Yum... Yarntini!

Yum.... Yarntini!
(from L to R: Appletini, Three Rivers, Pumpkin Spice, Sangria, McDreamy, Ice)

A few months ago, I was lucky enough to catch a Yarntini update at Woolgirl. I quickly selected a few skeins and checked out, thrilled that not one of them was stolen from my shopping cart by someone who was just a little quicker than I was.

The next day however, there was an email in my inbox from Jen, the owner of Woolgirl. My heart sank as I read that the shopping cart over sold one colorway to two people and I was one of those unlucky two.

Jen offered me either a refund, a store credit, or a chance to exchange that skein for a skein of anything else in the store. She also offered to let me have first pick from her next shipment of Yarntini to make up for it.

I couldn't believe my luck. I mean, you all know how hard it is to get your hands on Yarntini. I felt like I should be thanking Jen for the shopping cart fiasco.

The next shipment was due in November of last year, but Jessie, the brilliant dyer behind Yarntini was pregnant, and so everything was (rightfully) put on back order.

Jen did a great job of keeping me updated of when the Yarntini was expected to arrive, and then last weekend, I got the email telling me it was here. A few days later, it arrived at my house.

I have to say, Jen went above and beyond what I personally feel she was obligated to do. She is an amazingly sweet, kind person, and has more than won me over. She has made me a fan of all things Woolgirl, and a customer for life. Since her first email, I have joined one of Woolgirl's sock clubs, been lucky enough to make it on to the list for the Charlie Brown, It's An Easter Beagle kit, and have added many of her yarns to my wish list.
