Comment from Bill Schott
This supernatural story, The Piece of Yarn, is a fun alternative to keep a child happy, especially if one is feeling less special than they ought.

This is a good story but I felt some of the dialogue was a bit wooden like the start hook between the girl and her father. Plus, you have opted words that are needed to make the sentences make sense. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing. Have a good weekend.

I love this yarn, Iza! It is just the sort of tale a father might spin to his daughter, full of fun and mystery. It is so much more comforting to be curled up in front of the fire in a tight ball than to come with no strings attached.

This was an easy and engaging read. I wonder about the word "hunt" in the fourth line from the bottom--did you mean 'hunt' or 'haunt'?
Best wishes.

This is a cute, personalized take on the old stork bringing the babies story, and I think it captures something of the personalities of your family, that sense of humor. It also connects that work ethic through generations, that labor of love that is the bedrock of all families. Interesting take on the old fairy tale estory

Comment from LJbutterfly
Wow! This story is so unusual and creative. I was held spellbound, wondering what the dad would say next. The little girl was mailed to her dad as a piece of yarn. I am shocked. This story HAS to win. Best wishes in the contest.

Hi thank you so much for taking a chance on this little story. Unfortunately we didn't won, but we made it to the 3rd place:)
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
That's quite a yarn you've told us! Engaging story and I appreciate the large font, as sometimes these things are hard to read.
There were some punctuation issues, but I believe another reviewer pointed that out.
Good luck with the contest.

Comment from sandra roth
I liked the way it was written. It was easy to follow and flowed nicely. the ending was cute and left it open for another story or an addition to this one. had a cute ending. The idea was different, which made it unique. some of it might be a little confusing if it was written as a children's story, but still enjoyable.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
What a great "yarn baby" tale.
Several observations:
Para 4, 1st sentence: I haven't seen (Yay) spelled with an (e) before but maybe it's not a problem.
Para 4, 3rd sentence: Add paragraph space after (dad.")
Para 6, 6th sentence: Need a closing quotation mark after (said:) This to close from the opening quotation mark before (No!)
Para 8, 1st sentence: Need space between (mumbled.) and (")
Para 10, 3rd sentence: Change (where) to (were)
Para 13, 1st sentence: Add (that) between (is) and (possible)
Para 15, 1st sentence: Change (that) to (than)
So that' where they come from. I would have never guessed.
Funny story

That was interesting - and definitely very different from the usual, which makes it refreshing to read. I like the connection between yarn and a story which is a yarn. Best wishes.
