Een paar weken geleden liet iemand het me op Instagram weten: er was een nieuwe wolwinkel in Utrecht open en moest ik daar niet eens even langs? Mijn oortjes gingen overeind staan. Een nieuwe wolwinkel in Utrecht? Wat een geweldig nieuws, want die kon de stad eigenlijk wel gebruiken en dus liep ik afgelopen weekend even langs bij Sticks & Cups, wat een fijne wolwinkel. A couple of weeks ago someone tagged me on Instagram. There was a new yarn shop in Utrecht, and had I visited it yet? My heart skipped a beat. A brand new yarn shop? In my own little Utrecht! Now that's wonderful news, as it's really what the city needed I think. And that's why I visited this brand new yarn shop Sticks & Cups last weekend. Eigenlijk is deze winkel nog helemaal niet open. Dat wil zeggen: de grote opening moet nog komen en zal plaatsvinden op 1 oktober. Maar de deuren zijn geopend, er liggen massa's leuke wolletjes binnen buiten staan gezellige houten bankjes om fijn op te haken of een kop koffie op te drinken. De winkel is gevestigd in het oude pand van vintagewinkel Jut & Jul en de echte liefhebber weet dit schitterende historische pandje wel te vinden. The big opening of this store will take part on October 1st, but until then the doors are wide open, the yarns are stashed up hight and outside there are some comfy benches to crochet or nit on, or have some coffee. There used to be a vintage shop in this historical shop in Utrecht and the venue is just amazing. A must-go if you ever visit Utrecht. Zodra je binnenkomt word je meteen hartelijk verwelkomd door Lili, die op haar 4de jaar met haar ouders van Iran naar Nederland vluchtte. Haar glimlach is breed en haar enthousiasme aanstekelijk. Ze houdt van álles wat met wol te maken heeft: breien, haken, spinnen en ze kan je geweldige informatie geven als je iets moois wil maken. De nadruk ligt op Nederlandse garens bij Sticks & Cups, dus veel Scheepjes, maar ook Lopi en binnenkort hangen de wanden acherin de winkel helemaal vol met hand geverfde garens van kleine spinnerijen. Echt superleuk! Ik werd als vanzelf naar de enorme kast met Stonewashed getrokken, maar de glitter garens achterin waren ook zo mooi. As soon as you walk into the store you'll get a very warm welcome from the owner Lili, who fled Iran when she was 4 years old to come to The Netherlands with her parents. She is passionate about everything yarn and her enthusiasm is very catching. She loves knitting, crocheting and spinning. Lili emphasises on yarn originated from The Netherlands, so you'll find lots of Scheepjes yarns and hand dyed yarn by Dutch indie dyers at Sticks & Cups, as well as a whole collection of Lopi yarns. Lili is hoping to have the back of the store completely filled with indie yarns soon. I was immediately attracted to cupboard with Scheepjes Stonewashed, but the fine flittery yarn was also amazingly beautiful. Ik hoop op 1 oktober echt even een kijkje te gaan nemen bij de grote opening. Lily vertelde me bovendien dat ze op donderdagavonden 'knit ins' wil gaan organiseren. Dat is nu precies wat Utrecht nog nodig had! Ik ga hopelijk regelmatig van de partij zijn en hopelijk vindt Lily het dan niet erg dat ik zal haken in plaats van breien. Hopefully I'll be able to make the grand opening on October 1st. Lily also told me that she'll organise knit ins, on Thursday nights after the big opening and I think that's so clever. We don't have anything similar in town and I do feel Utrecht needs this. Hopefully I'll be able to join the knit ins often, and Lily won't mind me crocheting instead of knitting.

Welcome to My Rose Valley's little Yarn Shop! I am officially opening the doors for my new Yarn Shop page. This is exciting. I feel like a 7 year old Annette playing Post Office, pretending to fill out bills, order slips, stamping and receiving cash in form of buttons and playing cards form my friend the customer... So childish and so much fun. After the Scrumptious Tilda Yarn Give Away I took the chance to order some extra yarn in your favorite colors, and now they are here and ready for your to shop and try. The selection is limited, take your chance and order your favorite colors pronto before anyone else gets it... I really hope you will enjoy this wonderful yarn as much as I do. Kärlek Annette

Zoals een aantal van mijn volgers wel weten ben ik sinds afgelopen zomer samen met mijn jongste dochter begonnen met een quilt/handwerkwinkeltje in Gorinchem. We hebben met de start van The Crazy Quilt een drukke periode achter de rug. Inmiddels wordt het allemaal weer wat rustiger en heb ik af en toe weer tijd om lekker aan het knutselen te zijn. Ik ben bezig om een poppenhuis te pimpen als muizenhuis voor in de winkel. Verder haak en brei ik veel en natuurlijk ben ik ook aan het quilten. Voor de winkel zijn we ook begonnen met het maken van een weblog. Ook hebben we een webpagina en een Facebookpagina. Kom dus eens een kijkje nemen op : Onze website
This is a little bit of something I'm doing for The Studio, a yarn shop where I work. (www.thestudiokc.com) This was an interesting experiment. It's hard photographing with an emphasis on the garment when you're used to the emphasis being on the person. I hope not too much got lost in translation.
When you start a yarn shop, you may be tempted to carry as many varieties and colors of yarn as possible. You'll also need to carry a variety of supplies. However, carrying too much inventory can place a financial burden on your yarn shop. Target your purchases toward your potential customers and the voids in the ...
