Shoppe news

Summer and Holiday Hours
CLOSED FOURTH OF JULY
The shoppe will be closed on Saturday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
FRIDAY NIGHT FIBER FUN
We will NOT be having Friday night happy hour over the summer. This Friday, May 29, will be the last Friday night we will stay open late until fall.
Starting Friday, June 5, we will close at 5:30 on Fridays.
Take Our Poll!
We've been struggling to decide what brand of yarn to carry for baby and children projects.
We've had only mixed reviews on Berroco's Comfort DK, Plymouth's Encore DK and Peter Pan DK.
So we want to know your favorite washable yarn!
Email us your pick, or reply to our poll on the Ravelry group.
For each suggestion, your name will be entered into a drawing to win enough skeins of the new yarn that is selected for the pattern of your choice in the color of your choice.
Join Us on Ravelry!
If you're on Ravelry, please join the new Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe group.
There is already a Knit-along forming and other fun topics on our discussion board.
Also, this is a great way to share your finished projects with us so you can be featured in the newsletter.
