Cynthia B asks …

Are there any "strings" attached to the e-newsletter?
My answer: In the e-newsletter, I am more likely to talk about yarn and thread (rather than string, lol). Sorry, couldn't help myself. But seriously, no, there is no obligation to buy or pay anything, and you can unsubscribe at anytime.
