All the fiber news!
June 21, 2021
Happy Summer! Okay, we know it's very hot and muggy but that doesn't stop y'all from getting your fiber on, does it? It's also the season for yarn reps to visit and show off their fall yarns. This means we're picking out new yarns for y'all! So far, we've met with Berroco, Cascade, Sirdar, and several other brands. Whooot!
More good news! We are starting to hold 'regular' (think, pre-COVID style) classes again. Our first normal class will be Beginning Rigid Heddle Weaving with Debbi (sorry, the first session is full but stay tuned for more dates). Wendy is working on a limited class schedule, too. We think we can see normal from here, woohoo!
If you're wondering about our mask policy...yes, we still require masks in the store. Although SA has vaccinated a large portion of its residents, many of you and several of us either have compromised immune systems or live with someone who does. Out of an abundance of caution, we still ask that you help us keep us all safe. We're hoping to relax our policy soon and will let you know as soon as we can change to mask-optional.
