Happy November Everyone!
Today is an absolutely gorgeous sunny day here in Southern Vermont. Life is getting a little easier as Gavin and I settle into our new routine together. He is doing amazing and I’ll do a full update on the gofundme: https://gofund.me/1ef114a0f. Life is still full of uncertainty, filing lots of paperwork for social security benefits etc. as he has permanent visual impairment from the accident as well as significant memory issues (that will most likely resolve over time, and we’ve seen considerable improvement in memory since his return home).
As many of you know, the last couple years have been disorienting for me, to say the least! The sale of Round Mountain to my employee fell through in February last year, my marriage fell apart and my partner cut off all communication with me and my kid, and then my kid was in the crash… and I’m just exhausted. Gavin and I agree this is a great opportunity for us to help each other and heal from everything we’ve both been through.
I’m trying to find ways to modify the business and make it easier for me, so I can have more time to spend with my kid and maybe even with myself! So I’m figuring out how to streamline things for next year, and hope to have some announcements to make in December’s newsletter about changes to our offerings (I’m leaning towards drastically cutting back on how many colors I offer - 1,000 colors is a lot), and I have a super exciting concept for LYS Club for next year as well, which I’m putting finishing touches on right now.
All this to say, we’re tired, but we’re safe and healing, and we will continue to offer beautiful hand-dyed yarn inspired by Nature to 50 LYSs across the country, and to our retail customers through our website at www.roundmountainfibers.com. A big thank you to everyone who has recommended shops. Hopefully have more time to follow up on those leads in January.
Without further ado, here are November’s LYS Club colors! You can order these colors from ANY of our LYS partners. To find a shop near you, visit https://www.roundmountainfibers.com/local-yarn-shops.
For those of you who like planning ahead, here are December’s LYS Colors:
