SW merino/nylon, 3.5 oz, 400 yards, needle size 1-3.
**In addition, Camilla would like to give 15% off all orders now through February 21st! Use coupon code VAL2015 at checkout to receive the discount.
For your chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post (one comment per person, please!) Comments are closed and the winner is Angela who commented, “I love Camilla’s blog and her yarn! Gorgeous colorway! She has inspired me to plan a trip to Big Sky country!!!”
Thanks, Camilla!

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!
