I'm so glad the yarn arrived to you in time for your review! May be it arrived so quickly because it was in an Amazon Prime envelope? Haha.

I understand your concerns about international shipping. I still feel the same nervousness every time I send out an international package. I had a really hard time sending a package to Canada once. It was returned to me twice - once because the post didn't recognize the address and then a second time because they didn't recognize the person's name. Since then, I would triple check the address and name, but in many countries, streets, provinces, and zips are written differently so you just really never know.

Most of my international shipments have gone through without a hitch, so to me it's still worth the few hiccups. As long as you stay in communication with the customer, it will all work out :).

But now let's talk about something lighter, like your review! Wow! I'm so honored. Thank you thank you! I love the different ways you are using the yarn, from knitting to making handles for your gorgeous rice paper basket. It's so cool! I sometimes incorporate yarn into wreaths too and it's so fun to play with it in different ways. I'm so glad that you love the color. It's one of my favorites too because it's so unique and also very surprising that it comes from black hollyhock flowers. Thank you again for sharing your experience of Homesteaders Co-op and of my shop & yarn. I appreciate all the time and energy you devote to supporting artisans and helping our community to grow!

I really look forward to seeing your products on Homesteader's Coop so I can get my hands on one of you creations!
