DEAR friends,
Are you spinning up some delicious skeins for our Fall Show and Sale? If so, thank you! I’m looking forward to seeing (and touching!) each one! I’ve volunteered to create the Sale display for hand spun skeins this year. We’ll use ladder styled shelving with galvanized buckets to hold the skeins by color grouping. Please see the attached photo. In order to have appealing uniformity in that compact display, it would be terrific if everyone would finish their skeins and tag them similarly. Here’s what works best: Twist a traditional skein so that the “folded” (most round) end will be showing in the front of the bucket, and attached your tag to the other ed of the skein. See attached photo as an example. If you’re creating balls or cones of yarn instead of skeins, we can work with those as well. Shoppers
appreciate seeing fiber content, yardage and weight, as well as yarn style and maker on the tags. If you have questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for making this a terrific Show and Sale this year!
Kindest regards, Jennifer
