Today I would like to talk about a Unique Imported yarn I received from Giovanna Imperia Designs. I have been sample knitting for the company and I can’t even describe the amazing yarns they carry, that are imported from Italy and Asia.
Today I want to tell you about Couio yarn.
It is a manmade fiber, 60% Polyurethane, 40% Nylon, which comes in 70 yard skeins for the very reasonable price of $8 a skein. this yarn is a little stiff to work with BUT once you wash and block your piece, it will feel just like suede or leather.
The sample I did for them in this yarn is this men’s tie:
But I think a purse or belt out of this yarn would be amazing! Also if you are a weaver think of the incredible fabric this yarn would make!
Please Visit Giovanna’s site and see for your self! http://giovannaimperia.com/
Now for what you are waiting for! The Giveaway! Giovanna Imperia was very kind and sent an extra skein for me to giveaway to you! So you ask “How do I win?”
Well go to her site and then come back here and leave a comment telling me the yarn you are most interested in on her site. Leave me your contact info and I will pick a winner by random number generator on Monday, January 31st at 8 pm, central time. I will post the winners name at that time. Also due to postage costs this is only open to people in the USA.
Good luck!!!
