We are halfway through 2018 and this is our first blog post of the year, wow! It's been such a busy year so far. We celebrated our 3rd anniversary, and have been working hard to refine our vision and our mission.
As a yarn shop, our goal is to provide amazing yarns sourced from unique companies, excellent project guidance, inspiration, and community. But as someone who is so passionate about fiber crafts and the positive effects they can have on our lives, I can't help but see what we do as something bigger, broader.
I love helping each and every one of you find the perfect project and grow as fiber artists. Over the last three years, though, I've come to understand the fiber arts as a form of self-care and community building. It brings me immense joy to see so many different and amazing people come together to share in their passions. I've witnessed special friendships blossom (and of course developed some truly special friendships of my own). Our world is so very lacking in places where people can gather and bond, and we are so honored to be one such place. When we announced ourselves as a Safe Space, we received so many messages of appreciation from so many people in the community, and we strive to continue being a place of inclusion and acceptance.
