Win 10 skeins of Encore Worsted, read on for details.
Ok, I’ll admit it; I read the 50 Shades of Grey book series. My friends read it, my sister read it, my niece read it, my boss read it, and last but not least, my mom read it! (I’m pretty sure I won’t be accompanying her to the movies when that one comes out.)
Last week, I was chatting with a knitter looking to make a chevron blanket with various shades of grey Encore Worsted. As I searched in my computer system, I realized just how popular grey is, and that we have many, many shades of it. So for some fun this week, I decided to give away a bag but I am going to make your work for it! Give us your best guess to the questions below. One person, with the closest answers, will win 10 balls of Encore Worsted color 389. Comment with your answers to our Blog ONLY. Facebook and Twitter entries will not be accepted. In the event of multiple correct comments, a winner will be chosen among them at random. Plymouth Yarn employees, sales representatives and their immediate families are not eligible to win. Data on number of shades is collected from inventory reports. Winner will be notified via email on August 3rd 2012.
1. How many shades of grey yarn are active in our inventory?
2. How many shades of red?
3. How many black yarns are active in our system?
Have fun and happy guessing.
Here’s my guesses
grey – 65
red – 63
black – 50
16, 23, 5
72,77,46 But I would not be surprised if these were all low.
grey – 140
red -135
black – 80
okay heres my guesses:
gray: there are 101 shades possible, I would guess most people wold know about 25, knitters probably more
Red: there are 285 shades of red, I think most people could think of 80
Black: black is a tone, not a shade, thus there would be one shade of black
Please disregard my previous post – I totally misunderstood the questions: Ok, here are my corrected answers. My numbers include Encore yarns that are multi-colored also.
Gray: 12 gray, 12 gray-mix
Black:Even though I still believe there is only one shade of black, you have 8 black yarns and 21 black-mixed
Red: 17 reds, 24 red mixed.
Ok, I have done two kinds of research for you. That should make me the winner. I’m probably still screwed up. lol
My guess is: Black-80, Red 120, grey 160. Maybe!
Grey: 102, red: 45, black: 72
50 shades of gray
45 of Red
35 shades of Black
Gray-40
Red-60
Black-170
my guesses
64- greys
78- blacks
136- reds
Truly is a guess…
65 shades of gray
25 shades of red
92 black yarns
My guess would be…
60 shades of grey
80 shades of red
40 black
Purely guessing: Grey 75, Red 56 and Black 25
It is niot clear if you mean just Encore worsted inventory, or all of your yarns.
If just Encore workted I’m guessing Grey:28, Red: 41 Black: 13
42 gray
54 red
27 black
