As you may know, our team at the shop has undergone some big changes this spring and summer. I am excited to announce my new management team: Darian and Linda!
I am so grateful to Alex for helping to onboard our new managers before she left. Darian has been with us for many years and has grown tremendously in her role at the shop. Darian can recite the entire color range for most of our yarns, and has been a key part of our inventory management for quite some time. She is our resident cotton expert and novelty yarn lover, always lending a hand to help everyone find the best yarns for their projects! I am so delighted for her to take on this new role as a manager.
Linda joined us a short time ago but quickly showed her management skills (and also her desire to deal with the tech support for our point-of-sale software). With a background in bar management, she has some, let’s say, unique experiences that have proven to be very relevant to our work here at the shop. Linda helps keep us all organized, has put new systems in place, and her sense of humor keeps everyone laughing. I’m so excited to have her join my management team. I say “my” because they are both keeping me on track and organized in an amazing way!
Please give them both a big congrats when you stop in next! #meettheteam #fibrespaceyarnistas #shopalxva #otboutiques
Have you ever wondered how to say some of these yarn names from De Rerum Natura? We did too, so we grabbed Sebastien from @lafromagerie to help us out! He was a reluctant participant… #dererumnatura #dererumnaturacyrano #dererumnaturagilliatt #dererumnaturabérénice #shopalxva #otboutiques
It’s #toolstuesday! Today Heather is talking about organization and storage of your tools, thanks to the latest shipment from @redesigned_project of Denmark! These new needle cases will help you keep your circular needles from getting out of control, and this backpack will hold your projects and everything you need to stitch on the go. They’re made in the most gorgeous leather! Be sure to grab their leather care as well, and these pieces will stand the test of time. Check out these and other leather goods in space and online in our capsule collection! #leathergoods #needlecase #knittingnotions #projectredesigned #shopalxva #otboutiques
It`s #MustMakeMonday, and summertime is the perfect time to get crafty with Raffia! Have you seen the newest tote pattern from @olgajazzyknits?

We`ve got tons of great colors of Ispie Raffia in space ready for you to cast on. (Now in our capsule collection online as well)!
