Happy Labor Day

I just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a very Happy Labor Day.

We are taking a bit of time off. We are always closed on Saturday. But we will be closed on Sunday and Monday too. So, I will be back bright and early Tuesday morning!!

I hope all of you have a safe and blessed holiday weekend!!

Thank you,
Lisa

Price Changes

Well, we did it. We had to get a little creative, but we found a way to cut our expenses just a bit more. We did have to raise the prices on some of the yarns. But we got by with a smaller price increase than we originally figured.

The best part is that we were actually able to lower the price on other yarns!! So when you get a chance you may want to take a look.

From the looks of it I'm going to be able to lower the price on some of the custom order yarns too. I'll do that next week though.

We will continue to keep our overhead down as much as possible so we can keep our prices as low as possible.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!! I know I will. My son is coming home on leave this weekend. He's been deployed since Feb. He'll be home for a couple of weeks before he has to go back. We're all excited to get to see him!!

Thank you all for your continued patronage!!

Sale before the price increase.

Hi all, sorry I've been out of the loop for a few days. I got the flu!! Who gets the flu in the Summer?!?! I'm all better now though and back at it.

I wanted to remind you that within the next couple of weeks the prices on select acrylic yarns will be going up. So you might want to shop before the prices go up. AND...to help you BeatThePriceIncrease (hint: that's your coupon code.) We are running a sale. You can find out all the details by checking out the flyer posted at our web site Sale Flyer A link to this flyer can also be found on our What's On Sale Page at the website.

Also if you like cotton yarns as much as I do and you are trying to us U.S. made products as often as possible you might want to check out our latest business venture, www.cotton-corner.com

I hope you all have a fabulous day!!

Thanks again, so much for your continued patronage!!

New Handicrafter Economy Size Colors

I just wanted to let all of you know that we received new Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Economy Size colors in. Bernat did not put all of the new colors in the large balls. But they put some of them up in the larger skeins. Of course there were some colors that did not come in. We should be getting more within a couple of weeks though.

I hope you have a fabulous evening!!

Special Order Yarns

Hi all,

As promised I put up a special order page for the yarns that we have access to.
Here's a link to the page at the website;
http://www.yarn-and-threadbylisa.com/special_order_yarns.htm
I'm more than glad to order any of the yarns listed on that page for you. I know it can be so frustrating trying to find the yarn you want for a project. And then there is always the problem of finding enough in the right color or dye lot!! So, if I can help you find what you need just let me know.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Thank you,
Lisa

Custom Yarn Orders

I’ve had several of you contact me with concerns about being able to get your favorite Bernat or Patons Yarns. Don’t worry, just because we are not carrying all of the Bernat and Patons yarns anymore does not mean I can not get them for you. I am still more than willing to special order yarns for you. All you have to do is let me know what you need. You can call or email me. I’ll gladly take your order over the phone or I can send you a PayPal invoice by email.

I do have to ask that you order by the bag though. Since they are yarns that we are not carrying I do not want any leftovers. I can give you a price and bag quantity when you contact me. If for some reason the yarn is not available I’ll let you know as soon as I know so we can go to plan B. There is usually about a week delay for special order items to ship since I have to order the items in. I order every week though so special orders are not a problem at all.

I wish we could still carry all of the Bernat and Patons yarns. But quite frankly we are out of space!! Our warehouse is packed. So we had to make some very hard decisions. Of course only the best sellers get to stay. And we are trying to focus more on the American made products. That does not mean that the other yarns are not lovely yarns. It just means that they do not sell as well for whatever reason. And we have to be realistic here. It just does not make good business sense to tie up a lot of money on inventory that is not selling well.

As soon as I get a minute I want to put a page up at the website to list the yarns with bag counts and prices that I can special order for you. That might help for reference sake. Until I get the page up though don’t hesitate to contact me if you can not find a yarn you are looking for.

And of course if we are continually getting request for a yarn we will consider carrying it on a regular basis.

Thank you all for your continued patronage!!
