Store Hours Change

Dear Patron Saints: Thank you for your interest, involvement, curiosity and willingness to share in the brave new adventure called Off the Beaten Path Yarnhouse (OTBP). Thank you for all the feedback, kindness and support in making this one of the most innovative yarn shops in our area! Because of the help and feedback provided, OTBP has been able to bring in wonderful yarns never before seen and now enjoyed. Willingness to try new yarns and patterns has been essential in getting to know whether they will be trustworthy as well as beautiful. The world isn't just about wool anymore; although a good wool cannot be beat! OTBP now brings Louet's Riverstone here in gorgeous, soft, reliably feltable colors!

Over the last 2 years, OTBP has learned a great deal; especially about its Patron Saints (customers). You're open-minded, helpful, kind to others, understanding and easy to know. Many have shared their projects, time and been patient with our newest knitters. Some are designing and teaching! Groups have grown and many have been with us since day one! Thank you for the referrals and friends sent!

While dedicated to local, family and global fiber companies who are industry leaders and going green, we are also striving to improve OTBP's footprint as well. OTBP will begin new hours reflecting what has been learned over the past two seasons. It will allow us to conserve on clerking hours, heating, air conditioning and lighting resources; all of which can be translated into NEW YARNS!

A traffic pattern has emerged and there is clarity about when most knitters come to visit and shop for yarn and/or inspiration. Most show up between 3 and 8 PM on Tuesday; Noon to 8 PM on Wednesday and Thursday; and Fridays and Saturdays between 10 AM and 4 PM. Folks are always partying between Noon and 4 PM on Sundays. These hours will now be OTBP's "Official" seasonal hours of operation. Summer hours may vary.

However; to those of you who must shop during the other hours, OTBP feels your needs are just as important and will honor appointments on an individual basis. Coming in from out-of-town or out-of-state? Give a call on the appointment line at 608-279-KNIT (5648) and reserve a time. Please leave a name, number and desired time of shopping. Safari(s) are welcome! 48 hours notice and a confirmation number is required.


Classes will be scheduled and held during "off-hours" by appointment. Candace Eisner Strick will teach here on December 9th and 10th before speaking at the Madison Knitters' Guild on December 10th, 2007. Sign up early as space is limited.

Groups may also meet during "off-hours" by calling the appointment line.

We are beginning a new chapter! We hope you will all remain on board and let us know how we are serving your needs personally as well as a community.

Happy Knitting!!
