Hello guys,
You may know that over the last two years a decline in my health meant I had to take a step back and downsize Loopy. After moving to a smaller unit I set about clearing stock to leave a core range which makes the day to day management quicker and easier. I have very nearly managed to do that and with your kind support the business has kept going and I've had the continued pleasure of playing with yarn each day! 

The joy I've had over the last seven years is immeasurable. If you've supported Loopy you've had a hand in changing my life. I'm not talking financially but in so many other ways. seven years ago I had lived over 20 years with M.E, much of that spent laid up in bed each day. It meant that along with very little energy I was full of anxiety and self doubt meant that I had no confidence. I've changed so much since the first nervous steps I took in to a room full of people on the business course run by Britain's energy Coast and the seed of Lusciously Loopy sprouted. Starting the business enabled me to get back a bit of the old lynn and it was so good to be doing something I loved! Being my own boss has given me the freedom to fit work hours around my health needs and family life as well as giving me the flexibility to take Emily to hospital/Dr's/therapist appointments.

Constant exhaustion over the last few years has meant I've obviously thought about closing but your support and the benefits for me physically and mentally were still high. I cut back the hours I worked each day and then reduced the days I work. Neither of those steps have resulted in the pick up in health needed to continue the business.

Over the past two months I've only had a handful of days without a migraine or severe headache. No matter what techniques I've used from alternative treatments and meditation to medication they have persisted.

Running a business is a full time commitment and I haven't been able to give it what it needs.
The final decision to close only happened over the last week. I have tried my best to keep going and to continue doing a job I love but now is the right time to close so I can focus fully on getting stronger again.

 Although I'm back to spending a majority of time in bed I'm still in a very different place to where I was when I began the Loopy journey. I feel quite emotional posting this but I don't feel sad to be closing, the time is right and I feel grateful that I had the chance to do all that I have. I've met so many wonderful people and am reminded daily of the love and support that so many of you have given. Not just in your purchases but in the communications we've had either on social media, by phone or email. What a wonderful community of people you are. Supporting small businesses and making a difference.

It was the best journey but now it's time to take another path in life. Not sure where it is leading but I'm happy to take the first steps and find out. I've given notice on the unit and hope to clear all stock and shelving units by the end of October. It is a tall order to clear everything in that time but I need to finish as soon as it is possible. I'm going to need a lot of help to get the word out to do that and I'm hoping you'll all share my posts so it can reach as many yarn lovers as possible. 

If you have ever purchased from me I want to say a huge and very heartfelt thank you for your support.
Little businesses need people like you! 
Big hug and lots of love

NOTE ABOUT DISPATCH OF ORDERS 
 I will be back in the unit on Friday and will then be posting out every weekday. I would ask you to be patient. I will pack as fast as I can but I am on my own and it depends how busy it gets as to how quickly your order goes out. You will receive an automatic dispatch email  once it is posted. 
 
NOTES ABOUT POSTAGE COST
I haver increased the free shipping amount to orders over £30 .
Orders over 4kg will incur extra postage costs.
The way the website is set up means it cannot calculate this extra cost so I will get in touch with you if your order is over 4kg. 
 
NOTES ABOUT REWARD POINT SYTEM 
I have disabled the reward system so no new accounts cannot be made.
If you were collecting points I want you to be able to use any reward coupons you have. The system only allows you to use one code at checkout so you will need to split your order to use one code at a time. First order use the iloveyarn code then place an order to use your reward point coupon code.
 
Please remember to leave me a message on your orders at checkout so I can tie them both together for posting. 

If your first order is over £30 (once the discount has been deducted off your total) it is eligible for free postage. If you then place your second order to use your reward code and that is under £30 you should choose the free local collect option and leave me a note on your order to tell me the number of your previous order and I will post them together.
 
Please remember to leave me a message on your orders at checkout so I can tie them both together for posting. 

If you are purchasing and both orders combined come to under £30 (once the discounts have been deducted) you will be charged postage on both at checkout but please leave a message at checkout telling me your order previous order number and I will refund one lot of postage for you.
 
Please remember to leave me a message on your orders at checkout so I can tie them both together for posting. 

If you purchase and both the orders (once the discounts have been deducted) have a combined total of over £30 I will refund postage on both if you leave me a message at checkout telling me your previous order number.
 
Please remember to leave me a message on your orders at checkout so I can tie them both together for posting. 

I am sorry about the faff but this is the only way I can do it so you can receive your reward coupons. I expect to be very busy and it would be a great help if you remember to link your orders please.
If you have any queries about the reward points please get in touch by email and I will answer them as soon as I possibly can.

NOTE ABOUT DYE LOTS
