Announcement about Nectars

From now on, Nectars will be sold in 3-packs. Any current 5-pack orders will still be filled.

Cotton isn’t as forgiving to work with, and I’m spending way too much time, and wasting too much thread while making them.

I can’t react with an :cry: emoji… so, uh… :cry:

Did my swap thing, turned out awesome! Ended up with a true Christmas look, a Creamsicle, and a Citrus! :slightly_smiling_face:

Imperial halfsies ended up pretty fun looking too!

Sound like the perfect time to create a sweet fixie trick called “Whooping Cough”.

Hmm… OK, I’ll try that out tomorrow! :wink:

How do you pop the butterfly caps without shattering them? I heard some stressful noises when just trying to pull the 2 halves apart on one of my butterflies earlier this year - had done the paracord wrap trick to pull it apart.

So far I’ve just used a very slight twist back and forth while pulling them apart by hand, then groove lock pliered the axle and jiggled the other side out, then just hit it with a punch about the size of the opening from the inside for more surface area, swapped caps, and squeezed them back together by hand as well.

So far I haven’t had any cracking, and I have some non-expanding glue for the axles but haven’t actually had to use it yet. They’ve all gone back together with no wiggle luckily.
