Northstar Alpacas soft alpaca/wool yarn giveaway!






When Halloween rolls around each year, I get a little chill down my spine thinking not of ghosts and ghoulies, but that there is less than 60 days to complete any holiday gift knitting I want to do! Sometimes I have grand plans of spinning luxurious yarn for projects, but oftentimes I rely on the glorious yarns offered by the Phat Fiber box contributors. Northstar Alpacas has very special farm fresh yarns from animals that are lovingly cared for as family pets. The yarn is incredible to work with as well.

While we're on the subject of gift-giving, Maple has stocked lots of hats and socks and already finished items in her shop to make things easier on you! Maybe you see something there that would look great on you, too :)

If you would like to be entered to win this gorgeous alpaca/wool yarn, please visit Northstar Alpacas today, find something you love, and write about it in the comment section below. We'll gladly count a share on your favorite social networking platform as an entry as well!
