So, we didn’t choose the right year to launch our floating fibre business, but we’ve really enjoyed being broken in gradually. Trading out in the open is perfect for social distancing and our card reader has been worth it’s weight in gold. Although we’ve only opened a handful of times, our stock levels are down to a few hanks of yarn and even less tops.
The super weather during the first lockdown meant I was able to get lots of dying done. I’m tempted to dye during the winter with pots simmering on the multi-stove, but it’s drying the fibre and yarn that’s an issue indoors.
We’ve met lots of people and have been asked about mail order. However, as we continuously cruise and don’t have a permanent address it’d be tricky arranging for returns (should the need arise). In addition storing packaging for posting could take up valuable space. We have posted out to previous customers and Team Towpath Twizzlers the BritSpin team we sponsored. We’ll be seriously thinking over winter about the possibilities of postal orders for the new year.
Like everyone, we will have to just hang in there and wait to see what 2021 holds!!!! We’ll publish our locations when we get there.
Best wishes to everyone for a very different and hopeful, happy Christmas & New Year.
