The work week is drawing to a close, and it’s been a strange one. My trusty Cardzilla, I fear, is begging for a vacation; after years of incredibly faithful, incredibly hard-working service on a near-daily basis, service far above and beyond the call of mere duty, Cardzilla’s motor’s gearbox is showing signs of wear. This […]

I’ve made it to Friday again, huzzah! This was a hectic-seeming week and production just was not what I had ambitiously planned for at the outset. But I did manage to get all of these up on eBay: …which is to say, some 6 pounds of superwash top, some oddments of very nice fibers, a […]

Spring cleaning time is definitely here. I’m getting ready to do fiber rotation, destashing, and that sort of thing, and I definitely need to make some space because it’s a game of Tetris as it is. So I’m having a SALE! Franquemont Fibers is offering free shipping and 10% off your purchase between today and […]

First, new batts have hit the eBay Store And some murky colours are even included this time. Oh, and if you head on over there to buy something, let me know you arrived via my blog and you’ll get free shipping plus a little extra surprise. On the subject of colour, June asked a little […]

…all on eBay. There are a few others, too. And most of these are more my speed in terms of colours… murkier, I suppose. The bottom right, called Olive Bar, is my favourite this time around. Mmmm, murky purples… I’ve got lots of questions answered coming up shortly! And no, I haven’t finished that pink […]

Well, as February winds down, I’ve got a final round of sock blends for sale, with a last chance at my February specials featuring free shipping on orders of $25 or more, free shipping +5% off $50 or more, and free shipping plus 10% off orders of $100 or more. Where are they, you ask? […]

Well, I finally managed to snap a few photos of the autoknitter swatch of that Crown Jewels colourway yarn: It’s really a challenge to catch a picture that shows both the colours true, and the sheen that the yarn has — it’s just plain the wrong time of year for good natural light. So these […]

I’ve been asked, what do the sock batts spin up like? Here’s an example using one batt of the Crown Jewels Luxury Sock Blend (superwash merino and tussah silk). Top: the batts. Middle: the single. Bottom: the 2-ply sock yarn after washing. This is a 2-ply yarn; the skein came to 145 yards, and weighs […]

Finally! Fresh sock batts up on eBay, and 8 blend samplers as well: 4 each sock blends, 4 each luxury blends. What’s more, the February doldrums call for a revisiting of my November super-specials: $25 gets you free shipping, $50 gets you free shipping and a 5% discount, $100 gets you free shipping and a […]

So, what am I the furthest behind on for January? Sock batts, which I’m actually behind on since December. I blame the whole Tooth Saga, which I am not going to get into in detail for fear of causing other dentistophobes to squick to death. Here’s a little bit of what will be coming up […]
