The competition opens on Sunday!

Fibre craft shop Beaker Button is situated in a the lovely Fairground Craft and Design Centre, which until the 1950’s was the sight of one of the largest sheep fairs in the country.  The whole site is enclosed by a 2 metre high white chalk and plaster wall, running for 136 metres along the Weyhill road, and we thought it would be fun to have a competition to cover the wall with yarn.  The rules are simple.

Each piece should measure 50 cm x 50 cm and be made from yarn.  You can knit, crochet or weave, and you can embellish with whatever you like, as long as your base is yarn.  Each entry costs £2.00, with the proceeds going to our local Riding for the Disabled group, who the Fairground are supporting this year. 

The winners will be chosen by us and a representative from the RDA.

1^st prize will be £100 voucher for Beaker Button

2^nd prize will be £50 voucher for Beaker Button

3^rd Prize will be £25 voucher for Beaker Button

The competition runs from April 1^st to July 31^st.  The finished piece will be displayed for photographs in August and then turned into throws and auctioned at our Michaelmas Fair in September.
