I'm told
that the store looks small from the outside, but we have 2200 sq
ft of shop space and average 45,000 balls of yarn out on the floor
(not counting our backroom stock!). Plus, in addition, we have 2
workshops; one smaller "dry" classroom
for weaving and knitting classes and another larger classroom which
has 5 sinks that make felting and dyeing
classes easy. Dyeing classes also enjoy the 350 sq ft of perennial
garden - featuring many dye plants - out back.
Some
like the anonymity of the internet and others like to put faces
with names behind the scenes. So for those who are interested...
  This
is Chloe, she is the official store greeter! She is really very
friendly...particularly if
you
have
a biscuit in your
pocket, which it seems most Vermonters have?! She is very
"kid friendly", but can be put out back if anyone visiting
the store is uncomfortable.
  My
sister Joany is shown here knitting at the Knit N'Nosh charity event
here this
past March and admiring one of the Loose End Scarf kit products for
the charity auction. Wielding what I believe to be the quickest needles
in the east , she often hangs out here lending her technical expertise
to customers' knitting
questions and is an invaluable help making store models.
 Betsy,
shown here modeling another Loose Ends Scarf kit made for the charity
auction, teaches many of the knitting classes here and also lends
her years of knitting experience and great sense of color & style
to helping customers get off on the right foot with their new projects
or to troubleshooting their
problems
with
ongoing projects.
 My
sisters Robin (left) and Wendy (right) are shown here working out
the details of a future
felting class. Robin teaches many spinning, felting and silk related
classes here at the store, as well as at guilds around the country,
SOAR, Creative Strands and Convergence. Wendy lends her moral support
to the store's activities, and is always willing to jump in to
fiber related activities we embark on. Though, as we lovingly joke
that it
took her 19
hours to complete my 2 hour mitten kit, you won't find her here offering
advice or helping customers with projects!
Since I'm
the one behind the camera, I don't have a photo of myself to upload
yet, but I'll get one at some point. I'm Jennifer, the owner.
