Cumulus Giveaway!
December 19 2014 – thisisknit
We all seek comfort at this time of year... some people find it in steaming mugs of hot chocolate, others basking in the warm glow of a fire. But we know there's nothing better than snuggling up with a special yarn, especially one with the soft, fluffy halo of Baby Alpaca...
Fyberspates Cumulus is new to our shelves, but it had been on our wish list for some time. Jacqui in particular had been plotting an Ellora Scarf since late summer! We'll be posting her FO as soon as it's off the needles, but in the meantime here's our top 5 pattern suggestions from Ravelry for this dreamy yarn.
1. Cumulus
This exquisite shawl from Susanna IC has to be top of the chart, with its dainty bead detailing and striking lace pattern. The beading is optional, but it does add a lovely drape to the finished shawl.
2. Winter Shadows Wrap
Just as elegant, but much simpler in its execution, the Winter Shadows Wrap is a great example of using two complimentary yarns to great effect (in this case we would suggest combining Fyberspates Scrumptious 4ply and Cumulus). The finish is subtle, but the resulting wrap would surely be a wardrobe staple for years to come...
3. Ellora
The scarf is the result of a nifty combination of textured moss stitch and delicate cables. We love it in this icy shade and think it would make the perfect accessory for brisk winter walks.
4. Il Grande Favorito
This project would be sheer indulgence, knitted with two strands of Cumulus held together. We love the modification made by Ravelry User FlickaFish to make the front in garter stitch (as photographed). Pure luxury.
5. Seascape Stole
Kieran Foley is one of our favourite designers here at TIK, and his Seascape Stole has always been a popular pattern. The simple, flowing stitch pattern would be stunning in one of the jewel tone shades of Cumulus.
GIVEAWAY
So that's our top 5, but we'd like to know which pattern is top of your list for this yarn. Let us know, and you just might be lucky enough to win the yarn and the pattern to make your dream project.
Simply leave a comment below, stating the name of the pattern and the shade of Cumulus that you would knit it from. You can comment any time until the close of 2014 and we'll announce a lucky winner in the New Year.

What a beautiful yarn, I think that I would love to try the seascape shawl. I have never knit a shawl or used beads so a delightful challenge for 2015….
I’m liking the seascape stole a lot. Not sure which colour I’d choose – perhaps bottle green?
You probably shouldn’t pick me because I would hang around the shop all day trying to make up my mind. Winter Shadows Wrap is my pattern. I’ve been waiting for just the right project for the 4 ply and this is it. Maybe water or teal or plum or …..
Four, in slate. Please.
I’d love to make Il Grande Favorito using Cumulus in Midnight :)
I would knit “grande favorito” in "Water"Heavenly, snuggly and wonderful!
Ellora in Cumulus 904 bottle green. One can never have too many scarves.
I think I would make Flutter by Susanna IC in the Rust colourway
The Winter Shadows wrap is so elegant and effective; proof that thoughtful choice of yarn and pattern can yield amazing results without being complicated and difficult! I’d love the teal in this.
I must say that it is not clear for me if we have to choose in your list or to give the favorite one from our list. If i have to choose from your list my favorite one would be gran favorito definitly in silver green.
My top one would be bir hakiem from cleonis a french designer (and also a friend) in color silver green.flo
I would love to knit Ellora with Cumulus Plum 908.
Number 1 is my favourite pattern and colour ;) cumulus ;)
Il grande favourito.. It’s so beautiful, a touch of luxury with my jeans. Gorgeous! And the colours… All so, so pretty!
Hope you all have a very merry, happy christmas! Happy knitting!

ooohhh!! I would love to make “Firth o’ Forth” by Kate Davis in slate. I think it would be like wearing a hug :)
i’ve been waiting for an excuse to start Colour Affection! And I’d knit it in rust, slate and silver green.
Cumulus in silver green – looks like a Christmas project !!!!!
I’d make the Horai scarf in Slate. It would look like a wisp of smoke.
I think I’d knit something similar to the winter shadows wrap, in the slate colourway.
