2026-06-22 ... Updated Timeline ... EU "Cooling Off" Period ... SUMMER!
We are honored that most of the wool from which our garments are made is grown with WeatherWool as the intended buyer. “Our” Ranchers are planning about three years in advance, and then, after we buy their wool, it takes at least 18 months, even 42 months, for us to turn that wool into finished garments. Yesterday, I updated the page that details our START TO FINISH timeline.
On 11 June, Shopify, the e-commerce platform that supports this website, advised me that as of 19 June (I'm a little late), we must offer to our customers in the EU a WITHDRAWAL BUTTON that can be used to cancel any order by exercise of their legal RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL during the legally mandated 14-day “cooling off” period. The Shopify App store had a bunch of apps ready for this. I chose the most popular one and implemented it, I think, within about three minutes. And I think I implemented the free version. I’m just wondering if we now need to wait 14 days before shipping to Europe. It would be a bit of a mess if a customer WITHDREW an order after we shipped. Also, I'd like the WITHDRAWAL page to be visible only for people in Europe, but that is not the case. AND, it's popping up all over our website now, such as at the bottom of this page. We'll need to figure out how to throttle it back.
Today is the first day of Summer (North of Equator). June and July are the months with the least customer-interest in wool. But we have a whole bunch of stuff to do, so … no slowdown workwise. Our production timeline is so long that we are always in FULL SPEED AHEAD mode, regardless of the calendar. Our busiest months, October through January, are only five minutes away …
