Wanna Taste Some Yarn?
Did that catch your attention? Yes! I know some of you love yarn so much, if you could you would!
Friday evening (tomorrow night) we are hosting a Rowan Yarn Tasting. This means we’ll have a huge sampling of all the newest Rowan yarns for you to feel and imagine all the great creations you could make. So join me tomorrow night for some touching and feeling … and I’ll add some munchies and beverages and a SALE! on Rowan Yarns in stock.
