Hello again friends, We are humbled by your kind words and support. Due to a volume of sales above and beyond what we anticipated, we will be ending the online sale after today, July 1st, in order to give our team the time needed to fulfill orders. Right now we are aiming to get all orders shipped as soon as we possibly can, but please note it may be a couple of weeks before we are able to get to all of them. We will update next week about details on the in-person sale of remaining inventory as it will need to be postponed from the July 6th date - so stay tuned! Our website had trouble processing so many orders being placed at one time, so some of our yarn may have double-sold. If this affects your order, we will issue a refund and send you an email letting you know. For locals who placed orders to pick up, we will email you when your order is ready for pick-up as they might not be ready to go by Tuesday. We appreciate your support and patience as we get orders out the door. We are not able to take phone calls at the moment, so please email questions to [email protected] and we will try to get back to your questions as we can. It warms our hearts to know that all these lovely items are going out into the world to be used and loved, and having such a response to our final sale is a bittersweet testament to what we have created.
Thanks again,
Team Echoview
Dear friends, customers, and fellow retailers,
We are deeply saddened to announce that Echoview Fiber Mill is closing. There is hardly ever an easy way or a good time to close a business, and though we have given every effort over the years, it is our time to wrap up and say goodbye. Many of you have been on this journey with us as we have changed and transformed into what we are today, and we want to say thank you for walking by our side.
There are many elements that have tied into the decision to close immediately, all of which we are sure you already know. Rising prices, cost of living, and the overall cost of sustainable domestic production have outpaced the growth of our small business.
We hope that the values of Echoview for sustainable, small, local production and living wage continue to reside in the hearts of our customers and friends. Know that we are right there with you if you are another small business sticking to these values and struggling under the growing weight of rising costs and shrinking profits. We are also with you as individuals watching rising prices at the grocery store, the gas pump, and all the choices we make as conscious individuals trying to buy items that take into account the environment and the people making them.

Did you know that this Saturday is World Wide Knit in Public Day? ✨ What better excuse to take your summer knitting outside and enjoy the beautiful weather☀️🧶 What are your favorite places to take your knitting?
