Five years ago today what was once this
Became this.
Five years ago today we opened our doors in this location to you, in our 1940's restored post office. Hired more fiber fanatics, doubled the amount of yarn on site, started our own dye studio and never looked back. Thank you for your continued support. Thank you for allowing us to grow with Poste Yarn, our kits and clubs, our special edition collaborations with our dyers. For helping us support small dyers and families and allowing us to do something we love and are proud of every day.
Our place in this universe is small, but we do what we do the best we can and I hope it shows. Thank you so, so much.

Congratulations! I have been with you every step of the way and couldn't be happier. You can buy yarn many places (although your selection is amazing) but your service and customer support can't be equaled! Here is to many more years--you have two little guys to put through college!

I looked forward to each progress post about the "new" shop space. And when there was a chance to get the special yarn that reflected the tile color on the wall, I didn't hesitate. I love my "LYS on the web"! Here's to many more years of wonderful fibers and your great staff and customer service!

Congratulations on five years of bringing. back to life a lovely old post office, and in contributing to your local economy by growing your business. You have the best customer service of any business I have ever ordered from, and you have an operation of love going on--- knitting is filled with love, with every stitch. Yes, there's a big universe out there, but I sure am glad that you created this beautiful happy place in it!
