I love the Locha Mocha! Brown & blue are the best new color combo! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I love Locha Mocha! Blue and Brown together _or really anyhting and brown) is so fresh and hip!
Great Giveaway!! Thanks for the fun!

hydrangea
I like the hydrangea one.
And I have two ideas for you:
Twilight: deep blue, deep purple, black, hint of lighter blue
Dawn: rosy pink, light yellow, mellow orange, light pink.
Just some thoughts!
I love the LocaMocha...brown and blue is so beautiful! Anything w/brown is great though! :)
Frozen sherbert!!! MMM Frozen!! Sherbert!!
The watermelon is so pretty!
My favourite's LocaMocha (and Sock Monkey comes in second). I'm looking forward to seeing your new colourways tonight, and I'd be interested in seeing a green and brown colourway.
I'm a knitter and I love sock yarn - socks have been a bit of an obsession for the past few months, since they're so easy to take along when I go places.
I love the Pumpkin Spice... I would knit up one of Cookie's sock patterns with it to show off the beautiful colours.
Love your blog. I'm putting it on my links.
Pick me. All my hand knit hats have been given away!
Love the sock monkey....aaaaaaa, I have a sock yarn addiction!
Stormy skies is wonderful!
Wow those are beautiful! I guess you must have sold the Loca Mocha because I didn't see it! However, I love the Story Skies.
Count me in!
Frozen Sherbet.
I like Locha Mocha. I wish I was creative like that.
Girl! you know I have to enter.... I love Sock Monkey AND Stormy Skies. You should do something likt a "Woodland Moss" with some browns and moss greens. I'm really into moss greens right now... ;)
OK - so let's make a date... what is good for you? I could even come out your way...
LocaMocha is my favorite!
Raspberry Swirl!
Count me in please.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Stop by my place to win a bath set & candles or one of two copies of a book I'm giving away. Don't miss the daily edition of contests galore that I post on my blog.
Laura @ Laura Williams' Musings
I love the Blueberries! I love the subtle pink mixed in with the blue and the brown. Locha Mocha is awesome too!
I, like a previous poster would love to see a green and brown colorway. I also love red and gold together (they were my wedding colors!!)
I'm still learning to knit socks, but I'm already crazy about sock yarn!
I LOVE Stormy Skies. I'm a novice knitter... I've pretty much only been brave enough to make two sweaters. Haven't done anything shaped yet! :)
Ooh...I do love that frozen sherbert. Beautiful.
Am a knitter, just starting out on sock yarn after quite a long time working with only worsted. I adore the stuff. I might visit your etsy shop again sometime. :)

joymichelle87@yahoo.com
I think my favorite is Blueberries, or Loca Mocha.
I'd love to win either the hat, or the sock yarn. Thanks for the great giveaway!
At this point my fav. is the frozen sherbet. Have you tried a creamy yellow, with mossy green and cream to mix it up?
Frozen sherbert my fav. what about some reds, yellows, browns bright
I think of all of them stormy skies is my favorite.
I'd love to see darker more gothic colors. Deep reds and purples with black. That would be to DYE for in my book. Heheehe.
And if I win the hat - it goes to my mom for a chemo cap! THANKS!
Without a doubt my favorite colorway of yours is "Sock Monkey". I grew up in the 1950's, and when I was a little girl my favorite toy was my sock monkey named "Booka". So, it immediately caught my attention. Very fun colorway!!
I would love to see you do an colorway called day at the beach, blue and aqua for the water, taupe for the sand, and green for kelp. I would be lovely. :)
Sandie (zaftig2k at yahoo.com)
There were several I really liked, but I think I'll go with the LocaMocha, I love brown and blue together.
For a new colorway, I think it would be awesome if you picked your favorite Monet painting and used the colors from it. You could even name it after the painting.
I don't knit socks, but I do crochet them! :D
LocaMocha! Or STormy Skys... I am learning to knit now. My daughter and I are trying to learn together... wish us luck!
Lovely - all of them but if I had to choose it would be Raspberry Swirl. yummy! Thanks for the great giveaway!
My favorite is the frozen sherbet. I'm a sucker for the pink/dark combo, though my absolute favorite is light to medium pink with a nice chocolate brown. Gorgeous colors on all your colorways though.
needleclicker26atyahoodotcom
Raspberry Swirl! I want to learn to knit!!!
I love the stormy skies for myself, but I would totally have to buy the sock monkey and make it into a scarf for my sock monkey obsessed friend.
Oh goodness, I like so many! The Raspberry swirl and the pumpkin spice are favorites! Thanks for the chance to win!
The Raspberry Swirl is really pretty. I really want to learn how to knit...
elisarosehilliard at gmail dot com
I love Watermelon! And I'm a sock-addicted knitter who has yet to make two in the same pattern :P
Great prize! I love love love Hydrangea. I think you could use some greens and blues in your selection (which also happen to me my favorite colors). Pink and green also go nicely together. Oh, I am a knitter too if you were so inclined to give away some sock yarn it would have a very good home.
Yay, a contest!!
I love, love, love the Pumpkin Spice! Which is actually kind of surprising... I tend to gravitate toward the purples. After that, I like the Sugar Plum (under sold items) and the Blue Berries... yum!
You asked what colorway we'd like to see. I think one with shades of pink/fuschia and shades of brown/tan would be gorgeous. And, that's after I just said I like purples... I'm full of surprises. :)

Stormy Skies is my fav!

Stormy Skies for me..subtle and flexible with most looks, dressed up or down.
I'm a knitter and love building my stash!
I suggest apricot with deep oranges and cherry red.
Thanks for the fun!
My favorite one is Stormy Skies, it immediately drew my attention. I just started knitting socks (working on 2nd pair, in Monkey pattern), and I think that colourway would be great for a pair of not-so-boring male socks.
nancy.ctli (at) gmail.com
They are all lovely, but I think Hydrangea is my favorite. Please add me to the drawing: maestrastg@yahoo.com.
Suggested colorway for summer socks: red, White, and blue
I love locamoca. I think a color mix that would be fun would be turquoise, pink and brown.
nw_wife(at)hotmail(dot)com
I love the stormy skies colorway the most! I have been wanting to learn how to knit socks :)
my e-mail is:
oohsarajean@yahoo.com
Ooh, pick me! I love Stormy Skies... and I'm a knitter, so any spare yarn would be SWEET!
lila_guterman at hotmail dot com
To choose just one? Impossible! But I think that babygirl one is what I'd use to knit something up for my daughter (yes, I am a knitter).
Suggested colourway? deep greens and brown, or greens and cream with maybe a hint of goldy yellow somewhere.
Tia
I love Stormy Skies. Sock knitting is an addiction of mine. I would love to see more boyish colours. I can always find colours for my daughter, but I have a harder time for my son.
Subtle shades of blue, gray, brown, (not necessarily all together)
DARK green and brown would be a shade I would buy for myself
Joanne

My fave is the LocaMocha.. I love the names you've given these. :) I almost picked "Raspberry Swirl" because it's the name of a very cool Tori Amos song. ;)
I am indeed also a knitter - and a sock knitter. It seems that sock yarn is some of the prettiest you can get; it's widely available in any colour you might like and when you're on a budget it's a great way to get yarn enough for one project without spending next month's rent!
This giveaway is a great idea. :) It's so nice of you! Count me in!
Fellow knitter here - see my giveaway! LOOOOOOVE the Raspberry swirl. Beautiful yarns. Can I have that?? ;) Thanks!
I adore the Hydrangea colorway ... I think I want to paint my living room to match it. I'm a knitter. ;)
Locamocha jumped right out at me! I'm a crocheter, and sock yarn (or bootie, infant hat, baby mitten yarn) is always appreciated!
Stormy Skies is my favorite, though it was hard to choose. And I clearly need sleep, 'cause I read "our therapy yarn" instead of "our three ply yarn". It looks so tempestuous and cushy, all at once!
How about a fall-river colorway with muted mossy greens, some dark muted blues, and bits of autumnal gold/orange/red/brown. (you know, gorb!)
I love knitting socks. I'm finishing up a cabletini sock because I couldn't sleep. Now I'm sleepy, and I'll dream of cushy thundery sock yarn.
Thanks for my favorite giveaway! Love the interactive bits :-)
My favourites (I couldn´t narrow it down to one) is Raspberry Swirl and Pumpkin Spice.

I love hydrangea, so pretty!
count me in!
I love the hydrangea! Thinking spring, warm weather, NOT WINTER!
I am a knitter, currently knitting for the grands, and enjoying having a daughter who is in love with yarn, too!
How about a green/brown with splashes of orange for fall?
i like blue berries :)
Pumkin Spice is really nice, their are all really nice but I like that one best.
mmm...love the Loca Mocha! It was a tough choice, though. I'm a sock knitter, too. Thanks for the giveaway and the heads up on Ravelry!
It's hard to pick just one. But Blue Berries is gorgeous. Thanks llamaliz1@yahoo.com
I really like the Brilliant Gems colorway - and I've never bought hand dyed sock yarn before, so this could be a first.
Two colorways I would like to see are both a little darker than what appears on your etsy (at least right now). I want a dark blue/dark green/black colorway and a dark red or maroon/dark hunter green/idunno maybe black or brown? I seem to be attracted to darker colors these days.
I'm Teresaknits on Ravelry or trhfox at gmail.
that pumpkin spice is lovely! i bookmarked your shop ;)
I love the locha mocha. Unfortunately I am not a knitter but if I were I'd love to make socks for you!
Thanks for a great contest!
superfizz(at)bust(dot)com
Love the Hot Tamale (being a sock knitter, I love the bright colors!)!!
I'd love to see some greens and/or brighter pink colorways. Socks, for me, are like men's ties -- a great place to show off some color!
I love the Pumpkin Spice!!!
Thanks for offering this awesome opportunity for the giveaway! You are very generous! Good luck to all!
I love the Poppy Lemon... such pretty colors! Please enter me in your great giveaway!
ljbs3 (at) juno (dot) com
It's a tie between the Loca Mocha and raspberry swirl!
I love vibrant blue/greens and soft pink/ browns colorways but are hard for me to find.
Please enter me in the giveaway...

I like Pumpkin Spice. Thanks for the chance. I would love to win this, since I am so not a knitter!!
Locha Mocha. looooocha moooooocha. I just wanna stir it with a straw and drink it up!
I really love Hydrangea, but also adore Baby Girl (we just welcomed our new little niece, Emily Marie on Sunday).
Thanks so much! :)
I really liked hydrangea, and loca mocha comes in second. Please count me in!
I adore locamocha. :-) So pretty!
I really love the Locha Mocha colorway. You have gorgeous yarn selections! I just started knitting again and one day hope to be able to make a hat and/or socks.
Please feel free to stop by my giveaway.

I really like Sock Monkey!
I really like hot tomale :)
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Your pumpkin spice colors are gorgeous! I wanted to add a color suggestion with spring coming up! I bet a color combination of pink, yellow and green (all soft shades) would be gorgeous! Thanks so much for doing this!
ahiltzy@yahoo.com
I love Baby Girl!
I think Sock Monkey looks great!!
I love frozen sherbet because I love anything that's purple. I'd like to see some cobalt blue, azure blues & turquoise. That would be really neat. Thanks for the contest.
You make beautiful yarn! Amazing colouways! My facourite is brilliant gems, although it was really hard to decide they all look so great. I love to knit, and although I am a beginner I have hung around yarn for quite a few years, and your yarn looks reallu delicious!
I like the Hydrangea. I love hydrangeas and yours is pretty too. However, I don't see much green. I think a green colour would be nice.
I am a knitter.

Wow, I really love your yarn. I think Watermelon is my favorite. The saturation is just great!!
Hot Tamale
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
I really liked the Sunset Blues! Gorgeous! Thanks! prettybritty425@gmail.com
Frozen Sherbert
As I scrolled down, liking each one but thinking - it's not the perfect one. It's one I would knit up and like or Oh, I know just who'd love a pair in that yarn.
Frozen Sherbert looked so close to what I would dream up. Definitely love it.
But...
Even more perfect would be a light lavender lilac, with a soft gray, and then ? perhaps something greeny? or bluey?
I think I like Watermelon the best. Thanks for the giveaway.
raspberry is so beautiful! Thank you! :)
I like Locha Mocha.Great giveaway!
bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
My favorite right now is locamocha, but the others are great as well. Thanks.
lucycontest at gmail.com
Locha Mocha and Blue Berries! I love the combo! I think a black and white combo would be cool...or would that be too hard to dye. I have no idea about dying yarn. Just thought that'd be a neat combo. I crochet! I love yarn!!!
mhode79ATgmailDOTcom
i love the watermelon color. Suggestion? Cotton candy?
I like both Raspberry Swirl and the Hydrangea. (Don't make me chose!) Beautiful!
How fun! I think I would choose Raseberry Swirl for my colors!!!!
I would love to have a knit hat, I love the sock monkey comphy!
The Baby Girl is perfect for me because I am having my first baby girl in two months! I love your yarn. It is divine. So, Thank you for you having such a generous giveaway! I would LOVE to win any of your items! They are ALL so lovely!
My email is holladayfam(at)gmail(dot)com.
Thanks again!
They're all so beautiful! My favorite is Hot Tamale!
I learned to knit on Thanksgiving and made myself a scarf within two days, it's a lot of fun :)
Sock Monkey rocks!
punkrckpixie@aol.com (and yes, I am a knitter)
SOCK MONKEY!!!
(Isn't it interesting how a good name can also sell a product - those are all beautiful colors, really, but who doesn't love the timeless sock monkey??) XO

I love the Pumpkin Spice! That's really pretty!
count me in! I love knitting and I love yarn. my fave colorway is watermelon but I love them all!
dara00@gmail.com
that's awesome! please count me in. can't wait, thanks! p.s. i love "baby girl"...so cute!
Oh, gosh! Thank you so very much for doing this! The colours are absolutely gorgeous... but Baby Girl is what caught my eye. I'm a pink sort of girl. ^^;
Colourway suggestions... hmmm, how about a mix of dark yellows and bright yellows, reds and burgundies, perhaps a splash of brown thrown in for contrast? You could call it Griffindor. Or Volcano, if copyright is a bear. ^_~
(And yes, I am a knitter, and would fall completely in love with any sock yarn... for some reason, it happens quite a lot. *eyes stash with chagrin*)
monica.velasquez[at]gmail[dot]com.
Oh wow -- I love that LocaMocha yarn on your Etsy site. It's so pretty!
I'm a rather new knitter, just a few scarves and one hat to my name so far, but I'd happily take anything you're not using in your stash anymore! :-) Hee hee!
Thanks for the giveaway.

Stormy skies or LocaMocha -- they're both gorgeous!
rookiem at live dot com
I love them all. I guess locamocha might be my favorite. Hmm.. and idea would be teal and chocolate brown (it seems to be trendy right now.)
LochaMocha!! I want me some free sock yarn!!!
I like brilliant gems and raspberry swirl! I hope I win.
I'd love to see something with a lime green and turquoise and magenta!
I love Raspberry Swirl!

Green is a healing color.
With a touch of gold.
I like Stormy Skies--such a nice, subtle combination of colors.
I like the watermelon. I'd like a blue-green combo.
I hope I win.
Hydrangea is so pretty
Raspberry Swirl & Frozen Sherbet are beautiful. I am a knitter if you want to gift any of your stash of sock yarn, I'd love that. For a different colorway, I think shades of green would be gorgeous. I’d love to be entered.
BTW I’m giving away two prizes at my blog :)
http://unmainstreammom.blogspot.com/
Thanks!

Raspberry Swirl
Pumpkin Spice looks delicious!
watermelon is my fav :)
I like Sock Monkey. Actually they are all really nice.
I love them all - so fun. I think my favorite is baby girl. I am a sucker for pink.
asking us to choose between the colorways is like asking someone to choose their favorite child...impossible. they are all gorgeous!
though, if truth were told, hydrangea is my favorite (shhhh, don't want the other ones to get jealous!).
i hope to venture into sock knitting soon (after the million other WIPs get finished).
thanks for the giveaway!
