{Giveaway closed.}
I love Twitter.
I don’t spend much time there and do most of my twitter stuffs in the mornings while having it running in the background while I’m doing my blogging and email and such at 5am.
I accidentally left it up and running the other day and happened to see a tweet about The Twinery.
If they reached 5,000 likes/fans, they would be randomly selecting one of the 5,000 peeps who would win the grand prize of all FOURTEEN spools of twine (including three colors that weren’t even released at the time!).
I clicked over and was actually surprised I hadn’t already like their FB page.
I’ve long been a fan of their gorgeous twine. So I clicked like and moved on with my day.
I was #5,023. I don’t know why I remember that. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.
It’s probably obvious by now, but um, I WON!
The grand prize!!!
FOURTEEN SPOOLS of rainbow happiness all bundled up in candy cane goodness of twine!
Giddy.
Did a little dance and even squealed like a schoolgirl.
You should have seen how fast I rushed over to find something to open the box when it came in the mail!
You’d think I was being chased by a wildebeest or something.
But no…just excited about my sunshine in a box.
Maraschino, Pink Sorbet, Blossom, Mandarin & Lemondrop.
(How fun would it be if your job was to name all the colors?!)
Buttercream, Peapod, Honeydew, Caribbean, & Denim.
Denim (again), Lilac, Stone, Charcoal, & Cappuccino.
I have to figure out a fun way to display it…in my kitchen.
This stuff’s way too pretty to sit in a drawer hidden.
When I emailed Nicole my address to send my winnings, I told her “You know, there’s no way I’ll be able to resist blogging about this…and actually, now that I think of it, would you mind if I hosted a giveaway for my readers when I do it? I know they’d LOVE it!”
Because, sweet readers, I do love you.
Plus, it’d be a little janky of me to just sit and write an entire post about how amazing my luck was and do nothing but brag about my ROY G. BIV fabulous and then end the post.
I think about y’all. Seriously.
Luckily, Nicole is a sweetheart and agreed to give away a Colorful Bunch Sampler Pack!
15 yards of twine in each of the original 11 colors!
Which is perfect for making this (first on my twine usage agenda).
So, how do you win? Let’s keep this one fairly easy. (I really dislike giveaways with 8,000 ways to enter.)
1. Leave me a comment in this post telling me what your favorite color twine is AND what color you think they should make next. (1 entry. Mandatory.)
2. Either subscribe to my blog, follow me on Twitter, or like my Facebook page. You can do all three but it’s still 1 entry. If you already do all 3 just leave a SEPARATE comment telling me you do. (1 entry. Un-mandatory.)
I’ll randomly select a winner on Monday, August 8.
Good luck!
You want to win. Seriously. This stuff is super fun.
Oh, and FYI, spools are on sale right now for $12 (normally $14).
{This is not a sponsored post. The story I told was totally true. I randomly won and was under no obligation to blog about it. }

LOVE. And how great that you won?!!
I think the charcoal might be my favorite. Or any of the pinks. Or just all of them… ;)
I subscribe!
I love the Mandarin orange one… I think it’d be cool if they had multi-color ones. Kinda like variegated yarn where it just runs into another color.
twine looks like so much fun to incorporate into so many of my projects!!
This would be so fun to have for the bake goods I plan on making for my neighbors.
I love the greens, especially Pear. A great new color would be Sunset. How wonderful that you won all that great twine.
My favorite is Honeydew and Caribbean. I think they should make a very deep brown next time. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
OMG you are lucky…love all their colours. I’m loving their new denim..can’t wait to get my hands on it. As for next colour, I would like to see a tan (kraft) coloured one.
Maraschino – and not just because of my love for cherry’s but the red reminds me of old fashion brown packages tied with twine. A new color I would like to see has to be a sweet pale blue.
I am a fan on FB and also subscribed to the reader.
Oh I love Lemondrop the best and for another color they should make how about a multi-color twine? Like orange, blue and green – that would be pretty!
I subscribe to your blog!
My favorite color is peapod. I think they should make sunflower!
I like your facebook
follow you on twitter!
I love the twinery!SO cool that you won. I’m jealous. I’ d love to win this sampler pack! I have a few colors and want them all! I love the light pink and if they make a new color I would love hot pink!
I love the Lemondrop and Mandarin. I would use them to decorate for my son’s first birthday which is yellow and orange themed! As for a new color???? Maybe a Kraft paper toned one since that will also be included in his b-day theme!
What a great prize! I think my favorite color is denim, followed closely by maraschino. What should they make next? I don’t know. I don’t see a sunshine yellow in the mix. That would be good.

Blossom… I can think of a million things I’d use it for with my two little girls.
I love the Lilac. I think they should make black and orange twine for Halloween.
I follow you on twitter! @DonnaOneil
Oh my I love the Caribbean! I think they should do a deep teal color next!
Following blog, twitter, & fb ;)
Ohmygod you are so lucky! I love me some twine!! I really like the lemondrop colorway but I would love to see a dark, rich purple color.
I’m subscribed to the blog and I’m about to follow you on twitter!
Congratulations on your twine blessing. : ) I love classic maraschino, but think a deep dark brick red would be useful throughout fall and winter.
great giveaway. i’m a knitter and i’d love to incorporate these into something. their next color should be some kind of blue and maybe they would call it summer skies.
following you here and on twitter!
My favorite twine is caribbean, maybe because I’m in this summer feeling and it fits so well! And I hope they’ll make some colourful ones next, different combinations of colours, that would be great!
Thanks for this giveaway!
I liked your facebook page and I’m really happy I discovered this blog by hasard.
Me and twine? BEST FRIENDS. =0)
(I follow your blog…and love it!)
I really like the denim color. I’d like to see a turquoise color.
I liked your facebook page!
eek! I love it! Pink Sorbet is my fav but they are all delish! Thanks! :)
I “like” you on facebook! :)
Thanks!
Peapod is my favorite but they are all great and have so many uses. Thank you!
I LOVE them all! But the pink sorbet is probably my favorite or maybe the honeydew. This serious may cause a new addiction! Too cute! I think they should make a dark grey! I love grey!
i LOOOOOVE twine! current fave is stone, honeydew & lilac! would love to see a coral.
i’m a twitter follower! =)
For some reason I love the mandarin even though orange is way down on my list of favorite colors. I think they should do some jewel tones like a deep dark turquoise, magenta or a mustard color.
I am a subscriber! Thanks for a great giveaway!
New subscriber to your blog. I’m also a sucker for bright, fun colors and crafting with them! Loving the bright red…. would love to see deep red… maybe “Maple Leaf Red”.
I love love LOVE the Honeydew color ;) and I think they should maybe make a Candycane Red with tinsel-y fibers in it for Christmas!
