SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

The samples for round 5 are all in and there are some new contributors and some stunning colour combinations. Will try and post some photos - they just make you want to create beautiful things.

There will be 15 Voluptuous bags of fibre, 11 petite bags offibre, 11 Voluptuous bags of yarn and 15 Petite bags of yarn up for grabs. The newsletter could be going out with the information for the early buyers date and the official on sale date for every one else will be 1st April - with all bags being sent out the Tuesday after Easter.

Fibreholics will have been formed for nearly a year - perhaps we should celebrate and make the next round a birthday one!

Round 5 coming soon!

The last round sold out with such speed it was quite breathtaking.

This round is titled 'Spring' so there will be lots of rich new colours and anyone not on the mailing list who wants to buy should sign up to get advance notification of the release date - we are hoping to have an editorial in The Knitter this month and that could mean even more wanting to buy.

Our mailing list is live

We've had some fantastic support here at Fibreholics since we started and it's fantastic that everyone else is as excited about this as we are! We're often asked if we have a mailing list so people can hear about when the next box is ready so, we're pleased to announce that the mailing list is ready for business.

It's really easy to use, just click on the little button below (there's one at the top of the page too), enter your email address and click subscribe. You'll be sent an email asking you to confirm whether you want to receive our newsletter, if you say yes then you'll be added to the list.


We'll be sending out the first newsletter just before the next round of boxes is launched so if you want to be the first to know when the next box will be released, then sign up here.

The Bear Necessities samples

I was all Halloween inspired when I was dyeing this time around so round 3 from The Bear Necessities is a new colour - the witching hour. Ten each of BFL fibre and mini skeins of Merino/nylon sock yarn.

Green Eyed Monsters sneek peak - and an idea for your samples!

These are just some of this month's Green Eyed Monsters samples, which include fibre, handpainted sock yarn and handspun yarn.

And I've just posted a quick pattern/tutorial over on the Green Eyed Monsters blog for this little knitted flower. It only takes a few yards of yarn, making it idea for your samples!
