Lila and Claudine's

The sisters tell the story of how Lila and Claudine’s came to be.
.

"While we were sitting on the stairs to the lower level of 86 Mahtomedi Ave, a friend said “Why don’t you open a yarn store here?”  After swallowing hard,  our response in unison was we could never do that.  There was just no way.
.

But the seed had been planted and over the next few months the yarn shop began to take on a life of its own.  Yarn was ordered and shelves were filled.
.

Then magically, we opened the doors of Lila and Claudine’s Yarn & Gifts, named after our grandmothers in March, 2009.  And we have been blessed with the most awesome customers ever since.  Thanks to all who have supported us.  We are having so much fun."
