New Friday Hours!

No comments:
Starting Friday, September 24th, Darn Yarn Needles and Thread will have new Friday hours. We will now be open on Fridays from 10am - 2pm.

While I'm going to miss Shelly, she did a great job, I'm excited about Chris working on Fridays. I've known Chris for over 10 years... during those 10 years I've worked with her on her reading, math, and life skills. Like an older computer, her brain works well enough, it just sometimes computes much slower than most. Because of this she doesn't interview well and has childish handwriting, even though she's a people person, can learn, and can make change.

Chris is very friendly and loves talking to people. She's excited about working at DYNT. If you stop in the Markethouse on Friday's when Chris is working, say hello, introduce yourself. While she's just learning to crochet, and can't answer many questions about using the different yarns for different projects, she'll be glad to show you where the wool yarn is, or help you pick colors...

Odds and ends.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the Schaefer Yarn Tasting! It was a fun event, I don't know how anyone could not like some of the colors! I did pick up a few skeins of cotton and a few skeins of wool. More will be arriving in a few weeks. I'll be sure to let you know!

Unicorn Fabric Wash is now in stock too. Stop by and pick some up. It's great for all your hand washables, but especially your prized finished pieces.

Today was slow at the Markethouse on Main. But that was ok. I was able to get the bike rack painted. Check it out next time you stop by... we're bike friendly (surprise!).

I recently taught myself to knit. I'm working on a sweater! I'm practicing with some acrylic yarn, but I'm excited to try the same pattern (From Son of a Stitch - n - Bitch, available @ DYNT) in some of the wool blends at DYNT. Christmas is coming...hmm.
