Shop News!

 
Welcome to Fiber News!
                  Hello Yarnies!
I just relized that I never sent out an update on my surgery!  Shame on me.  I am back in the shop and recovering quite nicely.  I want to thank you all so very much for the cards, notes, texts, emails and prayers, they mean the world to me.  And I believe that my surgery and recovery went so well because of them.

Great News!
The shop will now be open on Fridays from 12-4 beginning this Friday, August 8th.  Tracie will be here to assist you with all your fiber needs and I will be back to Friday's in September.

Additional good news:

The inventory  reduction sale is continuing a little longer!  I do need to make room for new yarns which will begin arriving soon.  Along with several wonderful yarns my NORO stock has been discounted (which rarely happens) and today I found out that Tasogare (similar to Silk Garden only in the Dragon Eggs) is being phased out so look for a deeper discount on this one!

Who knows, maybe other yarns will see additional discounts.  Be sure to take a look and see whats available .

I guess that's enough for now.  Remember to make it a great and play with fiber!
