This is our second giveaway of this round. If you haven't entered the Fiber Curio giveaway, make sure to add that to your to-do list.
We have a gorgeous extremely rare breed yarn from Queen Conch to giveaway today. I copied the following from her sale page because I love the details of this yarn:
"This gorgeous, deep rich chocolately brown woolen yarn is from the Alpine Bavarian districts of Germany. Family owned farms and co-ops committed to the salvation of this breed process and spun by hand at small production studios. Taken from the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry: Level of danger: Nearly extinct. The heritage sheep are black with faded tips producing a rich brown. This rustic yarn is ideal for fantastic warn ethnic knits and beautiful stitch definition in Scandinavian,texture, color work or cables."
Winners will be drawn for all current giveaways in this round on February 20th at 6pm.
