Yarn!!



I posted HERE about the yarn factory closing.

I felt I needed to order some soft cottony yarn from them before the move.

Got the order today!!!! This picture is what 76 skeins of cotton yarn look like!! I got some pretty colors I have never seen before.

After receiving this order, I actually want to order more yarn!! But I don't think I will be ordering more.

Yarn factory selling to Canada

This is the article about the Yarn factory.

This story makes me so sad on many levels.

First, people are losing their jobs.

It's a family run business.

It's leaving the USA.

It's being sold to a Canadian company, which is really ok. But the Canadian company already makes a cotton yarn, and I dare say it is not as soft as the Pisgah Yarn & Dyeing company makes. I have some of the Canadian made cotton yarn too, because I buy by color and not necessarily country of origin.

Most of the yarn I buy is made here in the USA or Canada.

It just makes me sad that this company is packing up and moving out of the USA.
