Mrs. I's Yarn Parlor is closing her doors on May 31, 2012. Unfortunately business has been on the decline and we just don't have any reserves left to continue subsidizing the store......so we're going to close up shop - for now.
Starting Wednesday, May 9 - everything except the Blackberry Hills yarns will be 25% off. Open knit groups will continue to meet thru the end of May - then will move to my house at 510 River St, Osceola starting in June. I will be retaining some inventory to start a new business venture which is of course.....all about yarn!
How much fun would it be to have a yarn shop in your living room when gathering your friends for a knitting night? Whether you want to set up a mini store in your living room - or want to have a special project/class for your group....just give me a call and we'll set it up! "My Own Private Yarn Shop" will come to your home, church or favorite coffee shop.
Some suggested classes are: Beaded fingerless mitts, Cabled Leg Warmers, Basic Baby Sweater, Thrummed Mittens (crochet), Baby Blanket (knit or crochet), Fair Isle Mittens, Shopping Bags (knit or crochet), Double Knit Head bands or hats, Fair Isle Hats, Sport Team Hats, Prayer Shawls, chemo caps..........the possibilities are endless. When scheduling - you'll get a price list of what it costs/person for each project. Pick your project - or just have an open knit and I'll set up a mini store so your guests can shop at their convenience. As hostess - you'll be compensated with free yarn!
Also - be watching for my Fair Isle Sweater class being offered through the River Valley Folk School located at the Art Barn In Osceola, WI this August!
My new class list is as follows!
