In less than a week, Simply Socks Yarn Company will be celebrating our 14th Yarniversary at the shop! Come see us from 10-4 this Saturday, Mary 25 so we can show you how appreciative we are for allowing us to serve you for 14 years! We'll have tasty cookies (from this same baker we used last year b/c they were such a huge hit), contests from some of our fave dyers, free gifts with purchases, and a super good deal on something new.
We will be celebrating our birthday with you all summer long, starting in June, with limited edition kits of all shapes/prices/sizes, contests to win gift certificates, new colors and yarns, sales, gifts galore and more. We're going to party BIG TIME for three months and I can't wait to share everything with you. 14 seems like a random number, but to me it shows longevity for a crafty woman-owned small business that has made it through a recession and some very uncertain times, and I feel proud that through the years we have continued to grow with ethics, equality and service to others. I love that I get to directly employ some wonderful people, but I also contribute to the livelihood of hundreds of others every day- and you do too. Most of you will never meet us, or the dyers and workers we represent, but I do believe we'd all like each other. I feel pretty confident that we are good people who treat others with love and compassion, working to provide a good life for our families and our communities, and I cherish the relationships I have with the people I work with near and far. I feel lucky to be a part of this industry and this community and I hope it shows.
I welcome you to come and join in our festivities this Saturday at our shop at 1315 E State Blvd in Fort Wayne, Indiana. There are some nice places to eat close by, the weather is supposed to be warm (perhaps rainy) and nice for a drive with friends. Firefly Coffee House is a local fave that would be a great stop to knit with your group and take a break before you head back, if you're road tripping. We can't wait to share the shop with you, so come on by this Saturday or one of our open days this summer!
Congratulations on your Anniversary!🎉💐
Looking forward to Celebrating with You all on Saturday!!!
