Black Sheep Wools Post Box Topper Competition Entries 2024
Fabulous toppers have been popping up on Royal Mail Post Boxes all over the country. To celebrate the makers of these crocheted and knitted masterpieces, we ran a competition this summer and had nearly 100 fabulous entries!
You can see the winners on our Post Box Topper page.
The winners have been chosen by Faz and his team at our local Post Office in Culcheth. They loved being involved in the competition, saying, "This was great fun to judge and we can't believe how clever and imaginative people have been!".
We had lots of other entries too, there are too many to share them all but we wanted to show you a selection. All toppers are a real feat of dedication and engineering and we thoroughly appreciate how much work has gone into them. We hope you enjoy these as much as we did?
