Net problems

According to Telstra, we will need to wait a further 2-3 weeks for our transfer to take place, so rhe shop will have to remain closed for that time. :( I don't ever remember things being this difficult before. And I have moved a lot. It is like Telstra is deliberately trying to lose me as a customer. But either way, I have my phone, so I can keep you all updated.

Shop will be down.

Ok, so the big move is tomorrow! as a result, the shop will be offline until we get internet back, which may not be until late next week! so, I will see you all on the flip side! wish us luck!

Sales and stuff!

OK! so a quick review of everything that has been happening! Firstly, the direct debit discount sale is finished. There is currently a last minute moving sale on in the shop where every person who orders will get a free skein of yarn and a free packet of stitch markers!

As I forgot to put this up in the blog, I will extend the sale to people who read about this on the blog until tomorrow night (as it is meant to end tonight)- so Thursday, August 23rd, until 9pm. You will have to say in the comments when you place your order that you have come form the blog, so that I can give you your free yarn. :) You will have to get in quick though as I am quickly running out of yarn!

Which brings me to my next piece of news. Once we have completed our move, I will be taking pre-orders for my very first range of self striping sock yarns! This will be done like a club, so you will get more than just yarn with your order ;) I will only have limited places available for this one, so keep your eyes peeled here on the blog, in the shop and on the facebook page for more announcements!

LOVE YOU LONG TIME!

Postage Price Increase

Hi there!

I have some good and some bad news. Firstly the bad news is that I am putting up my domestic shipping cost. The good news is that I am doing it to include tracking. I hope that this will make  shipping more secure. :) After every purchase, customers will be supplied with a copy of their tracking number. Looking forward to speaking to you all soon!

New Colour - Astrid

So the new colour Astrid is very similar to Maeb, but it is different, so I have given it  a new name to stop confusion. Astrid is a repeatable colour and can be dyed on any of the base yarns I have. The yarns below are ready to go now.

New Colourway -Halldorr

I will try and post up whenever I add a new colourway to the store. The newest colour is mottled shades of grey. I have called this yarn Halldorr, which is a Norse name meaning Thor's Rock. All the below yarns are available in the shop. :) It was interesting seeing the way the same dye job turned out on the different yarn bases. :) Hope you like them.

Soliloquy Worsted

So, I've been experimenting with this new fan-dangled Non-superwash worsted, and seeing how it felts up. I am really happy with the results. I dyed up a skein in the soliloquy colour 'druid' and made a project bag. I am not any kind of expert at felting, but it seemed to felt up pretty well with the treatment I gave it. I think someone with more experience could easily felt it up better than I. I have been using the bag too, and it is quite good. overall i think it has been a successful experiment. i am currently making some balls with the left over yarn from the bag, to post in the listings for the yarn. looking pretty good so far. :)


Overall, i've come to the conclusion that this new yarn would be well suited to things like jumpers and other outer wear items, bags, slippers, blankets etc. It seems to me to be a good sort of basic yarn.

Avien's Lick Socks!

I have just seen a beautiful project knitted up in one of the Flibberty Gibbet Yarns!

Knitted by Avien on Ravelry, These wonderful socks make my heart sing!

Shoppe Update

I have some new yarns to go up in the store. So far I have been having some issues getting photos that properly represent the colours of some of the skeins. :/ I need to invest in a light box. :P Next on the list I suppose. I will need to sell more yarn first. :P Otherwise, the yarn is looking nice. There is some 2 ply sock, and some MCN sock. All in solid and semi solid colours. I will be adding more in the next few weeks. Hope people like these colours. Most of these yarns should be repeatable too as I took special care to record many of the dye combinations. It also means that if you see something you like, I can dye you custom quantities in any of the yarns I have in stock. :)

Anyway, check out the store for the updated yarns

A beautiful day for Custom Orders.

Today, I woke up nice and early, with a very good feeling. There was a beautiful sunrise...



Then, I got this feeling that I shouldn't go to uni today because I just KNEW that my packages were all going to arrive today...and low and behold, they did!



CUSTOM ORDERS ARE NOW BACK ON!

I am now taking custom orders of 2 ply sock, MCN sock, Superwash DK merino, Merino Worsted, MCN Aran, DK Half and Half silky merino and BFL Aran.

It's Showtime!

So, I entered 4 hanks of hand spun in this year's New England Show, and I one two first place positions, in 5 ply and 8 ply. :) Feeling pretty good.

Happy new Year!

Well First thing's first! Happy new year!

Secondly, it is TEXTBOOK TIME! That's right! I am having a sale. 20% off EVERYTHING! you just have to put this (TEXTBOOKSALE20) code into the coupon box at the checkout! My texts are going to cost me over $1000 this year so every little bit helps!

Thirdly, my yarns are now being stocked at pinknits! Yay! This is so exciting for me! I don't know how much is likely to sell, but we will see and it is good exposure too!

There are some new stitch markers up in the store today. I will probably not be adding more for a while. I was hoping they would do better, but I guess such is life. :)Click on the image below to see the stitch markers.



Also, the big update I have been planning that was suppose to come late last year/early this year just hasn't happened. I have been so busy. I have been doing quite a few custom orders though, which is good. :) so keep em coming. once finances are a bit better, I hope to do a big order of yarn from the USA and do the big dying project I have been planning for so long...I just need a bit more money. :P

Well I hope the new year is keeping you all busy! I know I am!

A shout out for ECOYARNS!

This is a shout out to Vivian at ECOYARNS.com.au. Not only is she the most amazingly nice person on the planet, but her shop is fabulous! I am utterly addicted to her EcoORGANICS cotton range. It is sooo soft and smooshy and the colour range is phenomenal for a cotton. If you are a fan of cotton, I HIGHLY recommend this cotton. It is worth the investment for something that is going to last, and be super amazingly soft. Click on the images below to go directly to the purchase page!
