Ready, Steady....not quite going yet

I have always wanted to own a yarn shop but being very risk averse, have never had the courage to go for it.. also having three small children hasn't given me much time either!!  Anyway, a few weeks ago I got chatting to some of the people I know with stalls at Princes Risborough market and after some pushing from my husband, I phoned the Market Manager and decided I would take a stall on a Thursday to sell wool.  Since then I have been running around sourcing stock, baskets to display it in and trying to market myself by telling everyone I see about my new venture, and trying to persuade them that they should take up knitting as a hobby........ummh think I have become a bit obsessed.
Anyway, I launch next Thursday and will be selling fairly traded alpaca wool from Manos Del Uruguay, a womens' co-operative, and from Artesano.  I have birch needles from Brittany, a company based in California and plenty of patterns.  Any wool from Manos and Artesano which I don't carry on the stall can be ordered and I will deliver locally or the order can be picked up from me.  All the wool ranges can be seen on the Artesano web site
http://www.artesanoyarns.co.uk/   and I will have samples of all the wools and colours on the stall.
I will also be stocking a small range of Sirdar wools particularly for baby and toddler knits and metal needles and crochet hooks.

Please come and see me if you are in Princes Risborough on a Thursday and say 'Hello'.  I have to say that I'm not looking forward to the cold and have invested in plenty of thermals and a huge flask!
