Unfortunately we have had to increase postage costs as Australia Post increased their costs on July 1st 2026

It is something we really hate doing, but to keep our prices as low as we can we unfortunately have to pass these increases on

As most are aware JKS was closed from JUne 11th-June 22nd, unexpectedly.

This has caused a huge back log of orders and i am working through them as quick as i can

For all those waiting on orders from Janet. Can we please ask 3 things

BE PATIENT – she is going as fast as possible

DO NOT EMAIL DAILY as all you are doing is clogging up and adding to over 600 emails unnecessarily which makes it twice as hard to sort through having to double check all the time

DO NOT CALL AND ABUSE HER – this is the height of rudeness when she has a great service but needed time off as WE ALL DO from time to time and is now doing her best to get all orders out as soon as possible

Thank you

Hi All, just to let you know postage costs went up roughly 18 months ago since then i have not put up my rates at all i have covered the shortfall on every parcel and letter, after major hiccups with Australia Post this week i am having to increase my costs to fall in line with them, this means that some parcels will now go from heavier envelopes at $4.50 old charge have to go tracked…..I hate doing this i really do, but i wont survive otherwise…….also just so you know Australia Post are no longer collecting envelopes from me, just parcels on a daily basis which is great as somedays i do not have transport and i pay them $25 a day to do this….ouch…so this now means envelopes will only leave when i can get out, might not be next day anymore i am afraid but i will endeavour to do what i can and get them out as quick as i can

This my day tomorrow changing all postage costs over, takes time………….

I will also be contacting a few people in the coming days as we had around 50 envelopes returned to us today with orders in them stating they cannot be dealt with any longer……….i need to lodge at post office…….frustrating yes……..feeling defeated yes………will they win……..no

Hey everyone, just a quick heads up, I am sick!!!!! so taking time out for 24 hours, things will be slow, lovely eldest child who moved home bought a bug with him and i feel icky…….to top it off Lance just got home after being away for ten days and Cailin and partner are coming for dinner, thankfully take away solves that problem…..but just so you know i have caved and given in and not moving very fast…..

Hopefully back to normal late Tuesday or Wednesday, just head not working so cant concentrate and dont want to send you wrong orders

Well January is here and once again DMC have increased their wholesale price.

Last year i covered the increase and didn’t put up price, but now well it is costing me more than i sell it for, lol, so sorry one and all but DMC stranded is increasing to $1 a skein.

For the next few days some DMC will remain at 95c as it is a huge job for me to change them all individually so i am doing this as i update stock as it arrives……

Catch up is also still going on about to start on January 12th, so making headway!!!!!!!!!!!

DIMENSIONS KITS

Hi all, some sad news, Dimensions kits are no longer available for sale through the Dimensions wholesaler here in Australia.

We are waiting on more news but if you are waiting on a back ordered kit, i will be in touch to refund this for you, it may take some time as i am still snowed under after Christmas break.

At this stage we have no further news but if i hear something on the grapevine, i will let you know………I am going to work on taking things out of stock, but the data base is large and may take me some time to organise so basically if on back order DO NOT ORDER, LOL

I will also add there is a huge stockpile of kits in the Sydney warehouse that may become available in the coming weeks, but we are waiting on legal notifications to see if these can be sold in Australia or not……….USA take over yet again by the looks of it

PLEASE NOTE: If your postage costs are $3 or $4.50 this is priority envelope post, i upgrade to priority at no charge to you, but if these go missing in the mail, they are not covered for refunds.

Envelope post can also be slow, it can take anywhere from 2-3 days to 2-4 weeks to arrive, totally out of my hands

You can at anytime let me know via email if you wish to upgrade to tracked postage, and I will pop through an invoice 

Welcome back everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year

As JKS has been closed for 2.5 weeks emails and orders are a tad behind, but I will be working non stop to catch up as quick as I can, i am presently up to December 28th so just a few days to catch up on but this equates to 640 emails with roughly 40-60 coming through per day, lol…………so will do my best and your patience is greatly appreciated.

Clearance has new stock and hoping in the coming weeks to update with more items

Happy New year all…whilst i have been away the elves were playing and uploaded more into clearance, little hint check out the DMC discontinued thread in there, its free!!!!!!!!!

Will be back Monday to work, although the elves did a few orders for me, there are still close to 700 emails in my inbox, so patience upon reopening would be appreciated.

ALso have been informed more reductions in clearance coming and extra goodies just need to find the time, am off today to spend time with family but will return next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
