Event & Schedule News aka Safety First!
July 2, 2020
This past weekend, the City of San Antonio issued an emergency alert regarding the spread of COVID-19 in SA. Later in the week, Mayor Nirenberg and Judge Wolff also ordered that all businesses post a list of COVID-19 symptoms at employee and customer entrances. You will see these signs in Yarnivore's windows.
If you have symptoms, please stay home and order online. Yarnivore offers shipping and curbside - to maximize social distance, we can place your order in your trunk while you stay in your car (more details on how to curbside works, below). We encourage all y'all to to help everyone stay safe!
Yarnivore will stay open daily, but with limited hours. If you're shopping in-store, we require that everyone wear masks while in the store. Many in the fiber community are immune-compromised, so we want to keep everyone (and their loved ones) safe. Also, hand sanitizer is available at the front door and register, plus everyone is welcome to wash their hands in our bathroom. If you need to buy a mask, we have some available.
Did you know about the #weheartSAheroes campaign? This is an opportunity for all of us to thank essential workers and also promote mask-wearing when you can't social distance. (Yeah, we know masks are uncomfortable, but so are seat belts and we all wear those, too). Join us in showing some love for all the folks who are working in public! Use the #weheartSAheroes and #SAheroeswearmasks tags on your social media posts.
Product News! The latest boxes are full of Tosh Sock, Hempathy, Hiyahiya and ChiaoGoo needles, Furls hooks, Uneek fingering and worsted, Miyuki and Mill Hill beads and Coco Knits stitch markers, cord stoppers, and project bags! We also kept back a batch of Twenty 8 North for y'all!
Shopping Online tips
We continue to offer online shopping and curbside pick up. To use curbside pick up, place your order online (you can also go to our Products tab, above, and search for what you need, too).
Having trouble getting through check out? Try refreshing your browser (that circle/arrow thingy near the url bar); this seems to clear most issues.
Here's how curbside works after you place your order:
-We pull your order and mark it as In Process, which notifies you via email that we are working on your order.
-Then we pack your order and mark it as Ready for Pickup, which notifies you again via email. After receiving this 'ready' email, you can swing by any time we're open to pick up. (If you asked us to ship, you'll get notified once we mark it as Shipped.)
-Once you arrive, you can either call or come to the door and we'll hand you your order.
If y'all need info on the latest, go to our COVID-19 page for information & inspiration. We have links to various information (e.g., CDC, City of San Antonio), DIY mask patterns, and ways to stay active and healthy.
If y'all are making face masks and are ready to drop them off, you can leave them any time we're open.
Be safe, be well, be kind,
Caryn & the Yarnivore crew
Hiya! We're STILL (gah!) converting our website & point-of-sale to new software. Every product has to be manually entered, including any photos. In the year+ since we converted, we've made a lot of progress, but still need to finish some of the cosmetics and organizing. In the meantime, loading photos and descriptions is pretty time-consuming, so please be patient with us. :)
