I'll be contacting the winners individually to let them know of their good fortune and get their mailing addresses. Thanks to everyone who participated in the sale and drawing - it was so fun!

What's coming up...
Mark your calenders for our day-after-Thanksgiving blowout. This will be our last sale of the year and a great time to stock up on gift tags and even some last minute yarn and fiber buys for holiday gift giving. Or, if you're like me, for the selfish knitting kick you immerse yourself in every year on December 25th! This sale will include some free yarn giveaways so keep your eyes peeled. We'll post more details here the week of the sale, or if you'd like the information to come to you, sign up for our Newsletter to receive emails every month or so with information about new products and upcoming sales.

Phat Fiber Giveaway Drawing

Hi phatties! Thanks for tuning in as we announce the winner of the full sized Dances With Wolves Sock Yarn Cinema package.

(August's Phat Fiber Box was themed "Meet Me at the Fair" so of course, we did a Sock Yarn Cinema package of yarn and goodies based on the musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Everyone who received one of our Phat samples was entered into a "raffle" for a full sized SYC package.)

And the winners are....

Ticket #0944002
