stuff mondays - cleckheaton wool packs

It has officially ticked over to winter, which means it's perfectly acceptable to spend every day with a deliciously cosy beanie plonked firmly on your head. At last! Aside from keeping you toasty warm and being the perfect cover for not-so-fresh locks, the best part about beanie season is an excuse to whip out your knitting needles and get clickity-clacking.

In the interest of keeping your noodle snug and crafty fingers busy, we've got five packets of Cleckheaton Country 8 ply to give away, each containing 10 balls of wool in a rainbow of colours. That's enough to knit a medley of beanies to rotate through during the week, or a handful of woolly pressies for your chums if you're feeling a little generous. Just pop us through an email here with your name and address and Cleckheaton in the header.

If you need a spot of inspiration before you cast on, there's a nifty pattern to download for nix at cleckheaton.com.au, with a measly 40 colourways to choose from. Have a peep at their oh-so-cute stop-motion vid to the left for a few examples of the finished products.
