Did you know that Heidi's Yarn Haven is now Purple Needle?
The name is a shoutout to California's state grass, a native bunch grass that grows deep roots and promotes the health of plants' and animals' communities it lives in. ๐พ๐ (How fitting!) And of course, the new shop name also references various needle types in all sorts of crafts.
You've probably seen the new shop owner, Meredith, before. She was the brain behind Heidi's social media presence, and could often be found working in the shop photographing yarns and filming fun videos.
Don't worry, Heidi isn't going anywhere! She's still an important part of the team. (So is Purl the pup, of course! ๐พ)
Give Purple Needle a follow, and be sure to visit them up in Ukiah during the hop!
