The best tips for securing yarn at drop

1) Set an alarm for 3:55 pm CST. 

This might seem a little redundant since we send out text reminders, but let me explain. We currently have almost 10,000 people on our text notification list, and we can only text 12 people / second. It takes us ~20 minutes to text everyone on our list, which makes your notification somewhat inconsistent. Also, some of our text messages go to spam! (*gasp* heaven forbid...) By setting an alarm for 5 minutes before drop, you can make sure you have enough time to scope out the yarn that you want, and be ready to buy when the clock strikes 4:00. We are working to improve our texting speed, but in the meantime an alarm is a great workaround.

2) Place multiple orders.

This one might shock you, but many of our regular customers place up to 5 separate orders every week. The key here is to buy one colorway at a time, and then go back to place another order of a separate colorway, prioritizing your favorite yarns first. By doing it this way, you can "lock in" your favorite yarns, since items in your cart are not reserved. The reason this works particularly well, is because we will always combine your orders together and issue a refund for any excess shipping you paid for. We're not out here trying to punish you for your efforts, in fact, quite the opposite. We're here to give you the best deal possible on hand dyed yarn, and paying for extra shipping would be completely counter productive to that goal. For now we are manually combining and refunding, but hopefully in the future we find an automated solution.

3) Use Shop Pay

This is arguably the most important one, as it allows for you to save all of your payment information before drop. Then, at checkout, its a one click purchase without any confirmation codes.
