Lewiscraft is closing in Canada

Hi

Here is some information. Lewiscraft has been bought by the Bentley
group. The store was informed Thursday morning via e-mail that they
would be closing within 90 days. Signs in the stores went up Thursday
afternoon. 30% off everything except Christmas which is 70%.

I am been going in and picking up lots and lots of yarn in the last
couple of days. Right now is when I find out how much DH really loves
me. I have now gone to 5 stores and have picked up yarn in everyone of
them.

Yarn is going extremely fast so if anyone wants some they better go
very soon.

Sorry that they are closing, but even sorrier that I won't be able to take
advantage of the sales. :-(

Hi Katherine

I can probably help with that it's within the province for mailing.

Hmm, I never thought of that!

Best think fast...the stores here are losing stock quickly. I was in
there about an hour ago (yes, slap me) and there's a big difference
from when I was in on Friday. I can stuff an express post envelope
full of whatever you want and shoot it off to you. They have a small
selection of sock yarn, Shetland Chunky, various different bernat yarns
and lots of Berella 4. Plus some assorted stuff in their clearance
bins. And other crafty stuff too; I got a whole bag of beads and wire
to crochet with today.

Isn't it amazing how quickly stock of yarn is going out of Lewiscraft.
I think part of it was due to there being limited stock to begin with
and now people are figuring they better grab what they can get. I know
I was going to be very good but once I saw stock going quickly I
decided to get the yarn that I wanted.

Same here, with beads. They're going fast, so I grabbed what I loved.
None of their yarn really struck my eye so I've left it for now.
Perhaps by next payday

Hi the

You are so lucky that your Lewiscraft stores have stock to actually get rid
of.
I remember going there not too too long ago, wanting to purchase yarn for an
afghan. I had a few different patterns (different yarns) that I could use
and our stores (2) in the Niagara Region did not have sufficient yarn/dye
lot to complete any of them sigh. Not even the stores combined (some from
each store)!

Any self-striping sock yarn?

This is a common issue we come against in our stores. People complain
that Michael's or Lewiscraft are selling the yarn a few cents cheaper,
and you ask them why they did not purchase it there, and they reply that
they did not have enough of one dye lot to do anything. Duh! Yes we
charge a few cent more sometimes (sometimes we are cheaper), but we
carry large stocks and that costs money.

Hi Darlene,

Thanks for the heads up! I went to the Square One Lewiscraft today and
picked up 4 skiens King Cole Luxury Mohair, 6 skiens of Berella 4, some
needles and other odds and ends. I am trying not to go too crazy, as I want
to hit the Spinnrite sale this weekend.

FYI: This location still has quite a bit of yarn left, for those in the GTA!
