Why I Love The Loopy Ewe

I order from them so often, and it has occurred to me I never blog about them.  So, I'd like to right an unintentional wrong by doing so right now.

Let's not even talk about the fact that they have an amazing selection of hand painted yarns.  Let's not talk about the fact that I tend to get my orders almost as quickly as I do from my Lake Austin supplier.  Let's talk about the service.  See, I try as often as I can to order from smaller purveyors of my own personal addiction. I buy from about 4 different smaller sites on a regular basis (the others will be topics of their own posts at a later time). All of them have their distinct differences -- not just the yarn selection.  But here is where The Loopy Ewe really stands out:

Each time that I have ordered from them, be it one skein or 12, I have gotten a hand written note from Sheri thanking me for my order.  I have received a couple of little cards with a yard or two of a new yarn I've never tried or squooshed before.  And from time to time I get some kind of little tschotschke (I got a stitch marker in my last order).  I'm not saying that freebies are the only thing that does it for me.  What I am saying is that I feel like the biggest VIP on their roster every time I order - it's the handwritten note that does it for me.  If they didn't care about each and every customer, it wouldn't come with the order.  I feel loved when I unwrap those skeins from the tissue paper cocoon, and right now I'd like to share a little of that love.

So, the next time you feel like ordering a skein or two of a sock yarn or some nifty keen fun little tschotschkes, consider buying from the Loopy Ewe if you never have.  I can assure you that you won't regret the experience.
