Jayne update
The list proceeds apace. At this point, everybody who was promised a hat by Christmas has had theirs mailed to them, and now I’m working on the people from mid-November who I told might get theirs by Christmas. That’s a good feeling.
Unfortunately, I’m still having to turn kit orders away. I have enough earflap red for my current finished hat customers, but not enough to supply everyone who wants a kit. I’m still waiting for a big shipment from the mill. I placed this order in July and they’ve only just spun up the color that I need. They spin each color a couple of times a year, and while I still had plenty in July and thought it would carry me through, I thought they’d be spinning more in October. Apparently I misjudged. I’ve been getting skeins piecemeal from other suppliers.
The last word from the mill was that they spun it late last week and shipped it, but it went to the wrong address. They say it should arrive today. We all know what the mail is like around Christmas, so I’m not counting my yarn cones until they’re hatched.
All I want is 6000 yards of earflap red yarn. Is that so wrong?
ETA: later this day, my red came in. Yay!
