Sometimes decisions are taken out of our hands. It’s just the way life is.
As planned, I finished weaving ML’s wrap today. Went to the shipment of Egyptian cotton I’d received for EL’s wrap and wound a bobbin. Then I started winding a second bobbin, when I finally paid attention to what my hands were telling me. I finally really looked at the label that was on the yarn.
Poop! They sent me 16/2 cotton, not 8/2. Went to the shipping receipt and the payment invoice – both said 8/2. So I called the company, who will immediately ship out the 8/2 cotton. Then I emailed EL to let her know that all we can do is wait for it to arrive. Today’s Wednesday, so I might receive the replacement yarn on Saturday. But I’m betting it’ll be Monday.
In the meantime I’ll go to that purple & gold rayon warp I wound while I was waiting for the baby wrap yarn to arrive. Glad I got it on the little loom. Now I’ll thread it and weave off the three scarves. If the cotton is here by then, I’ll jump back to the Macomber. If not, I’ll wind another warp for my counterbalance.
I love your blog and all the beautiful colours of your baby wraps. I’m so happy to never have had any mistakes when ordering directly from brassard and lucky to be only a 4 hour drive or 2 day regular post away. I’d love to pick your brain a little.
Thanks, Samantha.
I should clarify that Brassards didn’t make the error. I ordered some Egyptian cotton from a good, reliable supplier. We’re all human and mistakes sometimes happen.
