Nundle Woollen Mill Search for the "Most Creative YARNISTA" Challenge

Nundle Woollen Mill's Search for

the Most Creative YARNISTA Challenge.

Do you LOVE knitting, crochet or wool based projects?

The Nundle Woollen Mill is on the search to find the "Most Creative YARNISTA".  The response to our "Win the Nundle wools used on Magda Sayeg's yarn-bombed tree at The Strand" on Facebook was so encouraging, it seemed a shame to award the 9 balls of wool to just ONE winner.  There were so many great ideas!

So here's your chance to unleash your creativity.  Make a COMMENT on our Facebook post, in 25 words or less, state what you would create, and why you should win the 9 balls of Nundle Wool and the opportunity to create an imaginative submission in our "Most Creative YARNISTA" challenge.  

The 9 individuals with the most Facebook LIKES against their COMMENT will win the 9 balls of Nundle yarn and the opportunity to compete in the "Most Creative Yarnista" competition.  (SHARE our post and encourage your friends and family to LIKE our Facebook page and your COMMENT!)  

The 9 Finalists will then have 5 weeks to create a creative submission and mail it to the Nundle Woollen Mill. The submissions will be photographed and uploaded to Facebook. Facebook fans will again be invited to vote by casting a LIKE. The knitter with the most LIKES against their submission will be awarded the honour of "Most Creative Yarnista" and will win a $250 Gift Certificate to the Nundle Woollen Mill store in Nundle or online.

Do you have what it takes?  If so, register by stating what you would create & why you should be considered in a COMMENT.  You must read our Conditions of Entry first (see below), as there are some rules, requirements and deadlines you need to be aware of before agreeing to participate.    

Good Luck!
