Got Yarn?

We do... Our house has become yarn central with little space to move.

We are advancing into inventory mode and placement of the yarns and venders. We have halve the shelves purchased and assembled with the others on the way. A  few photos of what we have with our Madelinetosh yarns in place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We promised a full line of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift. Now it's time to start putting these "cute little babies" on a shelf and in order. Here's a few pics for you.

 

 

 

Catching Up (Is it all uphill? huff, huff, puff, puff ...)

We know it's been a while since we've talked, but time is short and there is SOOO much to do. Here's a few updates.
Last week was such fun. We signed our lease and the very next day demolition of interior walls began. Before the weekend we were choosing paint and tile. Jim has been busy building our sales counter which will be very unique. Pictures soon to come.
This week we will be sitting down with more sales reps. We've already placed an order with Malabrigo and Cascade yarns, with most yarn weights, nice selection and deep color palette for you to choose from, along with four indie dyers and their great selection like Palouse Yarn Company, Alexandra's Crafts, Stitch Jones and Dicentra Designs. We know of another great yarn store opening up in the Vancouver area, Urban Wolves. We are following their blog and trying not to overlap the yarn selections they have chosen to carry. We will carry Madelinetosh brand yarns but will stock their Tosh Merino, Pashmina Worsted, Tosh Chunky, Prairie, Tosh Merino Light and Home (new line). We already have half our Tosh line available for the opening this September 1st and the other half is coming soon. We also have a full color palette of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift.
There's more to come. We'll keep you posted.
Our location is here, and this is a peek at our store entrance:

                              

Blizzard Yarn and Fiber is coming together! And Our Journey Begins...

Hello fellow crafters! It's been in the plans for three years. Lots of discussions, lots of planning, lots of demographics, searching for the perfect location, the perfect time and with all of your help and fantastic ideas it's starting to come together. Your new yarn shop will be just off Andresen and 4th Plain, perfectly located in the heart of Vancouver. Tomorrow we will be signing the lease and our journey begins! :) Join us, it will be fun!
