As you all know, my dear friend terri is taking part in the Great North Run in October to raise money towards the Toby Henderson Trust . I've been wanting to do something special to help her, and I hope I've come up with something unique.

This is a skein of Yarn Yard Merino Tencel yarn ( 50%merino, 50% tencel, 100g, 330m, handwash ) in a one off never to be repeated colour - it's called Jasmine Very Happy the colours used by n all reflect the natural colours of Jasmine. It's so beautifully soft I can't tell you, and I almost wish I could bid on it myself Wink . The yarn has a lovely sheen to it, and the colour on my screen is a true represntation of the colours IRL

Also included are these beautiful stitchmarkers made by Paula last year. I've been saving them for a special occasion, and can't think of anything more special than this.





The Auction will end at 10:00 pm on Thursday 16th August to enable me to get postage details from the successful bidder and post before I go away. Postage is included.

And I can't bid for it either.
Just to be clear, I designed the yarn, but Aknita has bought it from me, so please don't think I have donated it.... this is all down to Aknita's generosity, not mine!
