I’d hoped that I might be able to recover some of the purchase costs, and give my wonderful customers a last chance to get hold of some the wonderful sock yarns that can be hard to find in Australia.

I’d expected to sell maybe half the stock before closing up in a couple of weeks, thus leaving me with a big personal stash of sock yarn to work through over the next few years.

Silly me. Your orders have flooded in today, and there’s less than a quarter of the stock left. At this rate, it may all be gone before the store officially closes.

If you have had trouble trying to access the Yarnomat store today, I’m sorry! Please try again. You will get through eventually.

There are still some lovely yarns available (as at Thursday night), including a good selection of the Flat Feet handpainted flats. I’ve been knitting a pair of Marywarmers for my sister with Flat Feet, and love the smooshy way it knits up. It comes quite crinkly out of the flat, so blocking is more important than usual to get a nice professional finish.

Yarnomat has been quiet recently, and I had been planning to re-launch it in January.

Well, I’ve been doing some soul-searching, and honestly examined the financials, and have decided instead to close the yarn store for good. It’s been lovely to have a miniature yarn store in my home, but I just haven’t had the time or the funds to build it into a profitable business.

I still love knitting, and sock knitting especially, and will continue developing and publishing patterns at the Yarnomat site. I  just won’t be selling sock yarn there any more.

Thanks for shopping at Yarnomat over the last couple of years!
