Hello,
I’m Helen
I am the proud owner of a local yarn shop located in Ormond Beach, Florida.
I’m excited to take this opportunity to share happenings around our shop. There is always an opportunity to learn something new and I am in the unique position of meeting up with so many talented people in the fiber world to learn from.

I thought it would be fun to offer some friendly advice based on the many questions we get from stitchers just like you.

Let’s connect
Join the fun!
