History
LYS opened in the fall of 2008. Wendy Ellis, owner, brings years of professional retail experience in galleries, shops & cooperatives to the yarn shop. She also brings her own rich background in textiles & love for knitting & handwork to the task of creating a friendly shop & meeting place for knitters. The 21st century is as fertile a ground for knitters as any time in history--so get your needles out, let's cast on!
