1. What is your website and email?
E-mail: There is a contact form on the website.
2. What is your Ravelry name/group?
3. Where are you located and what are your hours?
708 Sunset Lane, Culpeper, VA 22701.
From Northern Virginia take Rt.
29 from Warrenton to the fourth Culpeper exit which will be Rt. 29
business at the south end of the town. Pass the motels and at the first
traffic light turn right on Sunset Lane, start up the hill, and turn
into the parking lot with the Good Earth Florist on the opposite end of
the building.
Hours: Always check the website because they
sometimes change. Right now it's Sunday noon to 4 p.m., Monday
11:30-ish to 5 p.m., Tuesday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday - Closed,
Thursday 11:30ish to 8 p.m., Friday 11:30ish to 3 p.m., and Saturday 11
a.m. to 5 p.m. The "ish" on 11:30 is because the owner has an elderly
dog that has difficulty walking because of arthritis and sometimes it
takes her longer to leave home depending on what's happening with the
dog.
4. What kinds of things do you carry?
We are a
full service yarn shop, easily accessible to travelers using Rt. 29 from
Northern Virginia to Charlottesville. We always have a good selection
of hand-dyed sock yarns in addition to yarns from the larger commercial
companies. We also offer a small selection of hand-dyed spinning fibers
and some nice drop spindles from Kundert and KCL. Our main needle
selection comes from Addi, Hiya-Hiya, and Chiao Goo in the circulars and
Brittany and Chiao Goo in straights. And, we offer classes in basic
knitting and crocheting, various knitting techniques and projects,
beginner and intermediate spinning, and Tunisian crochet. Classes are
posted on our website.
5. What's your favorite thing about having a LYS?
The most obvious favorite thing is the opportunity to be around all the
pretty colors and fibers of so many different types. It's a pleasure to
look around the shop and be greeted by color everywhere. We've also
met some very nice people, but in addition to that, having a shop has
provided the catalyst for learning so many new skills. The more one
learns about various aspects of the fiber arts, the more there is to
learn. It tends to make you a very well rounded knitter who can
crochet, spin, do Tunisian crochet, design basic patterns, and even do a
little yarn dyeing.
