Still playing around with schedule and lighting to take product pictures. LED lights really screw up some colors. After removing the bulb from my overhead light, I finally got a realistic picture of Marine Blue. The 16/2 linen has been updated. I have more to wind but at least there is now a picture of every color in stock. Today I spent time winding the 10/3 hemp yarn backstock. I still have to print and cut more labels before doing the update. I also found more butterscotch. One more to wind.

Today’s progress

In planning the work schedule, I have yet to figure in time for new dye baths. After winding all the back stock, it's obvious that I need more yarn and thread colors dyed. I will have to go through dyes tonight to see what needs to be reordered. I want terra cotta back in stock. I've plenty of purples and navy blue. I have never found a green that I actually like. Another thing for the "to do" list.

Pittsburgh's Covid numbers have been ridiculous so until they go down, I am staying out in the boondocks. I am heading to a farm tomorrow to pickup meat and flour. Today we picked up some basics at the health food store. We are just going to be short potatoes and veggies until things cool down a bit. Tonight was chicken wild rice soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

I did get my hour in on the brown triangle shawl. I managed to break a thread and didn't want to fuss on the green shawl. The weekend is harder to plan for. Customer service and other things need to be done. Have a good weekend one and all. Don't become a statistic, please.
