You know that I often talk about how fibre space is really a space for people to gather, celebrate, and support one another—to truly be in community with one another. Over the weekend, we lost a bright presence in our fibre family, Katie Krueger, who was lost to a fatal accident in Arlington on Sunday. Over the years, it has been incredible to see Katie in the shop, as she has been a supporter and friend since long before I opened this brick-and-mortar space. You could feel her presence as soon as she entered, as she always had a warm smile and crafty mischief in her eyes. She carried a kind, gentle, and grounding attitude, and it was a joy to be around her, sharing laughs and crafty adventures. Whether it was discussing the next Kim Hargreaves kit she was working on or her work in Sudan where she positively impacted our global community, she gifted us all with her kindness and energy.
I’ve promised to be as transparent as possible about how tariffs are impacting our pricing here at the shop so I wanted to provide an update. The short answer is that we are doing our best to respond quickly as new information becomes available. The long(er) answer is that as a retailer, the constant, ever changing landscape of tariffs have made making inventory decisions quite difficult for retailers all across the country, us included. Many of us are owed thousands from our importers of record (places like FedEx, UPS, DHL) on tariffs we’ve already paid that were struck down by the courts. We have worked hard to pivot our inventory so that we can adjust prices quickly and make sure we’re offering you the amazing selection you’ve come to know us for. Thanks for continuing to be understanding with me and the staff as we navigate these sometimes daily changes. I am very much looking forward to a day when I no longer have to cosplay as a tariff expert in order to sell my string.
Y’all know we love Floops tools here in space. All of our team has a few in their notions bag. Here’s a quick tutorial on the many ways we like to use our Firls and Flox! Grab yours in space or online, these handy little tools tend to sell out fast!
Christina’s back with a tip that really helps make your FO’s look super polished and thoughtful - matching your cast on & bound off edges! While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with whatever CO & BO combo you use, matching styles can really make your work look elevated. What’s your favorite stitcher tip you’ve learned in your own stitching?
