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.

I would love to knit Ellora with Cumulus Plum 908.
Waing up the winter gales with it would be brilliant!
I would knit the Winter Shadows wrap – just as pictured, its perfect!
Seascape would be perfect for this delicious yarn in the beautiful shade of sea green.
I would love to knit the Hands Up wrist warmers using a strand of Bottle Green and Sea Green together
All so beautiful but Il Grande Favorito in slate for definite.
I love Il Grande Favorito, I would never have thought to use Cumulus to knit it. Fabulous idea. So it would be this pattern that I’d choose. As for the colour way, either water or teal, both are gorgeous.
I would use it for another Marin shawl by Ysolda. You can never knit too many of her patterns
Cumulus shawl in moonlight colour. With some clear beads that have a silver core and would look like dewdrops.
My choice is no. 2 – Winter Shadows Wrap – and because I love Christmas & winter so much, I would choose Cumulus in Ruby Red. It’s such a happy jolly festive colour & the yarn is fabulous.
Definitely the “Il grande favorito”.. it’s simply gorgeous and I’m sure it would be equally satisfying knitting it and wearing it.. :) I find it a bit hard to choose between the Teal and the Moonlight colour options.. but i think I’d go for Moonlight.. :)
The Winter Shadows Wrap is gorgeous and I would love to make that. It’s simple and very, very effective!
Il Grande Favorito in Rust! Yum! :)
I’ve already knit Lisa’s Slushie Cowl and I really love it so I think I would do that again. I already have some Scrumptious 4ply in my stash in Slate so I would use that together with Cumulus in Slate.
Seascape stole
It’s just gorgeous yarn! I’d love to knit Il Grande Favorito in Sea Green.
i’d make a lovely snuggly sweater Il Grande Favorito in the Midnight shade. Just what’s needed for this horrible wild and wet wintry weather.
I absolutely adore #4,Il Grande Favorito,it looks like a warm hug,and I love it in the colour shown,baby blue,fab,fab,fab
I would love to knit the Seascale Stole in Cumulus in the Slate colorway.

First choice is winters Shadow wrap! In the colora shown! But ive wanted to knit a Susanna IC shawl so why not start with Cumulus in Cumulus in tomato red. How vorgeous would that be.
