All the fiber news!
March 1, 2021
What's that proverb about March weather? In like a lion and out like a lamb? It feels like the lion has been roaring for weeks now! We have spring fantasies, where we can where a short sleeved shirt and shorts or skirts without worrying about cold or wet weather. How about you?
Store Schedule
Yarnivore is open daily (11a-5p Monday-Saturday and 12p-5p Sunday). We continue to work smart so we can serve everyone while we keep staff and the fiber community safe; you can choose between online and in-store shopping or call the store. Need curbside pickup? No problem, just order online or by phone and then call when you reach the store.
If you're shopping in-store, we require that everyone wear a mask that covers both their mouth and nose. 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 several styles available.
What's New?
If you've been in the store, you've probably noticed that we're moving things around. We're making progress on adding new products and yarns, so you'll see that our empty cubbies are filling back up again. Check out our HUGE new bag/organizer section, our cross stitch kits, and our expanding needlepoint kit section.
