Thank You!

 Happy New Year!

    I wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU to everyone who helped us get through 2021. 

    Like many small businesses, K&S faced a number of challenges over the last year. From Covid closings to personal struggles, we touched on almost every gamete of the "to close or not to close" decision scale.

    Without the support of our landlord, Winberg Construction, and stupendous volunteers like Molly and Ann, K&S would have certainly closed its doors. 

    Throughout 2022 Leanne and I hope to make some noticeable changes to the business. 

    First, we have decided to move away from carrying products on a consignment basis. While we support stocking fiber and yarn from local vendors, the negatives outweigh the positives for both the vendor and the shop. 

    Second, we will be studying trends in foot traffic and adjusting hours to match demand. Like many small businesses with limited staff, we hope to optimize our in-store and on-line sales. 

    Third, we hope to diversify our product offerings. From notions to fiber, we are evaluating what our customers want and will strive to meet that need.

    Fourth, Leanne and I are making a valiant attempt at updating our web site. We had hired a guy to perform this task, but he got too involved in writing a book or something so it got placed on the back burner for awhile. 

    Last, we want to apologize in advance for any days we may NOT be open in the future. Due to Covid protocols and personal struggles we are forced to close on occasion, but our web shop is always open.

    Again, thank you all for your support during these trying times. We look forward to serving you and your fiber needs in the new year!

    Warren & Leanne
