Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop

“All About Yarn” is in its ninth year of business and located just off Hwy 10, taking the Foley Blvd exit.  www.allaboutyarn.biz 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 2014 Shop Hop or any other time, 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 daily and fiber enthusiasts like your self can sit and enjoy.

I am very much a “hands on owner” as I teach what I believe to be a unique type of class called “Pick your own Project” 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 and I consider them to be a highlight of the shop. Each class is like a mini social group in which many long-term friendships have been developed...and whether you become a new member or have been coming for years, teaching help is provided on as many projects as you desire.
Not only does All About Yarn feature a huge selection of yarns, needles and accessories but we have lots of samples too. I also send out a “Weekly Update” full of  “Show & Tell” photos and pattern links that you can register for on my website or “like” All About Yarn on Facebook as I also post it there.

This year’s theme for the hop is a scenic landmark and local color. I chose a view from our family cabin, which represents Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes. The fun will be to see how each shop’s selection is incorporated into a special yarn and pattern of their choosing.

I am very excited to be part of the 2014 Minnesota Yarn Shop Hop, April 10-13 for the second year and I look forward to meeting each of you! If you have never been to All About Yarn, I know you will enjoy your visit, as each shop has something new and different to offer our.

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