Announcement - Lincraft Stores are Closing

Did you hear the news?

Lincraft are closing their doors after 80 years.

Stores won’t close immediately but will be closed progressively over the next few months.

It appears they’re going to transition to an online store only.

I don’t know about you, but I prefer to go in store to buy yarn.

I haven’t shopped at Lincraft since they closed my local store years ago.

Will these store closures impact you?

I don’t have Lincraft stores where I’m at, but I’m sorry they’re closing. I know what you mean about preferring to go in store to get yarn

We don’t have those where I am. I hate that for you though. We have no local craft stores where I live. Online is convenient, but sometimes you need to be able to walk in and feel the yarn. That tells you a lot about how it will glide across the hook and your finger, how firm or soft your end product will be and how it will settle, etc. Plus, you walk out with it immediately. Instant gratification! :grin::grin::grin:
