My first sale wohooo

I made my very first etsy sale this week. It was super exciting to see that little blinking light telling . I am very excited to see and hear what becomes of the fiber I sent out.

I have been working hard on background things this week, graphics and banners photos etc for the upcoming (fast) Phat Fiber box. I am going to submit samples for junes box, the theme this time around is Midsummer Nights dream one of my fav plays so lots to think about for colors.

I am hoping to get yarn for that this week have it dyed and sent out by early the folowing week, will be sure to post pics for you to see a preview before it goes to the box.

I am also hoping to be able to make it to the city this coming weekend to talk with Jenny in SF knitting supply about the possiblity of my teaching there. i have not taught since I have been in CA and miss it alot, always fun to work with people and give them a sense of accomplishment, skills are not hard just learned. I am hoping she will like the way I teach and find a spot for me.

Not alot more news so I will sign off.

keep checking the store new things being added all the time.

ANd the cashmerino sock wow wow wow it is soft and so lovely done up in skeins of 435yrds plenty for that luxury pair of socks or a beautiful shawl, or pehaps smething special for the new baby in your life.

coming soon

I have just placed an order for some yummy new things. be on the look out for Bamboo Merino spinning fiber and all it has to offer. Bamboo takes the dyes very differently to merino and has a wonderful sheen and softness, I am excited to see what I can do with that. And Cashmerino sock yarn, sock strong and gorgeous. This will be my premium sock yarn base. It will be coming out at around $22 a skein but should be lovely.

So we now wait for the mail man and hopefully new stuff by the end of the week. keep checking back to see new colors about to hit the store. Also I will be posting about 5 skeins of handspun sometime this week.

New News News

I am soo excited. My yarns and fibers are now being carried in a yarn store in the city. Jenny from SF kntting supply has decided to take a risk and try out carrying my yarns in her store. This is a huge opportunity for me and my new venture. I have a total of 26 yarns and 14 fibers currently on sale there. The store offers many classes for all levels and is in great location right by the beach and not far from the zoo so you can make a day of the visit

I am hoping that this will be a great success for both of us.
