Today, Purl would like you to win this fabulous bag of Rowan Baby Merino Silk DK.
Really, she would. It makes her happy when people get excited. Almost as happy as she gets when you play fetch with her nasty rubber chicken.
Or with her even nastier stuffed chicken. (Are you sensing a theme here?)
Anyway, we Loops Troops absolutely adore Baby Merino Silk DK. Gene loved it so much, he designed a baby blanket for it.
And it’s not just for baby stuff. The merino/silk content, soft hand and sophisticated heathered colors make it ideal for scarves, shawls and sweaters, too.
So, for your chance to win a full bag of 10 skeins, post a comment telling us what you would make with the yarn. Be sure to leave your email address or name in the comment so we can find you if you win. You can also tell Purl how cute she is. She can never get enough of that. Right, Purl?

Dear Purl, You are very cute. I cannot resist doggy eyes! I would love for you to choose me to win the Rowan Baby Merino Silk. I adopted an Italian Greyhound this year and I want to knit him a snood or a baby blanket, because he gets cold easily and needs a lot of cuddles. Being a pup yourself, you understand. I took a knitting class at loops this past year and am knitting like a fiend. Please pick me, Purl! I would love to get a picture with you, if I am to win your most excellent yarn.
Purl is such a cutie! Makes me want to make a comfy, cozy sweater for my little doggie Lily.
Not sure what I would make…the possibilities are endless. BTW, Purl is adorable!
I would make a scarf or baby blanket at that is about the limit of my knitting ability.

A baby blanket or a spring sweater – hard to choose- so pretty!
I’m thinking a lacy tunic top for one of my girls would be amazing.
Purl, you are one good lookin’ girl! I would make a hat. Or a scarf. Or maybe a cowl. Heck, w/ 10 skeins I could probably make all three. Thank you for the giveaway.

I think I would make a scarf with matching fingerless gloves!! I love making the gloves.

Purl is a cutie! And I’d really like to make a shawl out of this.
Well, to start, Purl is super adorable! As for the yarn she wants me to win, I’d probably make some sort of sweater or other top for myself.
I would make a baby blanket for my niece that is expecting. Purl is adorable. I live in Virginia and keep up with your shop via Ravelry and Facebook. I would love to receive yarn from your shop.

How about making a blanket for Purl? Actually, a lap throw for my Mom is at the top of the list. – Janet Guest
How can I not do as Purl says? I would make a sweater, I think. Thanks for the chance

I would make a cheery set of hats for my new Yorker kids to help them make it through the rest of winter! Maybe my Strudel could play with Purl sometime. Ps..I never buy yellow, as I look sick anywhere near it, but saw the gorgeous goldfish yellow in this yarn and am being brave and wanting to make something with it!
We recently moved from Tulsa to the mountains of Colorado and are freezing our buns off here! I think I would knit a luxurious cowl to keep me warm & cozy. And if there was extra, maybe even a little something for our two labrador retrievers who are still trying to decide whether or not they like the snow!
Purl, you are adorable and have such a sweet face! I would love this yarn to make a spring dress for my daughter

Purl, you are as precious and adorable as you are generous! I can tell by your eyes that you are not really a dog–you are a “duman” (pronounced “doo man”)–part dog, part human. If I won your beautiful bag of yarn, I would make a very chic, trendy sweater dress/tunic by Bergère de France 2012. And, for you, sweet babyface, a sparkly rhinestone studded collar to match! Thank you for your fun opportunity to win such wonderful yarn!
“Wuf” you,

Purl, you are being such a good girl! I know you really just want all of us to knit you some more chickens… My Ellie knows how hard it is to be patient while momma is knitting.
If I win the yarn, I promise I will play with the puppy before I start knitting matching cowls for my mom, my sister and my daughter. Pick me Purl!

A sweater – for me
Since my daughter has gone off to college, I find that I have to make stuff for her three suite mates as well as her. That would make some beautiful scarves
TEN! A nice chic sweater for me please…. after all we all deserve it.

This yarn definitely wants to become a cute shrug for springtime!
This yarn wants to become a cute shrug for spring!
Purl, you are such a precious puppy and a great protector of the yarn! I would make a lovely cabled afghan for some lucky girl!
I think this yarn would make a cute shawl or sweater. I love the color! Purl is also very cute, maybe she needs a new knitted chicken.
Monique
I would likely make a baby blanket or baby sweater set.
I’m thinkin’ that yarn would make an awesome grown-up size blanket!
And Purl’s such a cutie, I just wanna pet her sweet soft lil puppy doggy ears all day long!
i sure hope its not too late to enter. after all the christmas gifts and baby shower blankies all made last year I would make a divine so so soft shawl for MOI!
OMG OMG! I would love to make a summer sweater out of the yarn. And Purl is a real cutie!
I would make a baby blanket! And a tam for myself with the leftovers!
Purl is a pearl beyond price. And I love that she is a chicken fan. I would love to make the some fingerless gloves and an ever so elegant cloche hat…………
A cardigan! That’s what I’d knit.
Congratulations Lisa Barrett! You are the winner! Please email shelley@loopsknitting.com or post a comment and let us know at which Loops location you would like to pick up your prize. Or if you live outside of Tulsa, we just need your address to ship it to! Purl sez thanks to all who entered, and thanks for the compliments!
I have been crocheting for a while & have made all the small children in my family a blanket, but nothing for myself. I just started knitting . I would love to make anything for myself. I think a blanket for the couch that my chihuahua & i could snuggle up in & watch TV.
The yarn is beautiful, the dog adorable and the project? Well, I’m sure Purl would like a new coat, but I would like a sweater out of the yarn.
I would love to make baby things, all manner of summer clothes, anything that people who are in need that I come across, and lots of other things that my creative brain can come up with. Since it is so machine washable, this would be just wonderful for EVERYTHING that gets soiled easily, and it’s such a breathable fiber, so is perfect for those people who won’t or cannot take time to handwash, like the people who are desperately in need of things due to lack of money. Would love to see what I can do with this yarn!
I would love to make a baby blanket with the yarn. Purl is lovely too.
I would love to make my great niece a blanket she could “snuggle” with if I won the yarn. And Purl is what I would call the blanket.
