So here we are, Whorled Domination! finally has a space in the blogosphere! :) I will be updating weekly with new spindles, news, events and information. Whorled Domination! can also be found on facebook, Ravelry, and our etsy shop :)
If you see something in any of the updates that you wish to purchase, you can email me at whorled.dom@optusnet.com.au with your order (please note that there is only one of each spindle), or contact me via PM on Ravelry where I am brighidskiss.
Whorled Army! Spindle Club
For those of you who don't already know about this one, you can find out the details in this thread on the Whorled Domination! Ravelry group.
Sign-ups for the next round will open on November 5th and run through till December 5th, with the club shipments being mailed out on January 5th of 2012.
For those of you not yet on Ravelry, the details are as follows:
This is a PAYG quarterly club, with one package being sent every 3 months
(containing a spindle and fibre to the value of whichever tier you select). You
may opt out of club at any time provided you do so by the deadline of the 5th of
the month prior to shipping. Places are strictly limited - if you are on the
wait list and someone opts out, the person on the top of the list will be
offered a place in the club with the option to stay in. If you opt out of more
than 2 consecutive shipments, you will automatically be placed on the wait list.
If you fail to either pay or notify me that you are opting out by the deadline
(and yes, I will be sending reminders so you don’t forget!), your membership
will be automatically terminated, and if you wish to rejoin at a later date you
will be put on the wait list until another place becomes available. From time to
time I may offer additional places in the club, pending my ability to keep up
with demand.
Club tiers are as follows, all prices are in AUD:
Tier 1, Basic: drop spindle and small fibre sample (50g or
less, depending on what kind of fibre it is) every quarter. $30 plus
shipping.
Tier 2, Regular: drop spindle and usually a minimum 50g
fibre sample or a smaller amount of a luxury fibre or blend - one shipment out
of every 4 is guaranteed to be a luxury fibre or blend. $40 plus
shipping.
Tier 3, Deluxe: drop spindle and up to 100g of fibre every
quarter, depending on the blend. This club option also guarantees that 2
shipments per club year (so 2 out of every 4) will contain a luxury fibre or
luxury blend (the luxury blend fibre will normally be 50g). $50 plus
shipping.
You will have several options to choose from with regard to fibre content,
colour, spindle colours/materials and top or bottom whorl - everyone who signs
up will be sent a questionnaire to fill out and return to me so that I can make
sure I don’t send you anything you don’t like :) Australian members will have
the option of whether you want to receive washed raw fleece as a possible club
fibre - I will not be offering this to members outside Australia due to customs
restrictions.
Fibre may be undyed, hand-dyed or hand painted, depending on what I can find
for the club and your personal preferences as to fibre colours/content. Spindle
materials may vary according to which tier you select - but all spindles will be
handmade by me and I will do my best to cater to any preferences you indicate in
the questionnaire.
Shipping costs will be $7.00 within Australia, and $12.00 for
everywhere else. If you would like to spread your quarterly payment out
over each quarter, let me know when you sign up and I can set it up for you with
Paypal :) You have the option of using Paypal, or for Australian club members,
direct deposit.
