RETAILER FOCUS WO O LW I N D E R S WOOLWINDERS Both stores also stay busy with an active schedule of events such as supplier trunk shows, special workshops with local and national designers as well as tastings of new yarns from regional producers and hand dyers. Rowan trunk shows and events are scheduled to keep Woolwinder’s yarn-savvy customers always looking for future projects. From the beginning, Janet and Mark knew that they wanted to build the established Rowan brand in both stores. Working with their regional sales rep, they began to add new lines and take advantage of Rowan’s publications and marketing to promote the brand. By the TNNA trade show in June, 2018, Woolwinders was close to becoming a newly designated Rowan Flagship store. With the new Fall 2018 yarn additions, they attained this goal for both stores and celebrated with a party for Rowan’s 40th anniversary at the end of September! Located in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, Woolwinders customers love to knit with lightweight wools like Rowan Felted Tweed and the new Rowan Moordale. They also love the tran-seasonal appeal of Softyak DK and enjoy knitting yarns together with Kidsilk Haze for a gentle, warm knit. With a large range of Rowan yarns and enthusiastic staff and owners, Woolwinders offers two great options for knitters in their area and as well as online at www.woolwinders.com FLAGSHIP STORE Newsletter April 2019 | Spring Summer 33
