The new shop!!!

We are open in the new space!!! πŸ˜€ We are now Great Balls of Wool but greater! Bigger! With more stuff! πŸ˜€ We are also Gallery 101 now too πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’› We have art! So far we have four artists showing and we are looking for more as time progresses but for the moment we are not going to put out a call for artists just yet. Soon. We have a TONE of wool to unpack and organize first. We moved in just two weeks altogether with the bulk of the move being done over two days. So as you can imagine we have so much unpacking and sorting to do still. However if you have art you think we might be interested in feel free to come and talk to us. So far we have these artists showing, Adam Cramb, Felicia Joseph, Belinda Fogarty and Katrina Marie Craig.

This is one of Felicia's paintings. You might recognize it from her recent article in the Powell River Peek. She is an up and coming young artist who paints abstracts.

 The first picture on the blog is of three paintings in the Loopy Lounge that are by Adam Cramb. He is also in the window. His paintings are multi-media pieces that incorporate many mediums and found objects to create, bright colorful dynamic abstracts.


Below you can see our boutique arrangements with art in them by two artists. The center window has gorgeous acrylic pour paintings  by Belinda Fogarty. The first and last windows have small multi-media landscapes in them by me... Katrina Marie Craig. I also have a four larger paintings in the shop. All of them multi-media landscapes.

 Here you can see a lil peak at the window display I created for the shop. It's just meant as a teaser. To get the full effect I'm hoping you will pop by and check it out. Then maybe come in and hang out for a while in the Loopy Lounge. πŸ˜‰
Here is a peak at the all new and improved Loopy Lounge! It's much bigger. Please feel welcome to drop by and check it out. Maybe hang out and knit with us!

This is the view from the front door you can see the sock yarn display on the far right with the Malabrigo and Galway in the center.
This is a little snap shot of the front desk. Very colorful with one of my landscapes above the till. Also out beautiful shop warming plant given to us by Patti Newbury.
This is our new needle display that Brenda organized and put together. Plus all the notions. A peg for everything and everything on a peg! You would not believe how different it looks. Brenda did and outstanding job. It really is so easy to see everything now. Petra was a great help too, she unpacked a huge amount of yarn!

So that is a quick peak at the new shop! It's really great to have so much space. So much more stock on display. It's so much easier to see what we have. And we have a lot of stuff!

I'd like to take a moment to say a HUGE  Thank you to all of our lovely volunteers!!! You made moving a breeze. Without your help it would not have been possible to move so quickly. So Thank you from the bottom of our
πŸ’— HEARTSπŸ’—
We really have such a sweet, generous, supportive community. πŸ˜‰

So that's the low down on our new location!
Come see us!
Until then
πŸ’–Happy KnittingπŸ’–
