And was she a rock star!!!! Cheryl arrived just as the store opened, which was a good thing since she had a van filled with models and yarns! HEATHER helped us unload and sort, and we surrounded ourselves with the goodies as the store filled with program participants. We were spellbound as she told the SCHAEFER YARN story:

The models helped everyone see how fabulous the designs and colorways knit up:

And the piles of yarn on the floor dwindled as everyone was able to shop!

Cheryl advised, explained, and helped throughout the day:

Best of all, she left her pattern designs with us. How beautiful are her yarns and patterns? Lew stopped by after his golf game, took one look at everything on the floor and said “BUY IT ALL.” We have enough ANNE, PATTY, SANDRA, ELAINE, NANCY and LAUREL to get everyone through the next couple of weeks, and more is on the way. (Needless to say, Cheryl drove home this morning with an empty van). If you weren’t able to come to the program, stop by soon and check out the yarns, models and patterns. We are convinced that SCHAEFER YARNS is a standout among the hand-dyed yarn companies, and Cheryl helped us see why. Best of all? She has promised to come back when her book is published to sign copies for all!
