Uptown Fibers closed its retail store in May 2011. The local economy was a huge factor in lower-than-necessary sales figures, along with the natural downtrend in the craft that usually happens after an 8 to 10 year revival period like we had during most of the 2000’s. Also,the inability to compete with internet offers, like free YouTube classes and giant yarn discount companies, added to the shifting of purchases away from the LYS to other sources. My vision and business plan for Uptown Fibers could not survive in this environment.
Now, the remaining stock of luxury and classic yarn, designer buttons, patterns, needles and notions are being sold via internet and email only until the final stock is liquidated in September 2011 at a one-day craft show in Toledo, Ohio. Watch for details. The show is on Sunday, 9/18 from 10-4 at Gladieux Meadows on Heatherdowns.
During the next several weeks, items will be posted for sale in lots (lots cannot be separated) priced below my original cost. Please call my cell phone to purchase stock. The phone number can be obtained from our answering machine or from the sale flyer notices. Shipping is available if buyer pays shipping costs. Pick up at the store is available by appointment only. Payment is to be made at time of order. No holds, no returns, no exchanges. All sales are final
Payment accepted: Credit/Debit cards, or Pay Pal for sales via Ebay or Craig's list.
