The wool is here!

Finally! Five luscious, squishy pounds of wool roving arrived on my doorstep this afternoon.



This is some of the nicest fiber I've received in some time, so I'm looking forward to working with it.

A couple of updates

The brown trim for Jamie's boardies is finished! It will be mailed out first thing in the morning to Allison...I can't wait to see the finished product :)


Still waiting on the wool order so I can finish the trim for Susie & Trudy...it's supposed to be here by Friday, so if all goes according to plan it will be mailed out by Monday.

Angela's booties were mailed out today.

Here's a peek at the mailers I've been making out of wallpaper samples:




So far they are working great and I've gotten some wonderful feedback from them.

Here's a little preview of some yarn that I finished recently:


120 yards of worsted singles, and 180 yards of worsted 2-ply. I started this out as singles, but wasn't crazy about how it was turning out & spun the rest up in 2-ply. It's a total of 4.1 oz, and I'm thinking of making this my next FFS lottery, so be on the lookout for it at the next stocking on July 23rd.

Hopefully the wool will be here SOON, and I can post some more updates. Thanks so much for your business and patience.

New blog!

Since the grand opening of Cherry Tart in the Growing Up Green congo, I've been very fortunate to have lots of custom orders! I decided to start a blog as a place for my customers to keep track of their order status, as well as to preview new inventory before stocking. I plan on updating the blog as often as possible. I'm excited about working on all of the new orders, and I hope everyone is enjoying their yarn as much as I enjoy spinning it!
