The store will be closed this Monday, February 18 for Family Day.  I will be checking emails throughout the day if you have any questions.  We will be open again Tuesday morning at 10am. 
 
Korey and I have been working like crazy on the website.  The price of all Rowan and RYC yarns and books have been reduced.  These all should be updated now and we are working on the kits.  The new books aren't up yet but we are working on it as well. 
You will also notice some other changes with the site.  Now when you are looking at a yarn or book, just click on the name and you will be taken to the correct page.  It is much easier!! 
 
The store is starting to bulge at the seams so it is time to clear out some yarn.
