All About Yarn in Coon Rapids is a new shop for the 2013 hop!



All About Yarn is in it’s eighth year of business and my name is Roxanne, the proud owner of our Coon Rapids-based shoppe. Most people call me Rox at the shop and when you visit and check us out as part of the 2013 Shop Hop, I think you’ll find an exceptionally friendly, warm and helpful environment. We have a beautiful fireplace setting in the center of the shop where classes are held nightly and fiber enthusiasts likeyourself can sit and enjoy. My staff and I love new knitters as it just seems like yesterday we were just beginning as well.

In the beginning there were four of us, who opened the shop, each of whom brought something different to the table and to our customers. But after six years together change was in the air and with the support of my family and friends I decided to keep All About Yarn going.

As a new owner one of my goals was to bring in new yarns to enhance our selection ofspecialty yarns and I think the shop’s selection of Madelinetosh and Malibrigo is second to none. Another highlight of the shop are the classes we offer, specifically our very unique “Pick your own Project” classes which take place each day (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and (6 p.m. to 8 p.m.) as well as Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. Each class is a mini social group in which many long term friendships have been developed. Whether you become a new member or have been coming for years, teaching help is provided on as many projects as you desire.

I am very excited to be part of the 2013 Minnesota Shop Hop in April for the first time and I look forward to meeting you! If you have never been to All About Yarn I know you will enjoy your visit. Each shop has something new and different to offer our and we are always changing by adding new yarns, patterns, accessories and samples!

It is definitely ALL ABOUT YARN up here in Coon Rapids. I welcome you and hope you become a shop regular!
