Oops.  We said we'd tone it down a bit since last time we punched you in the face with colour, but we've done it again!  We hope you Yarn Club subscribers love it.  We promise next month will be tame ;)
 
Below is the yarn info and a link to a pattern which we think would be fun for this month's yarn.

Pour une septième année consécutive, DIAGONALE organise son exposition bénéfice de fin d’année. Plus de cent artistes ont généreusement répondu à l’appel du JAUNE, afin de soutenir le Centre et de faire rayonner la fibre en art actuel. Leurs œuvres originales sont vendues par encan silencieux. La moitié du prix de vente ira à l’artiste et l’autre moitié ira à DIAGONALE sous forme de don. Collectionneurs, amateurs et curieux, venez voir ce que la fibre vous réserve!

En plus de soutenir des artistes passionnés, cette opération de collecte de fonds est vitale pour assurer la pérennité financière
du Centre et tout particulièrement cette année. En effet, grâce au programme Placement Culture du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, les dons qui résulteront de la vente seront triplés par le gouvernement.  Un bon moyen de se faire plaisir et
d’encourager l’art actuel!
Prix de départ : 100 $
Paiement par chèque ou
argent comptant
Fin de l’encan : 3 décembre, à 15 h
