Bummer...

Yesterday was a sad day for me, I found out that the shop where I learned to spin was closing, I went there to say good bye and Karen the owner was packing up stuff.
I'm so sad to see her business fold, it's a lot of hard work to keep a business going (I know this because I own my business too)
Karen (the owner) is such a generous and good woman, she works a full time job during the week and afterwards and on weekends she was at the shop.
This place was in business for a long time, long before all the new and trendy yarn shops we have around now, I took my spinning class there and learned about fleeces, carding, all the different fibers and also dyeing.
She will still do shows and teach workshops, but I'm sad, really sad she doesn't have a retail space any more.
I wish her well and hope she can continue to be in business even if it is at a very small scale.
Life goes on...
I'll leave you with some handspun fresh off the wheel.
