Did you know that you can check on the status of you shares right here on the blog? just drag your mouse over the “Yarn CSA” button in the menu bar and click on the “Spring 2009- Follow the Fleece” pull down button. Erin updates the page every time we get news from the mills about the status of our fleece.
We will be posting the six Spring 09 colors that shareholders will be able to chose from next week. Dyeing is available for an addition charge of $15. Unfortunately, we will not be able to tell you how much yarn you will be receiving in your share until all the yarn is back from the mill and we have time to do some math.
We will have a mill update for our spinner’s shares ASAP. We send the fleeces to be made into roving to a different mill- the mill in Canada can’t accommodate our needs for roving- and the spinner’s shares are a bit behind the yarn shares. Hopefully the roving will catch up while we are dyeing the yarn for the knitters.

hope you are feeling in better spirits! Hope to pop in to say hello on one of my many trips to Hopewell Junction( will be there this weekend)
your friend,

Different mill for roving – that explains it!! Follow the Fleece – on-ward!
This time around I’m getting a spinners share so that gives me more time for my arm to recuperate! I’m gettin’ excited.
In the words of Flounder from Animal House “this is gonna be great!”
Yay! I can’t wait to see the colors you chose! (any hints
Do we get to hold of on choosing a color until we know the size of the share? Also, do we get the chance to buy more skeins in the shareholder colors?
thanks for tracking the progress – it makes it feel more and more real. can’t wait to see what the colors are – although i may opt to dye my share – hmmm – am thinking I may switch the fall share to spinning – i wonder if we are allowed to change our minds and what the deadline would be
This reminds me of when I ordered my Mini Cooper 6 years ago–how much fun to “watch” it through all the processes! It definitely makes it easier to wait. Thanks for doing this!
Hey, that’s a pretty cool page Erin’s got there! Thanks for posting — I don’t think I would have thought to click the Yarn CSA link, being a shareholder and all already (maybe I need to go check some other links….see if you’ve tweaked anything else). Been thinking about you. Let us know if your shareholders can do anything from afar to help.
Wow. Truthfully, I’ve not bothered to look at that feature, but Erin . . . you’ve raised the bar for sure. The visuals along with the explanation is great! Love it
I purchased a share and never received any yarn… What should I do?
wow cool
i’ve got yarn coming sometime soon! very exciting indeed.
cool!!
Glad all is going well up north. I’ve sent several e-mails wanting to make sure you have my order for my share – no response yet.

i did not buy the yarn share, i bought the fleece share, so why do i have to wait until it all comes back from the mill? i am confused? there is no mention of shareholders that bought fleece and NOT yarn. sara davis
