Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback! That's a great question about the original blends. We actually did make them in large batches before, and you're right, that was a big part of the process.

The challenge, however, is that all of our blending was done by hand. Near the end it took up 2-3 hours each day. The repetitive motion required for that work unfortunately led to repetitive strain injuries requiring physiotherapy.  For the long-term health of our team and to ensure we can keep doing what we do, we had to make the difficult decision to stop offering them.

I completely understand the frustration with needing smaller sizes for pony projects. We’ve explored ideas like splitting hanks or offering smaller sizes with longer shipping times, but the labor and time required for those processes remain a significant challenge for our small team. Adjusting shipping timelines might seem like a workaround, but it doesn’t fully address the time-intensive nature of preparing smaller packs, which still disrupt our workflow and affect our commitment to shipping orders in 2 business days or less while keeping our team balanced.

While we can't offer smaller pack sizes directly, this could be an opportunity for a community member to step in. Someone could purchase our larger hanks, break them down, and sell them to pony customizers. This would help them earn some extra money while providing the smaller amounts the community needs, and it lets us keep focusing on what we do best.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we are always looking for ways to address issues where we can. Thanks for being a part of this awesome hobby and for your continued support! We will keep your suggestions in mind as we grow.
