I have been rather quiet lately. There is a reason.
I have a secret, and I’m going to share it with you.
Are you sitting down?
Are you ready?

I want to start a yarn business.
“Well that’s not news”, you say. “You revealed a bit of that on Day 30 of your 30 Day Blogging Challenge, last month.”
And that is true. Absolutely true. However- I had a tickle of an idea, then. Now?
NOW– ideas are flooding in.
NOW– I have a tentative start date (September 2017).
NOW– I’m taking classes to do this the correct way (or at least to minimize the potential for failure).
I may have to forgo participation in NaNoWriMo this year, because I have THREE classes lined up for November. One in Creative Writing, one in Design, and one in Korean. That last one has nothing to do with the yarn business, so to speak- I’ve just become very rusty and I wanted to brush up.
And I thought I was done with having to do homework…
For now- I leave you with my VERY FIRST hand-dyed skein of yarn- dyed last Saturday.
Ladies and gentleman- I present to you:
Shamrock
It’s move vibrant in person, than in the photo. I need to build a lightbox to fix my ongoing lighting issues…
My favorite color is green so I’m delighted with Shamrock 🙂 Congrats!
Ooh congrats! Can’t wait to hear more. (And I wish I could squish that skein right now…)
Then hang in there. Next year (ack- that’s only a few months away!!!) I plan to give away a bunch of skeins of yarn to people who will make something out of them. That’s right- I’ll be looking for pictures!!!
Ahhhh! Congrats!!! What a cool idea and good for you for following your dreams!! When you start selling skeins i am sooooo buying some!
Congratulations! Green is one of my two favorite colors…right after purple 🙂 That one definitely looks squishalicious!
It’s 100% superwash merino wool. Very squishable. Hubby claimed it immediately, so I will have to make him something from it. Green is his favorite color, too. 🙂
How very exciting!!!
What?!?! This is amazing! What an exciting new venture for you! Tell us more!
Yay!! Congrats!! Can’t wait to get more details. The yarn is gorgeous, by the way!
Yay sign me up!!
Exciting times ahead for you
Exciting!!! And I love your first skein – greens (and blues) are my thing. 🙂 If you’re on FB and looking for a positive yarn-related business support group, I highly recommend the FiberBoss Collective with KnitFitch! I’ve learned a lot from the group though I haven’t had much to contribute.
Thanks! I’ll check that out!
CONGRATULATIONS good luck as you follow your heart, I wish you all the best for your new venture ~ Shamrock looks superb 🙂
What a gorgeous shade of green! Maybe we will be able to work together – yarn companies need designers. 😉
Two enthusiastic thumbs up on that suggestion!!
Good for you! And the yarn is fantastic!
Thats amazingly exciting!!! Congrats!! Xx (live the shamrock to!)
