Socially Distant

I know I haven't updated anything here in a looooong time.  I'm just not that great at maintaining a blog. I'm even worse about it than listing inventory in my online shop.

That said, I wanted to provide an update on how the spring here at the Ugly Room is shaping up.

I have nothing but time as I stay home with the kids, at least until they get back to school. So I'm now working on getting my stock photographed and listed, depriving the kids of their cherished computer time. As the weather allows for drying, I'm managing to get some new things dyed as well. I just finished up five pounds of rambouillet top, if you're looking for some new fine wool to spin. I'm starting to get the lathe back up and running as well, now the basement is thawing out.

I'm now operating on the assumption that Mutton & Mead isn't happening this year. They haven't called it yet, but I just don't see them going forward with it. I'm going to miss seeing everyone that comes out. It's a fun show to watch, it has great energy, and I love the yarny projects that everyone brings to show off.

Based on that assumption, I've decided to remove all shipping costs (to the US - email or message me from Zibbet if you're international) from my Zibbet store. It'll cost you only what it would cost if you were at the faire in-person.

I'm also working on setting up custom listings for drop spindles and batts. I'm setting the listings for a $1 reserve and will contact you with anticipated shipping times. I'll email you with pictures for your approval before I request final payment. Again, being home right now, turnaround times should be pretty quick.

As always, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to share pictures of your projects. Stay safe, tell someone you love them. I'll see you on the flip side of this mess.
