It's Been a Year?
We are amazed and delighted to announce on May 17 we will have been in our new location a full year! As you may know, after 34 years in our old location on Burton Dr we up and moved around the corner to our expanded space at the corner of Bridge and Main. The building address is 4210 Bridge, which has caused more than a few people some confusion, we regret to say. If you're still looking for us, our entrance is right on Main Street. To celebrate this occasion we're opening the yarn vault! Over the years, the Ball & Skein has collected an impressive collection of yarn and starting on Friday May 17 we'll be offering some fiber history to you. We're packaging unique, 'vintage' yarn into bags of 5 and 10 skeins and will be offering them at very attractive pricing! You'll be able to see them, but no, you won't be able to 'mix and match' or open bags. Believe us, you'll find things you want at some pretty attractive prices. The One-year celebration starts on Friday, May 17 and runs through Saturday, June 1. This is an event you'll not want to miss! Keep an eye on our web site for all the latest information including how to order on-line during this two week celebration of our fiber community.

Schacht comes to Cambria!
Ever thought about weaving? It's fun and another way to fall in love with fiber!
If you're a knitter or crocheter but always wanted to explore weaving, we now have a selection of fine ways to dip your toe into the weaving waters. From the small, simple laptop looms from Harrisville Designs, to the fun Cricket and Flip Folding Loom from Schacht, these American Made rigid heddle looms are designed to help you get up to speed with weaving in a short time.
We're enjoying experimenting with different fiber types, textures, and colors and seeing some of our favorite yarns in a whole new way.
Stop in and explore a new way to express yourself with fiber!

Two Charity Funds
Two organizations we'd like to mention this month, if we may. The first is in memory of an old, dear friend of ours we recently lost. Joanne was a wonderful, warm, caring, and generous person. We're happy to have known her and will always have a hole in our lives without her. |
