PAY TO ENTER CONTEST: open to anyone. Do NOT have to be on a team to enter.
The LONGEST One Gram Slam.
For your $8 entry you will be sent 1 gram of carefully weighed Corriedale/merino RAW locks. The wool is from a coated sheep, no VM but I recomend brushing out tips before washing to remove any possible fragile tips. You may wash, prep, even dye it if you like before the start at Noon on Feb 22nd. BUT Spinning can only be done during the week of competition. This MUST be spun into a 2 ply yarn. This yardage should be included on your individual totals also if spinning on a team.
You need to mail the 2 ply yarn to me ASAP. I will physically measure all entries. The plan is to measure all at the same time against each other, and video the action!
I will not be returning the yarn entries, they will be plied together and use as lanyards for The Spindy 500 medals!
Prizes for this competition will be medals and Corriedale/Merino RAW locks, amounts will depend on # of entries.
Competition will be limited to 30 entries, but may be able to extend that if enough interest.
Mailing your entries: Your fiber will be sent USPS in a business envelope. Your 2 ply yarn can be sent in as a ball, tied skein, wrapped, how ever you want. BUT wrapping your yarn on a card will most likely be your safest and cheapest shipping.
