I know I'm being silly, but I was so excited to get my order. Hey, it only took me a year to get around to ordering !!!   I washed all the mohair and it is hanging out to dry.  I also got the pre-crimped eyes and I will never be able to use anything else again , I can tell already.  They look awesome.

I also got my TT shirt and it fits.  Yippee, Yahoo. So when things get happy here again I can wear it with pride.

The service was excellent and shipping was faster than expected.  Thanks Intercal !!!!!  I now publically admit I have a mohair addiction ..............please help  :crackup:

Big Fuzzy Hugs, Tammy

Oh Tammy... YES.. you will LOVE the eyes!  And the addiction can be outright insane at times.... I only RARELY make large mohair bears.... but each and everytime I look through the on line catelogue, I just can't help but buy another fat quarter (or so!!!!)  ENJOY!

HAPPY DANCE  :dance:
That box is Christmas Morning for me bear_grin !  But be careful...it IS addictive  :crackup:

AND you're right...the service is the best!  I've never had a company call me if an item is not in stock and offer another solution...Intercal DOES! How many time do you order from a store (clothing, household goods, whatever) and get a "backordered" stamp or note?! Not intercal...they truly go above and beyond.  Love it  bear_wub

Oh Tammy, did you know you are treading on dangerous water, when you ordered the mohair LOL!   I still remember the very first piece I bought over 12 years ago - a mini dense short mohair and I still have a tiny piece of it.  That first tiny bear made from mohair put me over the moon and I've never looked back.  The sad part for me is that I used to buy so much mohair when I did shows, that I could probably make bears for the next five years and not use it up, so I haven't bought anything new for ages.  Can't wait to see your first mohair bear!

                                                   hugs,

Oh Brenda I had already made a few mohair bears.  I just never got around to ordering from Intercal.  I got some pieces from a seller in Ontario and was very pleased with them.  Intecal had some pieces I really wanted to try too, but I hate worring about customs.  But, the box arrived with no problems.   bear_thumb

I have to admit, I love those eyes also.

It took me a long time to finally buy them, but they are worth every penny.

There is almost nothing I love more than getting a nice BIG box from intercal!

Oh Tammy...I remember my first Intercal order...I could hardly wait for it to arrive and was thrilled when it did.  Sometimes I find myself just feeling the mohair for no other reason but because I can.

I love the precrimped eyes too...I have some that are not and I never use them anymore.  Kind of wasteful I would guess but so what...

Oh boy, I know that feeling only too well Shantell...I'm like a kid with a new toy.

Tammy, the feeling I get from receiving parcels from Intercal is a mixture of warmth, happiness and excitement. I'm not just speaking of the first time...it's like Christmas every time for me! Then I can't wait to start the next project! bear_grin

Enjoy it, these sorts of feelings don't come round too often...not unless you order mohair every week! :crackup:

Hi, all you Canadian ladies - you should not be charged any duty on your parcels from Intercal.  They are not in competition with any Canadian company, as they are one of only two places that import from the mills, and both are in the US.  You may however, be charged the PST and the GST.  If you have a PST number, then you can get that back by sending in a special form to customs, I believe it is a B2 form, but don't quote me on that number.  Ditto with duty if you are charged any.

Hope that helps.

Fantastic Tammy,

Yep, It always does feel like Christmas Morning.  I remember one Christmas morning when my main present was a box from Intercal.  My hubby ordered on line from intercal and it had a little bit of everything in it.  Boy double whammy!  He didnt pay attention to the coupons though!  I couldn't believe it!


Enjoy you guys.  I love they way they package everything.....the little celophene packets for the eyes and everything wroappedup so well....

You will love they eyes.....the pre crimped are all I ever use for the glollies, mini bears, big bears.....they are truly worth every penny!
