Sunshine Yarn's and a giveaway
I love Dani's Colorways and I'm excited to work with her to bring you this giveaway.
This is what Dani had to say:
I started playing with dyes for fun while working as a water resources scientist.
I enjoyed my job, but felt too contained by the 9 to 5 work style.
Maybe it was the scientist in me, or the need to play with yarn, but I was soon hooked!
I had gotten into knitting pretty seriously that past year and had a blog, Knitting Sunshine.
I started showing pictures of my hand dyed yarn on the blog, and other girls started asking to buy it. That is when things clicked and I opened up a small etsy store.
I decided on "Sunshine Yarns" as a name, because Sunshine has always been a nickname of mine.
I also feel most at home when in the outdoors -- my husband and I are avid hikers, bikers, skiers, swimmers, and triathletes.
Here in Colorado, we are able to enjoy the seasons, the natural world around us, while doing something we love.
Our love for the outdoors and traveling, gives me all the inspiration I need to dye yarn!
Over the past 4 years, Sunshine Yarns has changed allot since those small etsy store days.
We launched our own website in January 2008, and with the help of Ravelry and our Sunshine Yarnies group, have grown by leaps and bounds.
I say we, because my husband Scott has been working with Sunshine Yarns now full time since the Fall of 2008.
I love the fact that we now have a successful and happy business in a place that we love... we try to never take anything for granted!
The prize:
We are giving away to 1 lucky winner,Pale Dawn Classic Super wash Sock Yarn
Approx.370 yds of 100% Merino Wool.

I'm torn between Team Sunshine and Tonks. They are both gorgeous.
And may I just add that the chocolate plum is yummy.

Pretty yarn. I won't enter because the gorgeous stuff would go to waste on me. But hi friend! Nice to see you again.
I have to say that I'm finding the Weasley roving to be very attractive.
I like the CHOCOLATE PLUM - SUNSILK, I have not seen a color quite like it before.
I will also tweet this.
I am a sucker for green. I LOVE Prickly Pear! Definitely my favorite!
I love the FOREST MIST colorway, but all are lovely.
The first sweater I knit using fingering weight yarn included a lovely pinkish color by Sunshine yarns. I had been given it as a gift and used it as the accent color in a Hanne Falkenberg Mermaid sweater. It is absolutely gorgeous yarn. I would so love to win this!
Off to blog and hopefully some of my few groupies will come over and tell you that I sent them!
OK - all blogged about right here:

I love pale dawn - so soft and lovely. Thanks for the generous giveaway. I'd love to try Sunshine yarns.
I found out about the contest on elaine-knitting.blogspot.com
There were so many color ways that I liked, my favorite was theForks Merino Sport. I love the color green. I also enjoyed the colors in the roving. I'm gonna have to get some of that roving for my new spinning project for this year.
The conversation Hearts really does remind me of those little valentine hearts - and is really pretty too! That and the esme island - love the colors! yummy!
Came over from Darcy's knotty knitting!
Wow, they are all so beautiful, aren't they!
Really really hard to choose a fav. I don't think there is one that I don't like - I guess Bella and
Esme Island would be my favs.

The Pale Dawn is so pretty. I can see this worked up.
