Yarn Garage, Up Close & Personal, Part 1

I thought it was high time I showed you kittens some of the ins and outs of the store where I work.

Click on the pics - there's SO much to see in each of them!

The front of the store - I have a more head-on shot, but this one shows the new sign Steven just had made on the side of the building and the chalkboard out front.


When you walk in the door, you're greeted with our seasonal section. We tend to put yarns here that coincide with the changing weather. Right now we're featuring a variety of cottons in beautiful colors.












Our front window hosts the vast array of felting wools. Cascade, Nashua, Lamb's Pride, Noro, Lopi, and many more. Not to mention the many samples of felted purses and bags!

We've also got this wonderful Norwegian Wool that's one of our special sale yarns through the summer. You won't believe the price on this stuff!

Nestled in with all of these yarns is some roving. Merino, Corriedale, and Soy Silk - perfect for the spinning enthusiasts or even someone wanting to give it a whirl.

This is our newest redesign section of the store. We're taking down some of the shelving that was on the wall - Steven had this neat idea to hang the sides of old baby cribs on the wall and use them to loop the yarn over. It looks really neat and it's an easy way to make the yarn accessible.


As you can see, the old historic building the store is in has these great 12 foot high ceilings and Steven's stocked this place all the way up.

This photo shows the beginning of the classic knitting and luxury yarns aisle where we've got merino wools, alpaca, bamboo, cashmere, and silks.























My current favorite in this aisle is the Silk Rhapsody by Art Yarns.

Just look at those colors! This fiber is very very soft and it's wonderful to knit with. In fact, that green and taupe hank came home with me today.

Check back tomorrow to see part 2!! There were WAY too many photos to put in just one post!
