Riihivillan toiminta lähestyy loppua ja jään kokonaan eläkkeelle helmikuusta alkaen. Nettikauppa sulkeutuu tammikuun lopulla. Jonkin verran on vielä lankoja jäljellä, ja väriaineita. Väriaineisiin laitoin alennuksia nyt loppuajaksi, ja vaikka värjäyskauteen on aikaa, niin nyt niitä kannattaa ostaa varastoon. Sain myös jonkin verran siemeniä omista väritattarista, ja ne ovat nyt kaupassa.
Blogi jää olemaan ja tänne onkin kertynyt aika paljon kokemuksia vuosien mittaan. Ehkäpä jatkan kokeiluja myöhemmin, ja varsinkin indigolla olisi vielä paljon annettavaa minulle, mutta aluksi nautin suunnattomasti siitä, että voin keskittyä täysin puutarhaan. Muutama kuukausi niin muuttolinnut tulevat ja kevätkukat nousevat maasta.:).
Suuret kiitokset blogini lukijoille ja asiakkaille menneistä vuosista, ja ihanaa jatkoa ja alkanutta vuotta kaikille!
IN ENGLISH
Riihivilla is coming to an end, and I am fully retiring in the beginning of February. Online shop closes at the end of January. There are still some yarns and kits available, but I don't know if they will last for the whole month. I have been asked if our mitten patterns will be available in Ravelry later, and I don't know yet. I will think about it.
My blog will stay here, and here are a lot of my experiences from past 15 years. Maybe I will continue experimenting with natural dyes later, and write more, especially indigo has still a lot to offer to me. Right now I am looking forward to spring and having all the time for my garden. Now it is snow and cold, but in couple of months the migrating birds will come and then all the spring flowers:).
Thank you so much, all my readers and customers for the past years, and I wish everyone a wonderful new year full of inspiring things.
I an happy that your blog is staying. I have learned so much from it, and keep returning for more (I only wish, I knew Finnish).

Kiitos Tuija, ihana viesti josta jäi niin hyvä mieli!
DeleteKiitos paljon kaikesta opista ja tiedoista, joita olen Riihivillan sivuilta saanut jo vuosia sitten, kun aloitin tumpelona kasveilla villalangan värjäyksen. Mukavia eläkepäiviä! T. Tuija W.
ReplyDeleteHei Leena! Kiitos sinulle hienosta kaupasta. Torillakin kävin joskus ihastelemassa kauniita lapaspaketteja. Yhdet olen ostanutkin. Olit ensimmäinen värjäri johon turvauduin monta kertaa lähinnä pitämäsi blogin kautta. Ihanaa kun sivut jäävät meille okjekirjaksi ja iloksi. Kaikkea hyvää sinulle ja ihanaa kesää kasviesiparissa.
ReplyDeleteSydämellinen kiitos Leena! Olen turvautunut blogiisi lukemattomia kertoja värjärin tietä kulkiessani. Tietosi ja kokemuksesi on auttanut todella paljon! Kiitos! Hyviä ansaittuja eläkepäiviä!

Parhaat terveiset eläkeläiselle! Enjoy! Kiitos blogistasi, joka rivistä, jonka olen lukenut, puhumattakaan niin monista tärkeitä kuvista.
ReplyDeleteHello Leena,
ReplyDeleteHow sad that you're not selling any kit of mattenset anymore. We went last and this year a couple of time's to the market for looking at you. Now I understand why we didn't find you.
Is there a possibility to buy any of your mittens pattern? I just finnished a midwinterkal with your beuatiful yarn.
Greeting Helen Jorritsma from Holland
Hi, I'm sorry, I don't sell them anymore.
