So tomorrow is the new shop update after the disaster that made me rethink about what I was doing. A couple of months back there was a fire that broke out close to where I worked and where I also stored all my stock for Hooks and Dye.
So the smoke from the fire dealt me a double blow and I was left with nothing and clutching at straws . I was let go from my job because they had also lost allot of their stock due to smoke damage. I had also lost all my hand dyed yarns that I had so lovingly created for sale over years. I had loads of undyed items ready for me to create one of a kind yarns and custom items for people. We all know that fire can do damage but so can smoke and the smoke damage was massive. With wool being so porous I was really worried and just numb, and in allot of shock.
After much scratching my head and allot of all what am I going to do now? Hiding in my bed waiting for depression to come and go, I had a few items in my house mostly roving that I could spin. So I spun and spun and spun. My Ashford joy and I started working.
This shop update was going to be mostly all my hand spun items that I had recently created, and maybe a couple of hand dyed roving that I had left at home so that hopefully I could start increasing my stock again. I had been in talks with the insurance company and they had organised a company to come and attempt to clean my stock but it was not a given that it was going to work and there was still the possibility that I may not of got my items back at all.
Hooks and dye are back
But thankfully today I have received all of my items back and they are all in perfect condition, they were able to be fully cleaned. So this means now that the shop update tomorrow is going to be a super update of all my items all of my hand spun yarns, my hand dyed yarns, my roving and all the merino roving as well. Out of all of the items there was only one item that was not able to be saved so the company that saved my stock did a fantastic job and I am so happy.
Tomorrow is super update stock day going live at 7pm G.M.T
