Yes, you've guessed it (at least, some of you). I'm going to be selling my own hand-dyed yarn, in the very near future. I'm incredibly excited to have my sticky little paws on the first batch of labels, right here:
I've been building up to this for a while. I've been gradually, methodically, learning my dye craft for over a year. I own a domain name, http://www.yarnscape.co.uk/, though currently it only points to my Etsy store, which is empty. And all the time, I've been too shy to say anything. Clearly, hiding behind a bush at the back of my garden, quietly whispering "sssh! don't tell anyone, but i have some pretty yarn for sale..." isn't really going to work out in the long run. The last thing I want to do is turn into one of those bloggers who only ever post to say, "Hey! Shop update!", or "Hey! Sale!", but I really am, genuinely, very excited about this.
And I can't say how blown away I've been by the lovely comments I've been receiving on my sneak previews. Thank you, everyone!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Hope it's a big success!!!!!

Excited squeal. I've been waiting for this since seeing your dyed samples at a KTog about 18 months ago :)
