MEDINA & MORE RESTOCKING
Monday, June 7, 2021 – MEDINA & More Restocking
TAP IS BACK! Now that the Stay-At-Home-Order has been lifted for Ontario, we are now able to offer “window shopping” and TAP at the door, once again.
We will continue to be OPEN for CURBSIDE PICK-UP ONLY (even after June 15th), with no in-store shopping. We thank you for your understanding and support.
To stay updated regarding how we are operating under the re-adjusted regulations, please visit our website homepage.
We have lots to share with you again today! We’ve been busy, yet again, restocking!! That is what we will begin with in today’s email. And then we will move onto a wonderful cotton blend yarn, called Medina, that is ideal for summer garments & accessories. But it is also a great yarn to wear year ‘round! And to go along with Medina, we will of course share some project pattern ideas designed specifically for the qualities of Medina yarn. So....let’s begin!
