2016 Yarn Box sign ups are now available over on the blog. These are limited to 20 for each box (if this goes over the limit, I will let you know and put you on the reserve list). Hopefully there's something for everyone! I will be making the whole 20 each time with an excess going onto Etsy once the box has been posted/unveiled. https://theyarntreeblog.wordpress.com/2015/11/05/2016-yarn-box-sign-ups (Clickable link on Facebook page) Mel xx #yarntreeuk #theyarntreeuk #yarnbox #yarnboxes #yarnclubs #yarnclub
