Blueball Mountain Spindle & Needleworks: The Business Side of the Wool Business

Welcome, come right in!

Blueball Mountain Spindle & Needleworks, the Yarn and Fiber Shop in Historic Downtown Elizabethtown KY, has become the focus of the activities of All One Farms. The Farm, itself is still where the Sheep are raised, Gardens are kept and large dyeing and processing takes place. We continue to live simply, still seek to be self sustaining and remain conscious of our role in the universe. Every day is an adventure and it doesn't always take me where I plan. Come journey with me and share my experiences as I continue evolving my dream. Email me at luna.headhearthands@gmail.com.

The Business Side of the Wool Business

It's incredible how much time it takes to build a website. I've spent countless hours this month searching and checking out web software, trying it out and then sendin it back. I finally found a software package that i think will work. Got the layout worked out and I am liking it so far. Now comes sorting through the the IPhoto libarary, transferring it all to Photoshop (which is on my new [red!] business only PC). The sorting alone is taking me days to complete. Of course I am looking for the perfect photos to add to the web page. Next I'll be taking photos of all the gorgeous fiber that is arriving every day it seems.

Do I have time to spin? No. I squeeze in a little knitting while downloading, maybe a little drop spindling. I miss my wheels. I am surrounded by fiber but yet haven't made a real yarn in weeks.
