2 bags of yarn have just been sent to Norway!
Its lovely to think that there are people out there that are interested in what us British Indie dyers are doing.

Round 13

Well, there it was gone!
This round sold 40 bags in less than 24 hours - not bad going really. Some of these have gone to various places in Europe including Denmark, Germany, Italy, France, The Netherlands plus all over the UK and many were new to Fibreholics.
We only had petite fibre and yarn and really need to encourage more people to send in samples as there is definitely a requirement for bags of yarn and fluff!!
We have already discussed whether or not labour intensive mini skeins win over balls - not sure it really matters either way just as long as we get the samples in!!
Do you know of anyone who would be interested? The added bonus is that you get paid for every sample sold on top of getting your samples out to a wider audience.



Just a teaser, these are what have gone out in the fibre bags from MandaCrafts. Hoping to get an update done for the Etsy shop later today, which will include among other fibres some of the BFL humbug. Don't forget if you buy a fibre bag and would like to buy some more fibre, use your discount code for this round to get 10% off any fibres from MandaCrafts Etsy shop!

July Round Update from ColourfulDesigns



Yarn contribution for this round is DK weight SW Merino.
Colourways (from Left->right) 'Vampire', 'Twightlight', 'New Moon' and 'Forest'.
These don't quite meet the 'ice cream flavours' theme for this round, but you like variety right?

10% discount for all yarn and fibre orders including the discount code you will find on your fibreholics invoice.

These yarns will be in stock in a couple of days time, at £8/100grams for a limited time (you get your discount off that, so £7.20 with the code).

I will have fibre for next next round, feel free to contact me through my website, ColourfulDesigns.co.uk or message me on Ravelry as NinjaBex if you have anything you'd like to see fibre wise in the next fibreholics bags!

NEXT ROUND

Just to let everyone know that there will be a slight delay in the start of this next round - why? because it appears that the postman wants to keep all the parcel for himself (I suspect a closet knitter!) Since they closed the little sorting office at the back of the local PO and moved it to the nearest larger version things have never been right! One round I actually went and collected 17 bags from there - and no I didn't have a little red slip as they hadn't even attempted to deliver any of them.

So! The round will hopefully go live on the 7th of July but will keep everything updated re the release date!
