I’ll be updating this post with the winners as they’re drawn.We had 1712 entrants before 4:30am Eastern, and I’ll be dividing them up into 20 groups. I will draw a winner from each group, and then have a separate drawing to determine which skein they won. Then I’ll have one final drawing from all entrants for the $150 gift certificate. Good luck! I wish I could give everyone a prize. I loved reading your comments. 
The entrants will be divided into 20 groups, and one winner from each group will be drawn. ******BEAR WITH ME, I’M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THE POST NUMBERS CORRECTLY CORRESPOND TO THE GROUPS!*********STILL WORKING. THERE’S A REASON I’M A YARNISTA AND NOT A MATHEMETICIAN. I WANT TO BE FAIR TO EVERYONE!*****
