Of course inquiring minds want to know, how many yards were on that huge gold cone at the Yarn Crawl last weekend??
A whopping 7,988 yards!!
Granted, this was a bit of a toughie, because the yarn on this cone is pure rayon, a remarkably heavy fiber when it's wound up this thick, which affects how many yards it yields per pound.
Astonishingly, out of hundreds of guesses that were turned in, the three closest winners all put exactly the same answer: 8,000. Nice work!!
So congratulations to Renate Yerkes, Given, and Jeanne Salt, our three winners, who get their pick of the three books that were generously donated to the prize pool: Modern Top-Down Knitting, Last Minute Knitted Gifts, and A Knitter's Home Companion.
And a big congrats as well to Susan Cackler, the winner of our truly spectacular raffle basket!
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to support the Portland Yarn Crawl last weekend; it was such an awesome mix of old familiar faces and brand new ones stopping in for the first time!

I love doing the NYC Yarn Crawl! Now, after reading about yours, I can't wait till ours happens again.
I know! I've never gotten to participate as a crawler, but it looks like a blast from this side of the counter :)
I hope to participate next year. Hope you still are holding the coffee coupon from your anniversary party if not I would completely understand.
Yep, if you won one of the raffle prizes and haven't claimed it yet, we still have it here behind the desk. Just come on in during business hours to pick it up :)
