I moved to west Tennessee in Sept of 2023 in retirement. I had just begun more intense yarn dying for my own personal use. I had owned a shop in Washington state in 2014 -2017 but had to close to care for my mother who had lung cancer. Once we settled in here, I had made a few friends and was offered the opportunity to rent a good-sized room inside a beautiful quilt shop to sell my yarns and give classes. It just morphed into a whole yarn store when I wasn't looking! I opened my shop in Jan 2025 and became part of what we call the Hobby Hub as there's also a beautiful used bookstore inside our building and I have not looked back. I have also just started my hand at painting with acrylic and I believe it will give me better insight into my yarn dying. 
I love the excitement of people learning to knit or crochet and them using my yarn to create beautiful items. I also make and sell many items in craft and farmers markets, mostly Amigurumi. I'm really looking forward to meeting new customers and friends this year, and what beautiful creations are in store.
