for most craftspeople, september to november are the busiest months. the fall means flat out production for shop orders and craft fairs. i already have my order from the newfoundland and labrador craft shop at devon house. and i'm starting to stockpile for the toronto one of a kind christmas show in late november. and i'm still running my etsy shop and doing the saturday market here in corner brook. so i have to be working at producing all the time for the next three months. one solution to "maximising" production is to make more than 1 skein of yarn at a time. so when i decide on a "colourway" - a combination of colours and fibres to make into a batt - i make 12 batts instead of 4 and spin up 3 skeins instead of 1. so it's 1 skein for the devon house order, 1 skein for the market/etsy shop/toronto show and 1 skein for me to knit up into a scarflette, a hat, fingerless gloves or combine with other yarns for a shawl.
