Count the Koigu Contest

by Craig on January 7, 2009

Over the last two days, we counted everything in the shop. The yarn, the books, the patterns, the needles, the notions, the accessories – and entered it all back into the POS system. So that you can have some fun with counting yarn too, here’s our first ever contest! Announcing…the Count the Koigu Contest!

Koigu Yarn on the shelf

Here’s a picture of the Koigu KPM and KPPPM yarn on the shelf. There are more hanks behind the ones you can see and there’s another 30% or so in the back room. Guess how many hanks of Koigu we counted during inventory and write your guess in the comments of this post. The person who guesses the closest without going over will receive 2 hanks of Koigu in the color of their choice.

We’ll close the comments on Friday morning at 11 and announce the winner that day.

Good luck!
