2016 NatCroMo Blog Tour
Invitation
Yarn dyers and manufacturers, you are invited to provide yarn support to one or more of the 93 crochet designers who will be featured during Crochetville’s fourth annual blog tour in March 2016 in honor of National Crochet Month.
In the past, we have exclusively focused on crochet designers. We are excited to expand the blog tour quite a bit for 2016. Every day of March 2016, the blog tour will feature individual posts promoting:
- 3 crochet designers
- 1 crochet-friendly LYS
- 1 yarn company
- 1 daily giveaway
