Congratulations on getting started! I always love to hear of new dyers. Personally, I have a preference for semisolids.
ResponderEliminarCongratulations!! Your yarns are amazing!! And I prefer semisolids.
ResponderEliminarCongratulations and I prefer semisolids.
ResponderEliminarI'm going to be different and say I love variegated (because I do!).
ResponderEliminarSemisolid!
ResponderEliminarI love variegated yarns the best. I. Enjoy watching how colors play together.

Hi! Is this competition open worldwide? I definitely like semisolids better. They look nicer when I knit them in with complicated stitches. Variegated looks more fun on the skein though. - Vonraveller on Ravelry
ResponderEliminarYes, worldwide!
EliminarI have to agree with Vonraveller. I love Varigated but hate to work with them I buy semisolids to work with Varigated tends to stay in the skein and be petted.

I should say semisolid, as I that's probably what I use more of. But I also love a nice variegated where the color scheme is "gentle" rather than glaring. They are great for using in stranded patterns to give added spark to the design without extra work. So I'm going to say variegated.
ResponderEliminarI would say semisolids... I really love variegated but have a hard time matching projects to them.
ResponderEliminarI prefer semisolids because lace patterns show off better.
ResponderEliminarI prefer semisolids so they go with my printed dresses and tops
ResponderEliminarSemisolid, please!
ResponderEliminarI've always gravitated towards variegated but lately am appreciating semi solids so that intricate patterns who up better.

Thanks for a great giveaway :)
ResponderEliminarI really like both variegated and semisolid yarns.. It depends on what kind of pattern I want to make, is it very detailed (semisolid) or would it give all the attention to the colouring of the yarn (variegated).
But then I'm always a fan of delicious colour combos so I'll go ahead and say variegated :)

I like semisolids better than variegated. Although both are nice. Thanks for the chance to win some yarn.

Varigated for socks, semi-solids for shawls and larger projects
ResponderEliminaralcbrooks on Ravelry
I love the look of varigated yarns, but prefer to work with semi-solids since they make lace patterns pop more. Of course, there are some projects that scream for a gorgeous varigated yarn.
ResponderEliminarDefinitely semi-solids. Although, I've seen a few patterns that need variegated and I'd be willing to try it then. Thanks for a great giveaway!
ResponderEliminarI prefer semi-solids. Thank you for the giveaway! Rav id: iribeiro
ResponderEliminarI prefer semi solids in yummy yarn
ResponderEliminarCaleengeal ravelry
I prefer varigated because the end product could be EXACTLY like the skein or so very different and I think that's the fun part! :)
ResponderEliminarI love the way semisolids work up.
ResponderEliminarIn general I prefer to knit with semi-solids, but I love to collect variegateds!
ResponderEliminarI love knitting with variegated yarns....they ways turn out so pretty
ResponderEliminarNhsarab on Ravelry
I like both for different things but i gravitate more towards tonals and semi-solids.
ResponderEliminarEspecially if i am getting yarn without a specific project in mind. Seems it is more versatile to use and can show off specific stitches better.
Varigateds can be fun but limiting depending on the project.
Great giveaway!

Love semi-solids but variegated is fun for socks.
ResponderEliminarsherryglover1 on RAV
Overall I prefer semi-solids. You have gorgeous yarns, thanks for the giveaway! --ariesandewe on ravelry
ResponderEliminarI love all the colours, but prefer knit whit semisolids :)
ResponderEliminarBeutiful yarns, thanks for the giveaway! I prefer semisolids.
ResponderEliminarI like both!
ResponderEliminarI like both a lot.
ResponderEliminarPrefer variegated,but also like solid,any yarn is great for me.Amazing giveaway,thank you for the chance to win it.
ResponderEliminarI prefer semi solids. Love discovering the different shades of the color!
ResponderEliminarI love variegated because I love playing with colors
ResponderEliminarIt depends on the project, but I love color with some variation. Semisolids are great for lace and cables, variegated is great for simplerpatterns.
ResponderEliminarI like both!
ResponderEliminarFor me: tonals and semisolids - but I'm willing to make exceptions :D
ResponderEliminarAs an 'advanced knitter' I love to experiment with both types. If I have to choose it would be semisolids

I love giveaways. I prefer variegated
ResponderEliminarEither is fine. I like semi solids and I like variegateds.
ResponderEliminarI prefer semi-solids. Thanks for the chance :-)
ResponderEliminarIt really depends on the pattern. I love both
ResponderEliminarI always love variegated yarn. Will share this link on my FB.
ResponderEliminarMy preference changes with my mood, or the weather, or the yarn, and the pattern ... but right now I'm thinking semi-solids.
ResponderEliminarI find variegated yarns more attractive
ResponderEliminarI have some but i want MORE!!!!!
I prefer the semisolids more (with slight variations in color)
ResponderEliminarI now Like you on Facebook
ResponderEliminarThanks for the chance! I'd love to try the blue elephant yarn!
ResponderEliminarI think I prefer semisolids. Unless it is long colour changing variations - but I think that's not called variegated? I am a total sucker for long colour repeats (think Chroma or Cortina...)
Would love to win and prefer solids or tonals.
