Did you know you can mend your clothes using felting? It's really fun and can be done with wool roving or even scraps of yarn. #visiblemending #slowfashion #repair #felting #sustainability 🧶🪡🧵

Online shopping is live! I dream of relying less on the meta-socials for marketing. If you found BSCS through this platform, I'm grateful. It's not much, but discount code BLUESKYHIGH5 will give you a small gift at checkout for your first purchase. 🧶🧵🪡 #craftivism #slowfashion #knitsky #crochet

So excited to celebrate the shop opening on Local Yarn Store Day! Mugs for everyone and a free tote with $75 purchase, while supplies last. I haven't manned a retail counter since college, so my big ask is patience. 🧵🪡🧶

Since the times I'm at the shop doesn't always coincide with delivery windows, almost all products arrive at my home first. It's been fun to see how consistent Thor (full name Thorbjorn, AKA Thorby, Thorbs, Roy Thorbison...) is inspecting them!
