Hey Cumberland knitters and crocheters I need your help! As you may or may not know there is a brand new yarn store in town, Wool & Waves Yarn Store which is just down the street from me, beside Boulder Hill Bakery. It’s operated by the lovely Kristine. She carries great yarn and notions and is a very accomplished knitter with tons of knowledge to share. I carry a small selection of yarn,I’m not the best knitter, but I can crochet up a storm and help you with your crochet questions. If I can’t give you an answer I can help you to find it.
What I need your help with is this…should I continue to carry yarn and notions? Or let Kristine do that and pivot to something else that there is a need for in the village? Right now I carry a very eclectic assortment of products that make me happy 😍 clothing from Canadian brands, cleaning supplies from Vancouver Island, local jewelry and art and other handmade products made in the valley and on the Island and of course yarn. I enjoy supporting other small businesses and will continue to do that always but I am unsure whether Cumberland needs 2 places selling yarn. Please let me know your thoughts…♥️
