Let's Answer a Few Questions?

1. Why does my yarn have knots?
All yarns can have knots. it's normal.
When yarns are machine spun, they tie not when a big spool runs out. and you are given a few extra yarns of yarn to fix it. 

2. Why does my skein look like it's been cut?
There a few ways this can happen. If the person opening the box to stock at the store, Uses a box cutter and accidentally cuts the yarn.

Anther way is some stores display the yarn is wire baskets, the edges of the baskets are sharp and it can be easily cut. I have even cut my finger on one.

3. If There is a knot or my yarn is cut, 
what do I do.

If you purchased the yarn locally, take it back to the store and exchange it, or get your money back.

If you purchased it online, contact the company and they will exchange and replace it.

 How To Have a Great Craft Sale

Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕

WE HAD BIG PLANS TO USE THE NEW GREEN SCREEN TODAY-- BUT,
MAYBE NEXT WEEK.

I am disappointed, but

We still had a great Video and a fun time.

See The Video on My Youtube Crochet
 Channel At This LINK

I Get This Question Quite often,

"I am doing a Craft sale, can you give me some tips?"

I haven't done Crochet Crafts sales in a few years, 

but here are a few tips I learned.

These tips are directed at "Crocheters", 

But are great tips for any crafters doing sales.

1. Be Seasonal 

Make things for the season or holidays and
be mindful of the colors as well. 

 If it's Spring, don't sell winter hats.

And Don't sell Sun hats, in the winter.

2. School and Team Colors:

Make things that reflect the team and school colors in the area.

Makes Things in the team colors.
Kids and teens really like that.

Things that sold well in School colors:

Fingerless gloves, headbands, ear warmers, 

Dog bandannas, Hair bows, Water Bottle Cozies

Simple Beanies, Scarves and Cowls

3. Lower Price Point:

You can have a few expensive items, 

But I would keep my main price point at $10 - $15

Especially if it a local or school sale.

Have some $5.00 items

Some great $5.00 items- beaded Bracelets, in 2 packs for Friendship bracelets. Crochet and Fabric Hair Scrunches.

4. Too much stuff can be overwhelming:

It is great to have some variety, But piled up table, with too much stuff can seem messy, and "garage sell like". 

You don't want people thinking it's a garage sell 

and expect garage sale prices.

Put out a good Variety, but leave some of the duplicates,

 in tubes under the table to be brought out when needed.

5. Lastly - Price Everything:

Don't make people ask how much things are.

Some will ask, But most will walk away, and not ask.

Put a tag with a clear price on every item.

A Few Hot Crochet Sellers:

Washcloths

Cotton Grocery Bags

Water Bottle Cozies

Reusable Lunch bags

Small Backpacks

Messy Bun and Ponytail hats are still great sellers

Best of Luck on All Your Craft Sells.
