I tried extra, extra hard with the photos this week. I think it shows, at least I hope so! We rewound a few of the skeins to show off the colour combinations better, so you’ll have to tell me what you think of the new look. I must say, they look so pretty when they are rewound, I almost wish we could do all of them that way. Just look:

I have a sick man on my hands. Tony has chronic asthma, which has been getting worse lately, and now on top of that, has what I think is bronchitis. He’s been bad since Thursday of last week. And as with most sick men, he’s…… ah……. let’s say high maintenance when he’s unwell. Add to that the fact that I have no employees coming in to work this week, since it doesn’t seem fair to drown them in germs, and you’ll see that I have my hands rather full. So blogging may be a little sketchy this week, as I play nurse/maid/parcel-packer/Jack-of-all-trades.
(On a more cheerful note, last week I booked plane tickets to go and see my lovely Plucky girl, for 10 days in December, with two of my closest friends. Woooohoooooo!!!)

See you Sunday, and don’t forget that the clocks change in Britain this Saturday, so if you live overseas, the sale time will be different! You can check the time here – we will be on GMT (instead of the GMT+1 that we have been on all summer).
Thank you all so much for your comments and suggestions on yesterday’s post. I have edited some of the photos, with the help of one of our customers who is an expert, and they look a little better. Its something I will continue to work on, and hope to improve. Some of you commented that the background appears to change colour between shots – I use a white background, but sometimes in order to get the yarn colours to come out accurately, I have to tweak the white balance, and that can give a cast to the background. I haven’t found a workable solution to this yet, but I’ll keep trying. In the meantime, thank you for all your lovely comments!!
Here are some of my favourites from this week’s yarn:
