I'm not known for being a patient person, but this pandemic has definitely taught me to just let it go when it comes to promised timelines. After all, we have no control over Customs and federal changes and regulations, nor do I want to be responsible for any of it. But I would like importing to be a bit easier. Just a tad, thankyouverymuch.
What has arrived? Well, part of our gorgeous order from Fleece Artist of Nova Scotia. AND (drumroll please....) the five CHRISTMAS COLORS from UK's West Yorkshire Spinners.
Last week we sold out of the first part of our Fleece Artist order in a matter of days - all those gorgeous thrummed mitten kits. I do have more on order and while Jana and team will get those out the door in the next week, it could be another six weeks before they actually arrive. But what just arrived was more of their Cottage Sock, which is a wonderful superwash merino/nylon. It's plied in a way that gives it a bit more squish and longevity than you typically see. And the colors are divine.
Here are just a few - Hibiscus above, Tourmaline and Corsica below.
This stuff is quite a deal at $25, as the exchange rate did us a bit of good. Instead of $30, it's like getting $5 off here in the US. BONUS!
And if you are one of the hundred or so people that wanted these West Yorkshire Spinners colors that sold out super fast last fall, they are back. If you e-mailed me asking to know when they were back, I e-mailed you today. Holiday are wanted year round, so I'll do my best to keep them around. But if the past ten months of owning a small business has taught me anything it's "do your best, but expect the unexpected." So here are all the five colors, and they each come with their own free pattern if you just respond to your e-mailed receipt and ask for it. Now that they are back, I don't feel bad about snagging a couple for myself. Ha!
So pretty! Ummm so many pretty colors this week. I am not saying how many orders have gone in this week. I should stop looking but.... see you soon hoping sneaking in a little Christmas all year round could end up with a nice gift pile.
