Dear Friends and Customers,
After twelve years owning Patricia’s Yarns, I have
made the difficult decision to accept a full-time position at a New York
City-based textiles company. Although I am excited about my new career, I will
greatly miss Patricia’s Yarns and, especially, all of you. Patricia’s Yarns is
more than a local business, it is a wonderful community of the best people in
and around Hoboken.
To celebrate (yes, we will celebrate!) our twelve
years in business, we will be holding our final sale. All merchandise will be
discounted, we will have treats, raffles, give-aways, and hugs (lots of hugs).
So stop in between now and April and save on all yarns, books, patterns,
needles, samples, and notions (hugs are free).
The celebration sale will begin Thursday March 10th
with all merchandise a minimum of 30% off.
Many people may speculate why I am leaving. I want to
be clear, it is not because of you (you are wonderful and have always supported
me); it is not because of rent (I signed a long-term lease); and it is not
because “Hoboken is not business friendly” as I was recently told (on the
contrary, Hoboken was the perfect place for my 27-year-old self to start a
retail shop). In short, I have accepted an incredible job that will allow more
nights and weekends with Adam and Grace (and Riley).
Thank you so much for your support over the last
twelve years. I look forward to celebrating with you in the coming weeks.
All the best,
Patricia Scribner
Owner, Patricia’s Yarns
