Edit: Based on updated forecast for the coming weekend, I’m extending the Twinset TWOS-day deal through Sunday.  It looks like we’ll be in a freeze for several days, which (because we are in Texas) likely means the possibility of widespread power outages.  I’d rather be safe than sorry, so if I can sell a few yarns along the way, the better off I will be.

Yes, it is Twinset TWOS-day!

Tuesday, January 20, is Twinset TWOS-day — All matching Twinsets will be invoiced at 12% off ($24.64 per skein); all single skeins will be invoiced at 6% off ($26.32 per skein).

This is the group shot of the latest unclaimed yarns, just posted to the Blog Reader Specials page, where you will find all available yarns ready to ship.

I was also surprised to learn that shipping rates went up over the weekend, discovered after I’d already invoiced customers at the lower rate.  Per news reports it is supposed to be about a 5% increase on packages.  According to USPS.com my most common package (a 12-skein heavyweight box) would be $22.45 at the post office, but since I use a contracted service it will be about $16.75 for my customers in most of the United States.

And another thing — Houston is expected to get a hard freeze this coming weekend.  If you know my current housing situation, it maybe be too cold for me to work, so I don’t know if I’ll have a new batch of yarns coming over the weekend.  If I do, great; if I don’t, well that’ll be okay, I suppose.  I have little control over the weather.
