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!

Sent off this week....

This little lot went off down to Carol this week; I managed to get it all repackaged and sorted the day after Woolfest.

If you look carefully in the top left corner, there is a small cat under all that - he was determined not to move as the packets built up behind me.

NEXT ROUND

The date for the next round is July 1st - my birthday!!! easy to remember.

This round has a general theme of ice - cream flavours so there could be any range of colours in there.

If you haven't got your name on the mailing list (this gives you prior notice that the round is going live) then visit the Fibreholics Uk website.

Round 10 Spoilers from MandaCrafts

Round 10 Spoiler from MandaCrafts

This time there is a mix of wool and soybean samples in there!

So, Falklands wool top in ‘Passion for Purple’

and Soy tops in ‘Flame’

I’ll make sure to list some of each on Etsy for the 1st February. If you are interested you’ll have to be quick though, as I’m going to be away, so the shop will close on the 4th and re-open on the 21st. As usual there will be 10% discount on fibre orders whenever the shop is open in February, just put your Fibreholics code in the message box.

Round 9 from My Heart Exposed Yarns

Round 9 from My Heart Exposed Yarns : a loose theme for this round is Seasonal Movies so my teenage daughter Angelica and I have based the names for your fibre samples on one of our favourite movies "Back to the Future". Everything is included from Doc Brown's "Great Scott!", 1985 to the Clock Tower, a range of fibres, corriedale, falkland, super fine merino and my own personal favourite from the British rare breed of sheep Shropshire. I wonder which one you will enjoy in amongst your samples?

We had a lot of fun with these so hope you love your fibre too. Each one comes wrapped in a neat little parcel, a little silver heart charm attached to the plait inside which we give as a special little keepsake for you to say thank you for trying our fibres.

I very much look forward to seeing your finished projects made with these samples. You can connect with me on Ravelry as myheartexposed or leave a comment on the MHE Yarns Facebook fan page.

Wishing all of you a wonderful December and end of year celebrations, hope the new year brings you everything you wish for and more.

All our love as always,

Helen & Angelica
