Thank you to all of the wonderful people who have come in looking sad and given me a hug and for all of the sweet emails that you’ve sent with condolences of closing. I appreciate you all so much!
This has been such a fun and learning experience for me and i definitely have plans to continue in the yarn business and one day open another storefront.
Thank you!
Dear Customers and Friends,
Today, we write to you unfortunately, with sad news and good news:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, it has become apparent that the current local economy is insufficient to support our location at 132 E Street in downtown Davis. This however, does not mean that our services to knitters, crocheters, weavers, felters, and hand-spinners will disappear.
The sad news is that Knitter’s Playground will be going out business as a retail storefront; the good news is that Fiber Elements will remain in business moving it’s inventory back to the original location. The last day of business operations will be Saturday, Oct. 27th and the inventory at the Mansion Square location will be packed up and moved out by the 31st.
The address of Maria’s Studio in Fairfield: 407 Oakwood Drive. Feel free to contact Maria at 707.863.7370 or Maria@FiberElements.com. Maria will add more of her inventory to her existing online store at www.FiberElements.com.
Please note that Knitter’s Playground will continue online with whatever inventory is left after the sale and with the ability to special order for customers from select, understanding companies. Feel free to continue contacting Rebecca at knittersplayground@sbcglobal.net and continue to phone the Knitter’s Playground phone number – 530-759-8816. Also, please check www.knittersplayground.com often, where you will soon be able to keep track of inventory, classes, knit nights, and yarn/tool needs.
Thank you all so much for your constant support, friendship, and fun & happy company.
Maria and I would like to continue knit nights, classes, workshops, and whatever services we may reasonably offer. We would love your input as to the most affordable and comfortable meeting locations. In any case, the sales will start immediately so please stop by and stock up! I will also be increasing the store hours to include Sundays during the month of October –
40% – at cost sale starts today for
Knitter’s Playground inventory;
And up to 35% off select Fiber Elements inventory
We will only be able to accept cash and checks for the weekends of Sept. 27-30th as the CC machine will be at TKGA with Maria.
Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing any fixtures as well!
Thank you for making us part of your lives!
