Testimonials about our yarn

GRAND PRIZE WINNER

It's our 10th anniversary, and we wouldn't be here this long without you, our dear customer. For our February Grand Prize Giveaway, we asked our customers to submit what they love about our yarn.  Geri was our winner. Here is her story. 

Geri Kuster's Eternity's Braids.

Yarn: Robin’s Promise Two Sparrows DK, 6 skeins 
Color: African Firefinch Feather
Pattern: Eternity’s Braids by Susan Dickerson 

Why I loved it: I have always wanted a red outer garment, and when I first purchased my original two skeins of African Firefinch Feather, I knew I wanted to save this special color for a truly special project. Soon afterward, Susan published Eternity Braids.

Shortly after the new year, I cast on my first stitches feeling a bit overwhelmed by my first cabling project. 2025 became a tumultuous year for my family, but I methodically worked my 22 repetitions of the 24 row repeat despite several large breaks from knitting. The bright red inspired by this tiny feathered songstress kept me knitting despite my setbacks.

Eventually, I completed my beautiful red poncho just in time to visit my 92-year-old mother for Christmas. I love the versatility of the poncho and have received many compliments from family and friends.

TOP 10 WINNERS

Lane McClain-Rowe's Twitch.

Yarn: 10-mini-skein Pheasant kit, Songbird Fingering 2 skeins

Color: Sparrow's Breast
Pattern: Twitch (size A) by Kim McBride Evans


Why I loved it: Robin’s Promise yarn is proof that you can have it all. The yarn quality is excellent. I’ve never had any trouble with splitting, snapping, or untwisting while using any weight or blend. The cashmere blends are deliciously soft, but even the blends without cashmere are luscious. And the colors are fantastic! Whether you want vibrant and bold or subtle and soft (or both, in the case of this project) there is a colorway (or 10!) for you. The vast array of options has made Robin’s Promise my go-to for when I’m looking for a specific shade, the last color I need to round out my project, or any time I need inspiration.

My Twitch project was such a delight to work on, owed entirely to the wonderful yarn I got to work with. I remain OBSESSED with the entire Pheasant Collection and having made one sweater with it has done nothing to quench that excitement. I’m already planning on a second project with the Pheasant Mini Kit. What I might love most is how many options there are for mixing and matching yarns within the collection; this Twitch with Sparrow’s Breast allows the Pheasant collection to really pop against a soft background, but when I use Black Ice, the colors work to make a much more dramatic look— even with the same pattern!
