News from Double Ewe

July 29, 2012 

On November 1st, 2006, my husband and I opened Double Ewe in a tiny 800 foot space in the corner of a humble building.  Over the next six years, we've met so many awesome people.  We grew the business.  We tried new things.  We made a lot of new friends and rediscovered old ones.  We've seen many friendships grow between people that met at the shop.  We've shared the joy of new babies and also the grief of losing loved ones.  All of these experiences have been an incredible blessing...we wouldn't have missed it for the world.

But time marches on.  Our lease is going to expire this fall, and before signing up for another three years, we had to evaluate things:  how the shop is doing, and whether or not it still fits in our life plan.  While the shop is holding its own, we've decided that it's time to move on.  Running a yarn shop, although very rewarding, is also very time (and life) consuming, and there are so many things we want to do with our lives:  the list is endless.   It's time to turn the page to the next chapter.

 

The Next Chapter Sale

 

So, this Tuesday, July 31st, we're starting a "Going Out of Business" sale, but I don't want to call it that...it has such negative connotations.  Let's call it a "Next Chapter" sale.  All in-stock merchandise is 25% off:  needles, notions, patterns, books, yarn, yarn and yarn.  Starting Tuesday, all sales are final.  Yarn purchased before July 31st can still be returned under store policy, but you must complete returns by 8/31/12.

 

Double Ewe Rewards

 

We've had a rewards program for years.  It went like this:  "For every $250 spent on regularly priced merchandise and class fees, you can earn a $20 coupon." 

Because the entire shop is now being discounted, you won't be able to accumulate any rewards going forward.  If you have receipts saved up, please bring them in as soon as possible.  No new coupons will be issued after 8/18/2012. 
For the duration of the sale, these coupons will be applied against the full retail price before calculating any discounts.

 

Gift Certificates

 

Of course, gift certificates hold their entire value right up until the day we're closed.  Shop early for the best selection, though.  If you purchased a gift certificate during the month of July 2012 and you're rethinking it, please talk to me.

 

Class Punchcards

 

Our Wednesday morning Knitter's Choice and our Thursday afternoon Knit Along with Ann will continue through August.  If you have unused punches, please talk to me and I'll refund them to you.

 

Nancy Lindberg Classes   

Nancy is going to continue her Tuesday and Thursday classes at her home in Circle Pines (Yay!!!).  Tuesdays will be from 1:00 - 3:00, and Thursdays will be from 11:30 - 1:30.  These will be drop-in style classes, so you're not committed to a specific number of classes.  $10 per session, come when you can.  This is open to everyone, even if you haven't taken classes with Nancy in the past.  Her home is conveniently located a very short distance from the shop.  If you're interested in participating, please email Nancy at [email protected].  Classes will be starting September 18th and 20th.  

 

One final thought:  If you're interested in carrying the torch and purchasing Double Ewe, please talk to me.  I'd love to see the shop continue on.   

That's the scoop for now.  Talk to you real soon.
