Before Christmas I added some "sweater packs" of fibre to the shop, and also did a several custom dyed orders for sweater quantities of fibre. Many of you were enthused by the idea of hand dyed semi solids, and were pleased to see something a little more subtle available.
I have now broken up the remaining 5-braid packs into single braids so that everyone who would like to spin a single braid, perhaps as a lace yarn, can have one to play with. These are all BFL superwash and will spin into an interestingly textured yarn which is quite unlike anything you could buy ready made.
I have put them in the shop. They have the same numbers as before so they don't appear as "new" items.
I have more fibre ready for the shop but I need to get the Club yarns out today and the Fibre Club (I hope) on Saturday or Monday. That has to come first.
Occasionally parcels go missing. They vanish into the ether somewhere. It doesn't happen often, and I always replace them. I rarely go through the rigmarole of claiming for them... in terms of £ per hour the amount of time and effort it takes to claim just isn't worth it.
This morning I had a parcel returned via the Lost Parcels Department in Belfast. It was posted on Nov 18th and the PO claim to have left a card with the intended recipient - who has now moved house and tells me there was a history of "I left a card-ness" at her old address.
It then went to Belfast on Dec 15th for sleuthing. They didn't open the parcel, just the Documents Enclosed sticky, and they sent it back to me.
I emailed the rightful owner and am pleased to say that it is now on the way to her (I hope she has better deliveries now). I would have replaced it before, but she was too polite to tell me it hadn't arrived...
So, a round of applause for the sleuthing department at Belfast, please.
Back to the packing...
