5. How long have you been in business, and what inspired you to open a LYS?
We celebrated our second anniversary this January. Previously, we did editing (primarily academic books) and writing (primarily about energy and transportation), and we were looking for something new. The lack of a yarn shop nearby seemed to be a hint as to what our next step could be.
6. What's your favorite thing about having a LYS?
Meeting our customers. They’re such a creative, interesting people. And we like having the shop be a community gathering place. (Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the workday is spent surrounded by piles and piles of wonderful colored yarn.)
