Meg got cone 1 (purple) and Esmae got cone 2 (brown).
I think it is an interesting result as both of them have family and friends in affected areas, New Zealand and Japan!
The lovely, crafty and independent Catherine helped pick the winners, so thank you very much but most of all, thank you everyone for your generosity and we raised A$240 towards the appeal.

Help Japan
A lot has happened in the last month and at times, I find it hard to comprehend. I am glad to hear that my friends in affected places are safe and ok, both in flood and earthquake areas.
I can no longer just sit there and watch the news. I need to do something and would really like to be able to donate LOTS of money but that is a bit beyond my means at present.
However, I have yarn.
I have decided to put up 2 cones of wool/stainless steel yarn for giveaway. They were bought from Avril when I was visiting Japan.
Cone 1:
Avril M3500 wool/stainless steel, colour #75 purple, approx 60g (2 oz)
Cone 2:
Avril M3500 wool/stainless steel, colour #2997 kogecha (dark brown), approx 60g (2 oz)
This is the same as:
Habu wool/stainless steel yarn item #: A-148 1/17.6 wool stainless steel
