Milestones Reached!

We pulled apart our 100th sweater today!  It kind of crept up on us, but while we were stamping on sweater lot numbers, there is was: one, zero, zero.

The sweater of honor was a very dark blue, tweed sweater, which pulled apart nicely into a plump pile of 5 skeins.  Here is the sweater:

And presto, here is its light worsted weight yarn:

I doesn’t feel like we’ve pulled apart that many sweaters.  In fact it feels like we got started just yesterday.  I guess time flies,  at least when we’re working in the “sweatshop,” aka my garage.  I must say that I’m looking forward to sweater #200, then #500… and then #1,000 and onwards.  We are definitely growing bigger.

Which brings us to the second milestone we’ve reached.  Yarn Harvest yarn is now available in a brick-and-mortar retail establishment!  More specifically, an artisan gallery here in East Austin.  This is a big step for us and we are naturally excited about it.  The gallery is called Goods East and it is located at 1601 E Cesar Chavez.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at HOPE Farmer’s Market this Sunday.  HOPE was recently named the best thing to do in Austin on Sundays by the Austin Chronicle, and I couldn’t agree more.  Come see us and enjoy the last weekend in January.

Cheers,

Greg
