Hello friends! I've added two new colourways to our permanent collection today. Voila Trinity and Smoke! You've seen these before, I've knit sweaters featuring both and can definitely see myself needing these in my life going forward. So here they are! Also added to the shop today is a new batch of Lavender Fades and our White Light Skein Set in DK Weight. What took me so long to get that up?! It would be the perfect jumping off point for our Summer Blanket KAL which starts tomorrow, just saying'.
I've also added a whole bunch of colourways to the limited edition section of our colours page (scroll to the bottom) including a batch of Worsted Weight Bisou that I am seriously coveting.
I've been doing a lot of reflection on my business and my colours and everything else that we do here lately. I'm reconsidering how we package our yarn to mail, how we present ourselves online, pattern support, what types of colours I like best... My thoughts are all over the place! I've been running TFA for 10 years now and it's good to take it off auto-pilot every once in a while and see where we're actually headed. We're happy, we're all good, I'm proud of our business and don't plan on making any dramatic changes but I do plan on discontinuing a few colourways in the next week or two. It's not that I don't like these, it's just that I think that we could do them better, or maybe Chris just hates dyeing them, or maybe I just haven't reached for them in ages, or maybe they are pretty darn close to something else that we make, or maybe they are standing in the way of making room for something better. Whatever the reasons, the following colours are on the chopping block: Royal Flush, Lightning, Olive, Sprout, Papaya, Truffle and Plum Pudding. If any of these strike your fancy, now's the time to get them!
That's all the updates for today folks. Happy Wednesday!
