Retail Shop Closed, Online Store Open!
Summer 2009 turned out to be a sad time because I had to close the retail yarn store located in San Rafael, CA. Operating costs were way too high and the economy was taking a toll. Moving day was very strenuous but I got through it just fine.
After closing the store I faced a choice: leave the yarn industry all together and go back to web programming full time or stick with yarn. My heart breaks every time I envision myself not surrounded by yarn! So here I am with a revitalized web store.
After taking about a month off to recuperate, I am hard at work making the Marin Fiber Arts shopping site better than ever! I have made special arrangements with certain yarn companies (Pagewood Farm, Mountain Colors, and Aurora Yarns to name a few) to be able to list a huge variety of yarns and colors on the website. I am literally adding items to the site on a daily basis!
I’ve also just created a category on the site for Clearance Yarns – products left over from the shop when I closed. All of this yarn is marked down 50% or more! If you love shopping for sale yarns, check out the clearance area often.
