This yarn is one of my most popular colorways, Americana. What better way to celebrate Kris Allen being the American Idol than with Handspun Americana. It's all American, and all free!

This yarn was handspun from this hand painted roving:
Special thank you to all who voted for Kris Allen. It's reported 38 million votes came out of Arkansas on Tuesday night. Shesh! Now if we could only vote to make the Arkansas Razorbacks win all their football games next year.
Best of luck to all who enter this giveaway. This yarn is almost as "Kick Awesome" as Kris Allen. ♥
Pictures of Kris Allen were taken during his hometown performance in May 2009.
That so awesome, no I mean Kick Awesome! I decided to go ahead and be the first comment because I know they never win :)
