Happy weekend everybody!

It has been another super busy week here : the December clubs dyed and drying and ready to be shipped on Monday, to beat the Holiday season postal rush !, lots of custom order dyeing and organising blends and batts for the updates still to come this year, not to mention the upcoming huge 12 days of Christmas fundraiser starting this Sunday December 1st at 12pm AEDT! (Follow me on Instagram, Threads or Bluesky🦋 and Facebook where I am ixchelbunny) and check in on the IxCHeL shop every day during those days to see what fabulous specials you can snaffle to put under your Christmas tree 🎄 
To say I’m super busy trying to organise everything is an understatement😂 

For this Friday update I have a very special blend called Machu Picchu with super soft 19micron merino and alpaca and lustrous mulberry silk PLUS a restock of Tundra Qiviut blend tops in luscious colourways, like “Stargazing”, “Autumn Leaves” and many more !

🎄 Holiday information 🎄

The shop will stay open during the holiday season, but there will be no new weekly update until Friday , January 17th, 2025! (This will give me some much needed time to prep new fibres, dyebaths and also recharge my batteries…much needed!). 
The last weekly update of 2024 will be on Friday 13th of December to give you all the results from the fabulous upcoming 12 days of Christmas event fundraiser and new exciting news !

The sign ups for the 1st quarter of the Art Journey clubs are open ! Don’t wait too long though: membership sign ups will close end of December or when maximum quotas are reached! You can find all the clubs in the shop here: https://ixchel.com.au/collections/clubs

Only two days left to take advantage of the 20th anniversary special -20% sale to celebrate the  20th anniversary of IxCHeL yarns & fibres with us! You can find the Gaia DK yarn here : https://ixchel.com.au/products/gaia

Wishing you a fun and relaxing weekend ! 

Big hugs,

It’s time to start talking about Christmas Bunnies !

 

It’s mid November so it’s officially okay to talk about……..Christmas 🎄

I know,I know…too early, but I’m sure I’m not the only one preparing for the festive season and if you are a knitter, crocheted, spinner or weaver, well, those festive gifts take time to create! Sometimes a month isn’t even long enough so I’m actually a bit late to the game 🤣 but there ya go: I’ve been already making these cute Christmas bunny batts for you and preparing soooooo many things for the upcoming “12 days of Christmas” fundraiser event that I do every year. I may be known as a chaos bunny, but one has to prepare not to fall into the black hole of panic, especially this time of year…lol

So, what’s been going on here? Well, after dyeing, batting and carding and skeining all the November clubs and shipping them out this week, I immediately started prepping the December club, because all the club parcels have to go out of the door before Australia Post Christmas deadlines, while at the same time prepping and dyeing 3 mountains of fluff for the upcoming shop updates ! Never a dull moment here!

Paul aka lair of the bearded dragon has also been super busy making new lotus phang support spindles with maginificent inlays of malachite and lapis lazuli.

New hand dyed tops of super squishy Corriedale tops are new to the shop this Friday too, so please have a look at the new colourways on offer.

you can find all the new fluff and spindles on www.ixchel.com.au in the what’s new section of the shop.

I am already preparing all the December art journey clubs and they will be ready to ship late November so they will beat the Christmas shipping rush, especially for our overseas art journey club members! Here is a sneak preview of the December club label:

Don’t wait too long to sign up for the next quarter! All the details of all the Art journey batt, fibre and sock yarn clubs are on the IxCHeL shop here: https://ixchel.com.au/collections/clubs

Wishing you a very fun, super creative and relaxing weekend !

Big hugs,

Charly
