That's so exciting to win something. I never win things. Now, I need some help since I don't know anything about CPY Yarns. None of the LYS around here sell it. So I need opinions from "those in the know" about what I should pick as my prize. (Though I'm sure they are all fabulous anyway!)
Thanks again for letting me be part of your KAL. I love them (and loved the sock KAL). Thanks for such generous donators of yarn to this KAL also. Such a great Christmas present!

If you like to knit socks, their sock yarns are wonderful!! Since I prefer non-wool sock yarn, I love their Panda Cotton, Panda Soy and Maizy (made of corn). The Panda Silk is also wonderful made of bamboo, wool and silk.
You can see all the yarns here:

The non-wool yarns are a little more splitty than wool so if you prefer wool, their Mini Mochi is really nice with the long color changes similar to Noro. I haven't tried it yet, but the projects I've seen knit with it are beautiful (just scroll through this blog)!
Those are some of my personal favorites!!
it's "all good!" really. i think your choice depends on what you want to knit.
i love the mini mochi for scarves and the shawlettes... panda superwash and the silk for socks. i do have a preference for wool over the cotton and soy but that is just me. i haven't knit with the soy yet.
In worsted weight, I think the Taos colorways are really lovely, and they keep adding to them! I've made some cute baby hooded towels with the cotton chenille, and also a cuddly washable baby blanket with bamboozle. I liked them all!
