Sheepspot is moving

I know this looks like an empty room, but it is, in fact, full of adventure!

Since Sheepspot started, in 2014, it has lived with me and my husband. Kind of like a roommate. I've been dyeing the basement (where we also do our laundry; what could possibly go wrong?) and keeping inventory in my office. The shelving I use at fiber festivals and the other things I need for selling in person are in the garage. And, at the moment, there are many, many skeins of CVM DK in the back of Matthew's closet. 

This arrangement worked well at first. I love working at home, and I love being able to dye in my pj's if the mood strikes. But as Sheepspot has grown to offer fiber as well as yarn, and more different kinds of wool, our "roommate" has been claiming more and more space, and things have gotten more and more disorganized. I hate working in chaos, so this has bothered me. A lot. I know I could produce more and work more efficiently in a different space. So I set out to find one.

And I found it! It's about 10 minutes from my house, 600 glorious square feet, with two huge north-facing windows that flood it with light. There's a big open space in the shape of an L, and a small "kitchen" with a great big sink. I'm going to dye in one part of the L and keep inventory and shipping materials in the other. I'll set up for photography by the windows. Even with all this going on there will be room for classes and spin-ins as well!

I have been dreaming about a beautiful home for Sheepspot since I started the business, and I'm over the moon about this space. As soon as I get back from vacation, the painting and myriad trips to Ikea will start. I hope to be fully moved in by the end of August!
