New Website/Old Coupons

I haven't finished transferring all of the old coupon codes to the new website/shopping cart which means that if you have a coupon code, our new website might not accept it. But do not worry--- your coupon is still good! Just email me at laura@theuniquesheep.com and let me know you are ready to use the coupon and I'll re-issue it using the new software.

New Website!

The new website is live! We have been working on this for months and are so excited to be able to finally unveil it! We tried to keep the ordering process very similar to the old website to make the transition easier. We added several new features which we think you will enjoy:

  • PDF purchases will now be sent immediately and automatically
  • You shopping cart summary is always visible in the green column at the right to make it easier for you to update your cart
  • You can create an account and log in to check on the status of your order and review past orders. 
The biggest improvement has been in how our Search bar functions. The search box is always present at the top of the green column. We have added a lot of new photos to the site and the search bar is the best way to explore them. To see photographs of a certain colorway on several different base yarns and even examples of it knit up, simply type in the colorway name in the search bar. Give it a try yourself- for example, search for "silverlode" to see eight different photos of this colorway on different yarn bases and 4 photos of it knit up. We will be adding more and more photos to the site in the future to give you more examples of our colors on different bases, as different sized sets,  and knit up into projects.

Have some fun and do a bit of exploring. If you find any broken links or mistakes please let us know! Our goal is to make our website as easy to use and helpful as possible so please let us know if you have trouble with any part of it!

Most of the credit for this project goes to Leanne Mitton, our very patient and always helpful web designer.
