Fiber Fair update

[carbonel]

So I had 29 items for sale, six of which were hand knit by iraunink from my handspun, and the rest of which were yarns of various sorts -- about half of those were art-type yarns.

Three of the six hand knit items -- two pairs of mittens and one scarf -- sold, leaving two shawls and one large pair of mittens.

Thirteen of the skeins of yarn sold, including most of the art yarn (but not my favorite one, which is still available). I'm very pleased that my experimental silk skeins sold, especially since those were my highest-ticket items. I plan to do more of those.

I can't possibly make a living doing this, but if I can keep finding a market for my finished yarn, I can support my hobby in the habit to which it is accustomed.

I will be posting the remaining items (plus a couple of new ones) for sale here as soon as I can get some semi-decent photos.

Well done -- congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the photos.

Congrats!

That is awesome :) And, hey, supporting your hobby in the style to which it's become accustomed isn't too shabby! Have you thought about selling stuff on etsy? There's a lot of handspun on there.

I did think about selling on Etsy, but I think instead I'm going to get a proper DreamHost account and sell there. (Which is to say that I have been planning for some time to set up some sort of online business, but was holding off until after Fiber Fair.)

I have the domain -- mobiusfibers.com (and the alternate spelling as well), so I might as well make use of it.

And that way I can do blog entries, too, should I be so inspired.

My daughter loves the scarf I made from the silk and wool yarn I bought from you at METHOD-Con. I'm still working on getting a picture of it on her.

That's great to hear. I'd love to see a photo.
