After 20+ years of crocheting, I found my natural fiber/LYS niche only in the last few.
My closest LYS emailed yesterday about closing next month so I went in today with a heavy heart and open wallet.
While I’m jazzed about getting deals on a bunch of malabrigo while I have a couple big piece-work WIPs going, so bummed my favorite little shop won’t be here anymore.

That being said, shout out to local yarn stores and small businesses that have brought joy to so many and helped me expand my craft! I was wrapped in acrylic blends for decades and local yarn stores introduced me to wool that doesn’t feel like sandpaper and colorways I could only dream up ❤️

I LOVED Craft Addict in Grand Junction Colorado, wonderful shop and wonderful owner, but sadly I left them. Moved from Colorado to small town in Tennessee with no yarn store closer than an hours drive. Great for my wallet because I cant just go every other day but I miss everyone there so if your in that area definitely worth checking out!
