The NEW Fibers!

Tuesday, 03 November 2009 12:34

WOW! What a lot of work it is to move, and how grateful we all are to our fabulous customer-volunteers who helped us pack, load, carry, unload and unpack yarn, books, needles, models... the whole shebang!

The dust is still settling, but we've been open for business through most of the move. We can find most things now :-) and our classes are running in our new, well-lit space at the front of the store! The whole shop has a completely different feel, with more light and fewer places for the goodies to be lost in.

Soon, we hope to have our coffee, tea and kombucha kitchen open! You'll be able to come in, sit down and relax while you knit, even bring your own mug and leave it at the store! We're planning this as a community effort, so you can pitch in to make it happen!

Parking is plentiful, and easiest on the street, rather than in front of the store. If you turn into School Street, you'll find 17 spaces! More parking spaces are along South Auburn on both sides of the street, up and down the street from our front door.

We don't have signs up yet, so look for us between Sugar Pine Quilt Shop and Empire Street. We're next to Cedar Ridge Upholstery, at 465 South Auburn Street -- right behind the beautiful tree! Hope to see you soon!

 

 

The Move to 465 S. Auburn St. Is ON!

Thursday, 15 October 2009 23:47

On Friday, October 16, we'll be moving, starting at noon. If you can help with boxes, a truck, a strong back, willing hands, a kind heart or a good laugh, please join us! If you can only sit, you can still help -- plenty of yarn needs to be shelved at sitting height!

On Saturday, we'll start at 10 AM. On Sunday, we'll be at the new store from noon to 4. Starting on Monday, we'll do roughly 10 - 4 until we're back up and running completely. 

The phone will switch sometime on Friday.

During the move, if you can find what you want to buy, you can buy it! We won't be able to dump out those huge Ikea bags to see if the color you want is at the bottom, but if you're helping us shelve yarn and you come across something you can't live without, you can certainly buy it! The internet (read "credit card processing") will be available on Tuesday. Checks and cash are always welcome, and we'll take your info for credit or debit card processing later, if you'd rather pay that way. 

 

We're Moving to 465 S Auburn St!

October is our big month -- we're moving from downtown Grass Valley, half a mile away to 465 South Auburn Street. We expect to start moving in earnest around the 13th, to make a big push on the weekend of the 17th, and to take the next week to get ourselves settled. we've had many offers of help from our terrific customers, and if you'd like to join the fun, please let us know! We need vehicles, strong backs, careful hands and fiber-lovers' hearts.

The Web Store is OPEN!

I'm so excited to tell you that you can now click on the STORE link... right over there on the left-hand navigation bar -- see it?? -- and you will actually go to the web store! Yippee!

We're still putting lots of things up, but Manos is there, and Schaefer, and other yarns, too. Notions, some handcrafted items... it's a start. I hope you enjoy it.

We have tons of new yarn in the physical store... we received 100 pounds on Tuesday of last week and had quite a time squeezing stuff around to make room for it! We've got lots of new superwash, some fun new yarns for the Baby Surprise Jacket, new organic cotton, beautiful long striping wool and silk yarn, Baby Alpaca Grande -- Omigosh, I could go on and on. 

On March 21, the Downtown Association is having a Spring Fling, and Fibers will be participating with our Bunny Event -- helping you to fold yours "origamically" into a rabbit. Don't miss it!
