The Best Laid Plans

In 2021 I posted a couple of articles outlining changes to my shop and business plan. The second post talked about how I planned to focus only on one colorway at a time, among other things.

In practice, some of those plans didn’t work out. I ended up feeling like I wanted to provide a variety of colorways all the time so I never did focus on dyeing only one colorway per month. And then! I found a course that seemed perfect for helping me really focus my business and get things on the right track. So dyeing ended up going to the back burner while I worked on the course. It was actually a great decision. The things I’ve learned so far have been invaluable.

I also decided that the shop website I had wasn’t going to cut it anymore, and put a LOT of time into redesigning it into what you see now. I am much happier with the site overall and will keep working to improve it as time goes on.

New Shipping options

Best of all! Recently, I switched shipping vendors. Instead of having to drive an hour each way to reach the vendor (and only being able to do so on Fridays), I can now ship basically immediately (within 1-3 business days).

BONUS: I now offer vacuum sealed shipping to Canadian customers on orders weighing up to 500g. Vacuum sealed shipping does not come with tracking but you save a bundle on cost instead. If you prefer to have tracking, a regular parcel option is still available too.

New! SOCK KITS

What’s the biggest change in the shop? I now offer SOCK KITS! Get a full 100g skein and a 20g mini in predetermined combos for less than the cost of buying the skeins individually. I plan to widen my offerings of sock kits as time goes on, as fingering weight yarn is where I’ll be putting my focus now.
