New Floss

Fairyland

After my realization that I just couldnt cut it selling my floss at the price I did I had to think long and hard on what I wanted to do. I didn't want to increase the price so much that no one could afford it anymore. I would price myself right out of business! I also couldn't continue to make it if was just going to wear me out and have such dismal returns. I listened to everyone's advice and applied what worked to my situation. I dont want to sell formula floss. I know I would get quickly bored with this. I also cant make any money selling one ofs. It's simply not feasible. So I made a few changes and this is what I came up with:

Harvest

Four skeins of each color way! I wasn't sure if it would work properly and I did actually have to dye them twice, but I learned from my mistakes and I'm confident that I can make four skein colorways successfully now! I will seperate these and sell them as 8 yards skeins as I did before, but since I will be reducing my time photographing, listing and dyeing I might be able to swing it this way!

Rainy Days

I'm very happy with the results of this last one "Rainy Days" It reminds me of the rain slicked pavement with its myriad of dark rainbow colors, very subtle and very pretty!
This is not the only thing I've been up to. I havent forgotten 'small world' or 'mushroom love' or even the leaf project. I have been working a bit on each of these and will update you soon!
