Love this video. It is so helpful when women in business are open and authentic. I am very interested in the numbers; initial investment for product, licensing, marketing, fulfillment, profit margins, if and when you are able to pay yourself. I want to know all the things. It was so touching how grateful you are to have this business. I have an equal but opposite reaction when thinking about going to work each day. I am hoping to turn that around. I look forward to future videos like this one. 10:40

Hi! I came across your video while I was looking up knitting business ideas for myself. I love your story and your yarn colors! Your story is such an inspiration for me because I’m also an Asian knitter (Filipino) and I want to start my own yarn/knitting store. I learned so much from this video. I hope that you’re able to make a video on Etsy vs Shopify because I’d be interested to see it. Congratulations on your success!

I will absolutely post a video.

You are too sweet. This comment brought a tear to my eye. I adore that you found inspiration in my video. This motivates me to make the Etsy vs. Shopify video sooner. Sending you positive vibes. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on instagram @lavenderfiberco

Love this video and how open you are! Thank you so much for sharing. I would love to learn more about your numbers/growth. Also, can you link the KZfaqrs you talked about in the video? I didn't see them in the description box.

I’m actually trying to do tufting rug business in my country but it’s so hard finding good yarn in different colors. So hard and nearly non existent unless I order online from other countries. I think I wanna start dying my own yarn 😩

Hi! Thank you for sharing your story. I can relate 1000%. I recently started my indie fibre dyeing company too (almost a year ago). My question is about growth. One of the most challenging things is exposure. How did (do) you navigate getting your name out there? Thank you! :)

I will make a video shortly discussing this. Thank you so much for your kind words and stay tuned.

Hi Amanda! I am so glad I stumbled on your video! I’ve dyed a couple skeins of yarn and am now contemplating starting a business. What would be your top 3 suggestions as far as experimenting with the actual dyeing process before starting a business? For example, should I be testing each dye on a sample of various yarns in various solutions?

@pinkmacprincess Жыл бұрын

Absolutely test on different bases, yarn bases all dye differently. My top three suggestions would be. 1. Make what you love. 2. Believe in yourself and know that you have just as much potential to make it in the yarn dyeing world just as anybody else. and finally 3. Practice, practice, and practice...I've seen the top dyers that have been in this business 5+ years still making mistakes. I want to end this with saying, I am honored you asked me for my advice. Good luck to you and send me some pictures of your works of art on my instagram @lavenderfiberco
