New 70% Baby Alpaca/ 30% Mulberry Silk coming soon...and Homesickness

Just finished to Dye two skeins of alpaca/silk totally by intuition...

Have no idea what will be the result and did the same to two discontinued australian merino superfine yarn I found undyed in my stock...
Lets see how it looks tomorrow or in 2 days (fog have been our  best friend these days :(
The experience involved at least 6 basic colors :) It will be a multicolored yarns but not a rainbow thing.
And I was very happy today to know my client in France loved the oxblood Silk lace skeins.
Always nice to see someone admiring your work and share it, something that is not a very great part of the culture in the country I live...for now! Worst. Felt for the first time in my life gender discrimination written in black and white!!!
You can break your ass working here and nobody cares, so different from Montreal..
And I'm so so so homesick right now...
And looking forward to knit like this again, but my brain is not ready. I'm even become dyslexic when I write any line and in any language...

100% pure Mulberry Silk Lace and beads :) Pure luxury :)

or

For direct selling, on my FB page or my email, see my website and click "About", "Contact me": and you will find my email and FB page.
But until TONIGHT, for direct selling. you will have a 15% total discount! (GMT+5 to be fair with Etsy promo)

 (photos linked to my etsy shop)

But there is something new on my website. I notice that lot of knitters only need or can buy 2 skeins of fingering but if you don't reach the 110€ the shipping gets high.
So I create a "Buy Now" button for packs of 2 equal skeins (when available) for lower prices and shipping rate as of 1 skein in Etsy.

I'm thinking on making some mix packs, but it's something to do in a VERY organized way. Il trye to figure out if it's possible.

Hand dyeing is not like balls of wools in the shops, it's unique, made in small batches, have to think carefully what is good for the clients and avoid problems for me.

Giving the BEST care to my clients is n.º 2º half priority. The first half priority is making sure you get your yarns fast and very well protected and feel you have what you asked for!
Or totally refund!

Have a great weekend full of love :)

Here is the "abandoned" discontinued yarn "Teal"... will spend Valentine alone, it's pair is already prepared to go to Sweden first thing monday morning.
