Since announcing the sale at my shop, I have sold a ton of fabric.
Seriously. A ton.
But hardly any yarn, and I just haven’t been able to understand. I thought it was a pretty good deal, but…maybe it wasn’t a good enough deal.
Well, tonight, I had an idea in my head and I wanted to check on a yarn color, so I toodled off to the online shop to look at what I have.
And there was only like 2 yarns in that category. Now, I’m pretty sure there are more yarns in that category in the shop, because I stare at it every time I’m in the shop, so I decided to poke around the rest of the yarn section to see if maybe the yarn I was looking for was misclassified.
There was barely any yarn in ANY category. Seriously.
Color me mystified.
So, I went to poke around the admin side of hte shopping cart. Yup, there was all of the yarn in the list…why wasn’t it showing up in the shop????
*Bad words*
Somehow, nearly all of the yarn had gotten marked as having Inventory Tracked, but the product quantity was…a big fat zero.
*Bad words*
This is not something where Suzanne accidentally checked a checkbox — we’re talking over 150 individual products. I suspect I know when it happened, but I can’t explain exactly WHY. Exactly why or how doesn’t really matter, but oh heavens.
Here I sit, imagining the people who have clicked through from Ravelry, or from the Google ad, or from the sale notification, wondering why I’m touting the yarn I sell, when it didn’t appear that I actually sell any yarn besides a few skeins of Opal sock yarn and Black Cascade 220.
*Bad words*
So! If you are a knitter, or know a knitter, or want to just look at some pretty colors of yarn, guess what! The yarn is now showing on my site! And it’s 30% off!

You describe me, Suzanne. I’ll have to take another peek at your blog.

me too — went to look at your yarn a couple of times and came away thinking “is that all?” I’ll go back and look again!

I sent an order yesterday – right after I read this blog post. Hope you sell “a ton”.

Did you know that socks are my new obsession? What a timely post, I went and ordered some yarn too.
