Sæi opens

If a rough beginning makes a good ending, the future looks bright for Sæi. After all sorts of delays, I finally managed to order the materials and set up a website, and I thought everything was underway. Optimistically, I opened sales for materials that I thought were just two days away from arriving in the country and clearing customs—but no, they had been sent to Ireland! Once the mistake came to light, they were sent back and forth between London and Duives in the Netherlands several times, and I was beginning to fear the worst. In the meantime, I didn’t dare advertise. When the materials finally arrived, the next problem became apparent: the website was full of hidden bugs and wasn’t working. It’s just as well I didn’t know how much work it would be to set up a site like this, or I wouldn’t have gone ahead with it. I have actually done it at least three times before, but with a much simpler product that didn’t have measurable units to sell. In the end, I completely rebuilt the site. Although it looks the same, in a way it’s a new site.

I’d really appreciate it if you let me know if you run into any problems with orders or anything else, and I’d love to hear your feedback or requests for products/materials. You can always email me at hallo@saei.is

But all the materials are so beautiful, soft, and high-quality that it’s hard to resist the temptation to get some of everything! As I write this, the translations aren’t quite finished, and I still need to take photos of the lovely Merino that has arrived, but it can’t go on the site until the photos are ready. I’m so looking forward to sharing it with you.
