Our Yarn Department Is Being Phased Out
We are sad to announce that our Yarn Department will be phased out after the first of the year. Anne and Sue have worked very hard, we've attracted new customers who have become friends, and we've introduced knitting and crochet to people who now have a new passion. And it's been a lot of fun. But the hard reality is that there is not enough sales volume to justify keeping the yarn area open.
Why are we announcing it now? Three reasons . . .
(1) If there is yarn that you've had your eye on you might want to purchase it now. Yes, we will be marking merchandise down at some point after the first of the year, but the best quality yarn will no doubt go fast once markdowns begin.
(2) We have some amazing prices on finished shop samples (hats, scarves, shawls, etc.) if you need some last minute holiday gifts.
(3) We all have our fingers crossed that there might be someone (or a group of fiber lovers) in our community who will step forward to buy this part of the business and keep a yarn shop active in our community. A co-op model, perhaps? If you're interested please contact me ASAP.
All of you who come for Sit & Stitch on Tuesdays and Fridays are welcome to continue through January. Sue and Anne will both be working limited hours through January. If you need help with a project you are working on, please call ahead to see who is here.
I know this news will disappoint many. I'm very sorry. I'm disappointed, too. We all are. But sometimes in business tough decisions are necessary, and this is one of those difficult times.
Warm regards, Karen
