phew where does the time go.

Hmmm where does the time go.

The yarn club is live and I have already had one sale wohoooo it is off to a flying start . Would love to see a couple more sign up before first shipment to make it fun for all. I am also going to do a fiber club, same idea dyed in the inspiration of the birthstone of the month, but you will be able to choose either yes i would love to get the knitting notion of the month or no thanks I am happy with just the fiber.

The PhatFiber box has gone on sale and many photos are going up with pics of my samples in them so I am happy to see that and hoping to see some traffic to the store from there.

AS the summer moves on I have decided to celebrate the 4th of July with my first sale and it is huge. Everything in the store with the exception of Fiber and yarn clubs will be 50% off yes you did indeed read that right. 50% off everything. And if you are on ravelry and part of the group for spunshinefibers. You have a chance to get other free goodies. Invite a friend or 2 to look at the store if the buy they mention your name and rav id in the sellers notes and you will both recieve a free gift.

I have also been working hard one new things for the store. I have new yarns and a new circular needle case along with project bags and stitch markers

I am also very excited as I have a new outlet for my handspun yarns. An alpaca farmer from ALabama is taking my yarns in exchange for lots of lovely fibers. So many lovely and interesting ones. So I am finally starting to look like I may be able to make somewhat of a go of this and am looking eargerly toward the next few months to see what else I can achieve. It is slow but going so I am happy

SO after some serious thinking and planning I am going to do it I am going to start a yarn club.

A few sneaky details, remember it is still in the works.

You will recieve a different weight of yarn each month, enough for a small project, socks hats, mittens, a small shawl etc. You will also recieve another knitting notion, it may be a project bag it may be stitch markers, it will be handmade. You will be able to sign up for 3 month increments. It will have to be paid in advance to ensure I have enough supplies. But it will be fun. There may be extras like small samples of other yarns I carry, interesting knitting things I see on my travels thinsg like that.

I am going to start the club to ready for first shipment in september. This will give me plenty of time to know if it is going to be popuplar enough to have. I will start with 6 spots and hopefully add more if needed later. It is going to be based around birthstone colors. Each birthstone has few different stones and I will choose the inspiration. It may solid it may be semi solid or it may be varigated it will be a surprise each month.

I will start ravelry group for us to talk about the club and hoepfully entice others to join.

Eyes here and we will begin soon.

thinking

I am thinking today of some of the ways I can improve sales and exposure. I am thinking about a sock club. start small with maybe 6 slots and see where it goes. I am thinking of doing a birthstone club, or a foodie club. each month you would recieve a skien of yarn and another thing be it a project bag, some stitch markers, something along those lines. perhaps even a wine themed thing. just throwing some thoughts around at the moment.

Samples sent

I have managed to get all my samples dyed, labeled, packaged and sent out. They are now with Jessie and the PhatFiber team to place in boxes and ship when ready. I am so excited to hear what everyone thinks about them. The theme this month was Mid summer Nights Dream and the color way I dyed up was called " Midnight Parfait." A pretty blend of blues and pinks and purples.

I am hoping this will yeild one or two sales and will be a good start for SpunShineFibers. Being part of this group gives me many advertising opportunities not only from people who buy the boxes but from people who sign up for the email alerts and therefore get into the site. As well as youtube video showing a sneak preview, and a button linked to my store on their contributor site. This could be really good.

I am plannning on sending in samples as often as I can. And am looking forward to getting things to gether for next months theme.
