Retailer Spotlight: Spun

Kelbourne Woolens is primarily a wholesale distribution company, and we are so grateful for our retailers! We're taking time this spring and summer to feature our shops. Next up is Spun, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan! 

Get to know Spun:

1) In 3 words, why do you carry KW?
Something for everyone!

2) Favorite local small business in your area (besides your shop, of course)?
We are very fortunate to be part of the community at the historic Kerrytown Market and Shops.

3) What is your favorite KW yarn?
It depends on which staff member you ask! Lucky Tweed would probably get the most hands in the air.

4) Favorite obscure knitting or crochet technique?
Portuguese knitting is saving Spun staffer Aurora's hands.

5) Podcasts or books? (Bonus points if you share your favorite)
We are book readers, on balance! None of us could name a favorite, but we do have a little free library at the shop that sees a lot of action, from staff and customers alike.

6) When did your shop open and why did you decide to open a LYS?
We opened in 2015. Ann Arbor was ready for a new, great yarn shop. We wanted to create a welcoming place where people could gather in creative community; lots of drop ins, trunk shows, and fundraising events.

Thanks for sharing, Spun!
