Merry Christmas!

Yarn Department Update

We have some potentially good news this week related to the yarn department. There are a few fiber lovers talking about trying to keep the shop in town and running it as a co-op. If you are interested in investing in keeping yarn local and have some fun at the same time, email Anne Worthington soon.
