Stepping into StevenBe is like wandering into Wonderland,
delightful colors surround you and surprises are around every corner. You’ll be
greeted like an old friend, invited to partake in hot tea or freshly brewed
coffee (Steven’s own blend!), and shown some of our favorite projects and yarn.
Here at StevenBe, the only thing more fabulous than Steven
is the yarn selection. We carry all the gorgeous hand paints like Madelinetosh,
Malabrigo, Three Irish Girls, Zen Yarn Garden, and Freia. We love the color
play and rich depth from our favorite hand dyers and we’re discovering new ones
all the time. Our employees are color experts and happy to help you choose just
the right combinations.
But, of course, in true StevenBe style we also have the
fabulous fibers that make you swoon from Be Sweet, Habu, and Shibui—yarns that
you can form, shape, and fuse (Fiber Fusion, anyone?) into unique creations
with to-die-for texture. Steven’s specialty is creating unexpected combinations
of fibers that make a knitted fabric with characteristics from the component
yarns. Come in for a consultation and he’ll be happy to help you create your
own Fiber Fusion project—or at least add some glitter!
We love companies with a conscience, too. Be Sweet, whose
yarn is showcased in Steven’s Cabled Ponchini featured in last fall’s Knit
Simple, supports job creation for women in South Africa. Knit Collage,
purveyors of amazing handspun art yarns, employs uneducated women in India. Frog
Tree Yarns works with a cooperative in Bolivia that creates alpaca yarn and trains
women to hand knit scarves and sweaters. Our coffee is supplied to us by the
Velasquez Family, a fair trade coffee plantation in Honduras with local family
ties.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2013 Shop Hop—knit
happy and glitter it up!
