This may be why I just almost always buy 10 of anything. I mean, what if I want to make a whole sweater instead just a bolero? It’s really the fear of running out.

They do sort of string along their customers, which is a shame! I guess they know that people will stock up for fear of the yarn never coming back to the site.

As soon as knitter’s review did a blurb about HPY’s worsted, I KNEW their sales would go crazy, they would “run out”..or have an excuse to sell it at almost double the price under malabrigo. BOO.

I’ve fallen into the “hurry! stock up before they run out!” trap too :(

ah well…oh, and i love the new site!

I ordered THREE hanks of pink and brown Ejido last month, when I got my order (that came freakishly quick for them) I found three BAGS of three hanks each, so now I have 9 hanks of pink and brown ejido and no idea what to do with it all. They had roving a long time ago too, then it was gone then just like last week they brought it all back. have I mentioned I LOVE HPY.
