Hey, are you following on Facebook or Threads and not on Instagram?

We would love the help getting over that mark. 843 is a stretch and we don't expect it in a day, but maybe we can hit it before the end of the year.

Randomly came across a post on Threads where a woman got part of her hair in these exact colors! It was such an amazing kismet moment. I posted that we have yarn that matches because *squee!* but she hasn't responded yet. Her hair is beautiful and she's so adorably cute I can't stand it!
