We have been busy dyeing, moving looms, and getting set up … and now we hope you will join us at the opening for the SweetGeorgia Yarns Studio! It’s a weaving studio… it’s a hand-dyed yarn shop… it’s a production dye studio… come see for yourself! We’re located at East 4th Avenue and Main Street in Vancouver.

Saturday, November 15, 2008 from 2pm to 5pm
401 – 228 East 4th Avenue, Buzz 32
Vancouver, BC

The online shop has been updated with a few new yarns including CashSilk Lace and Big Buttercrunch. CashSilk Lace is 55% cashmere and 45% silk 2-ply laceweight in 60g skeins. Big Buttercrunch is a chewy, sproingy 100% silk boucle in 50g skeins. Also in this shop update are freshly dyed Superwash Sock and Speed Demon Sock yarns, and 20/2 Silk yarn. Your feedback and comments on these yarns are welcomed!

Now that we’ve got more yarns dyed up, the online shop updates should be more frequent. Also, Vancouver residents will have the option to skip shipping fees and arrange to come pick up your orders. We’ve also set up Visa and Mastercard processing in case you prefer not to use PayPal. Please let us know if these new options make a difference for you or if you have any new suggestions on how we can improve things.

And finally, one important note… I am out of town from Sunday until October 30th and so all orders will ship during the first week of November. I hope this doesn’t cause anyone inconvenience and I appreciate your patience as I get my schedule more organized. In the meantime, I hope to find some lovely things to write about during my travels and I hope to see you on November 15th!
