In an effort to not spoil the surprise for a few folks who are still awaiting the arrival of their fiber – I need to wait another couple of days to release some colour images of the Jan-Feb SAL fiber. I will keep this post short and sweet…

The Jan-Feb round of the SAL sold out!!

Thank you to everyone one of you who took a chance on the first every ITW SAL. Oh, and the SAL topic is in full swing on Ravelry. Stop by, all are welcome to join!!

Only two more days left to purchase your Jan-Feb SAL fiber from the ITW Etsy Shop ! Obviously I cannot show you how pretty it is, however I can show you how squishy it it:

…until the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival!!

So, um, yea.

This post will be short and sweet because I need to get back to work! So let me get to the point: You might want to check your blog reader tomorrow and swing back over here for a way more interesting post. Want a hint?

Really?

Are you sure?

Oh, Ok.

I suggest warming up your twitter, blogs and Ravelry login.

Lame hint huh? Sorry.

See you tomorrow!!

Fall is here and I have been locked in the studio for days – and yes, I am in my glory! Just a quick announcement:

The SHOP will be closed from 4PM EST Monday September 21th until 10PM EST Wednesday September 23rd. Upon my return there will be a  shop update that includes plenty of  Superwash Bluefaced Leicester, 64’s Merino, 56’s Falkland, 80/20  Merino/Silk  along with a few other luscious fibers. Most if not all of you have seen the pictures as they are posted to FLICKR, but for those who have not yet seen them; here you go:

I am so excited to announce that in an effort to reduce post consumer waste Into The Whirled has changed its packaging…

As of today fiber will not longer be wrapped in disposable baggies or tissue paper; instead I have switched to some fabulous reusable plastic drawstring bags!! In addition you will notice that business cards, coupons, and project cards are also being packed in reusable/resalable bags. I hope everyone loves the new packaging! Please note that I would be delighted to wrap items upon request, just include a small note in the comments field when you place an order!

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend! The craft festival was a huge success, thank you to everyone who stopped by Ulster County Handspinners Guild booth.

The shop has been reopened and I will be slowly reactivating listings as the fiber is inventoried, quality checked and repackaged. And weather permitting I will be photographing and listing some new batts this afternoon!

The shop will be closed until Tuesday September 8th!!

This weekend an awesome juried arts and crafts festival is taking place at the Ulster County Fairgrounds in New Paltz NY. The seasonal feature of this event is Fiber Arts! Swing by the festival and stop by the ‘Demonstrators Tent’ to say “HI” to the members of the Ulster County Handspinners Guild. In addition to fiber art demonstrations we will be featuring the artwork of many of our talented guild members.

Busy Busy Busy! But not too busy to find the time to finish spinning up 9C02.42 aka Dinoflagellates:

She is soaking in a hot bath so I have no idea what her statistics are. I will edit the post when she is relaxed and dry!
