Main Street Yarn Under New Ownership

Today is a very exciting day for StixLady (aka me, Debrah Cruze). It's the very first day I am the proud new owner of Main Street Yarn. First off, I just want to shout out a big THANK YOU to Marie Connelly, the original owner of the shop. Marie laid a strong foundation when she opened Main Street Yarn four years ago this month. She has been an invaluable help during this transition and I will be forever grateful. Thank you sincerely, Marie! We hope to see a lot of you as we're working to continue what you started. Best wishes for happiness in this new season in your life.

A few notes about me. I am a lifelong needleworker, quilter and heirloom seamstress extraordinaire, crocheter and knitter, of course! I'm married to Kerry and we have three grown children, Andrea, Tyler and Grady, plus four grandsons and one granddaughter due in June. You may see a young woman with a growing belly around the shop - that's Andrea, my daughter. She'll be teaching classes and working part-time with us after Miss Emmeline Jean is born!

I'm sure the burning question on all of your minds is: will there be changes at Main Street Yarns? Of course! You'll still see many of the wonderful, familiar staff you've grown to love. Given that my bottom line is hospitality and welcoming you to our second home, the shop, whatever changes I do make will be nothing but positive and geared toward YOU - our friends and customers. Please stop in soon because I'm anxious to meet you!

  5. I look forward to seeing you guys sometime soon. I've been coming to Main Street since it opened (it's one of the only places I haven't been snubbed for being a young knitter). I'm excited about the possiblity of spinning classes also!
