Typically this time of year we are getting ready for our Holiday Open House, which is an in-person yarn party when we have treats like cupcakes or cookies, sometimes do a Christmas craft and show off all the goodies you might want for the holidays. Like last year, this year we have decided that instead of having a big, busy day at the shop (we sometimes see a few hundred people in just a few hours) we want to space things out again. So we have decided to instead replace that big party with a week long Holiday Open House, being open to the public next week Monday through Friday, 10am-2pm each day.
A week of open days was a first for us when we did it last year, but we found we like space out things a bit so we don't have a couple hundred people descending on the shop at once, and we think that being open for a week straight (we are typically open to the public one day a week, and ship the other days) will allow us to help you better choose things you need to knit for your holiday gifts and get little gifts and tokens of appreciation each day from us at SSYC. Plus if you're bringing a friend or two with you, you have more days to fit into your busy schedules.
What can you expect next week? If you shop in person with us, we'll have various treats we will give out here and there.
Monday through Friday, December 5-9 10am-2pm - Free cotton tote with purchases each day, shown below. We'll have our "fishbowl contest" that you can enter to win each day, meaning if you put your name in the fishbowl all five days, you have five chances to win the prizes. In addition, each day we'll be offering the following:
Monday, 12/5 - Free hand made stitch markers with purchase
Tuesday, 12/6 - Free hand made stitch markers with purchase
Wednesday, 12/7 - Cookie Cottage cookies for all!
Thursday, 12/8 10am-2pm - 15% off three US dyers Urth Yarn, Laneras Yarn Co. and Miss Babs. (regular stock, not sale items)
Friday 12/9 10am-2pm - 15% off three imports from three different countries - Hedgehog Fibres of Ireland, Uschitita of the Netherlands and Qing of London
The discounts are only available in person and not before or after the day offered.
Do come see us at 1315 E State Blvd, Fort Wayne, IN during this week. And if you can't make it for the celebration, check out our hours that we have posted through March. We are open our normal Saturday, Dec 3 from 10-4, if you'd prefer to visit on a weekend day.
