Norumbega – a hearty New England classic

October 5, 2018 by Danielle Leave a Comment

This spring, I went on a hunt for another Aran weight yarn to add to our shop. I didn’t think that we had enough options in that gauge but was really coming up short on finding the right fit for my shop. Then I stumbled upon the Halcyon Yarn booth at our trade show! I… Read More »

January 30, 2018 by Danielle Leave a Comment

Before I opened the shop, I taught classes around the DC metro area and at the now closed Knit Happens. One of the classes that I once taught was a prep course for those attending the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. We had copies of the vendor map and plotted out what was hot and… Read More »

Welcome Pichinku to Space!

December 12, 2017 by Danielle 1 Comment

A few months ago I got a note from a new yarn company hoping that we would be interested in carrying their yarn. The owner and I chatted for quite awhile right after our move, and I couldn’t believe how many ways she and I overlapped. Her business is based in Pittsburgh, PA (my hometown)… Read More »

Color is the inspiration for Heather Rhoads of The Lemonade Shop

October 4, 2016 by Kim Leave a Comment

The woman behind the latest fibre addition to space — The Lemonade Shop — is Heather Rhoads. She started The Lemonade Shop in 2011, following a career in marketing.

This new yarn is Elemental

October 15, 2015 by Kim Leave a Comment

As luck would have it, it’s all in the name. The origin of Elemental Affects, owner Jeane deCoster said, was prompted by an unavailable domain. Undeterred, she did a little research. “Most people don’t really know the difference between (effect and affect),” she said. “‘Effect’ is usually used as a noun but ‘affect’ is not.” More… Read More »
