RIBBONS!

The first order of ribbons has arrived! SO PRETTY! They will be appearing on the aprons and bags any day now!

I've been thinking...

Since the fibers have been occupying more and more of my imagination, it seemed like time to begin working on the mission and planning . Here's what I have so far. Any comments?

The Mission of Sue's Luxury Fiber is:

• to spred the joy of fibers

• to offer affordable luxury fibers for spinners, knitters, weavers, felters, dyers

• to donate 5% of each sale to KIVA.org

What is KIVA?

Kiva.org is a micro loan agency that helps people in third worl d countries start-up or maintain businesses. Sue' Luxury Fiber lends to women in the arts or crafts. The re-payment rate at Kiva is very high, enabling the lender to re-loan and pay it forward.
