Get Your Sezzle On!

One of the most common misconceptions that we hear from people that don't craft (or new DIYers) is that we make things with our hands "to save money." While we definitely think that getting crafty is an excellent value, the hundreds to thousands of dollars in our respective craft stashes indicate that we've shelled out big bucks for the pretties that we create with. We are willing to bet that you get that in a big way as well! Still, budgeting matters, and it's not always possible to pick up every Elsie B fiber that catches your eye at any moment. It can also be difficult to add higher ticket supplies to your repertoire, even when they increase speed and productivity dramatically. (I'm looking at you, spinning wheels!) The good news is that Created by Elsie B offers a good dozen payment methods. One of our more budget-savvy options is Sezzle. Sezzle allows you to make Elsie B purchases using four easy installments. Here's how it works!

We're Going on a Fluff Hunt

One of our primary focuses for the last few years at Created by Elsie B has been building a sustainable infrastructure for the business. It takes a lot of pieces to create the lovely fibers that you all love, and most of those things carry on quietly behind the scenes. The most significant change for you, however, has probably been launching our very own Created by Elsie B shopping platform. We spent a lot of blood, sweat and fluffy love building it, and we want to make sure that you're getting the most out of our website every time you visit us. It's packed full of features and super easy to navigate. There are several ways to search our catalog, plus a few hidden gems that you may have missed during casual browsing.

Expanded FAQs - What is Combed Top?

When you first visit us at Created by Elsie B, you may not realize that our product line has evolved over time, and we didn't find our passion in fiber arts immediately. For people that are new to our small business, we still sometimes get asked about exactly what it is that we do. Does Elsie B sell yarn? Is this roving? The short answer is that all of our dyed fibers start as combed top, but what, exactly, is combed top? How do you differentiate it from other types of fiber, and what is it used for? Today we'll tackle that question, breaking down wool processing to help you understand the properties of this versatile type of wool fiber.

Jumping Down the Rabbit Hole - a Beginner's FAQ

Welcome to the Created by Elsie B blog! We're so excited to add this feature to our community, giving us the opportunity to connect with our customers in a more personal way. You are the heart of this business, and we wouldn't be where we are today without the ongoing support of each of the fiber lovers that we get to rub virtual shoulders with every day. We have several things in the works that will allow you to showcase your work and allow us to individually feature the many members that love Elsie B fibers, so stay tuned!

As many of you may have guessed from our social media posts over the years, there are many pieces moving behind the scenes to make your fiber experience the very best possible when you visit us at Created by Elsie B. What might surprise you is that not everyone on our team is a fiber artist. (I know, right?!) For that reason and because we want this blog to be a comprehensive resource for both beginning and experienced fiber artists, we figured that starting with a beginner FAQ would be a fitting ribbon cutting for the Create by Elsie B blog.
