 Covid-19 Announcement

From an email sent out March 25th:

Local customers are well aware by now, but for our out-of-state friends: as of this morning, the entire state of Wisconsin has been ordered to shelter in place until May 26th. 

Until such time that our restriction is lifted, the following policies are in place for our company:

We are no longer offering curbside pickup of orders, as none of our staff will be at work consistently. Per the policy in place in our state, our staff may continue to ship online orders from our studio as long as our we follow proper social distancing guidelines. To best ensure the safety of our staff, our shipping will be consolidated into two batches: one on Tuesdays and one on Fridays.

If you live in the state of Wisconsin please use the code WISCOSHIP and we'll ship your order to you free of charge. If you live outside of Wisconsin, you may use the code 5OFFSHIPPING and we'll knock $5 off the cost of your order to help offset the shipping cost. This code can only be used on ready-to-ship items.

At this time all employees are being paid to work from home, and you can continue to expect our regular Friday newsletter full of new goodies every week. The only change there is that some of our new colorways may be pre-orders instead of ready to ship items. During this time, your support means everything to us! Our crew currently has two pregnant team members, two more working moms, and two employees whose paycheck from Knitcircus is their only household income. We couldn't still be here without you, and we miss seeing your smiling faces in our store every day. Thank you.

To find out more about my approach to equitable employment, check out the Real Talk with Tian podcast, where I talk about my experiences in becoming the owner of Knitcircus and the scholarship spot I sponsor in Tian's pattern grading course. I recorded the interview (without swearing? who even am I?!) before anything serious had happened in the U.S. with this virus, and now I'm literally putting my money where my mouth is. It's worth a listen, if I may humbly say so myself.

In the meantime, we'd love to see what you're working on, so be sure to tag @knitcircus_yarns on your Instagram posts, post to our Ravelry boards, or simply send us an email with photos. :)
If you want to keep up with what the Knitcircus crew is doing from home, check our Instagram stories and posts to see how our team works remotely with good humor and camaraderie.
