I Love Yarn
How I Love Yarn found it’s new home in George.
I Love Yarn formerly founded by Elaine van Wyk was established & built as a reputable business selling natural yarns with many valuable and loyal clients over the past 7 years. After closing it’s doors in Pretoria in March 2019, I Love Yarn maintained an audience of more than 6 000 Likes on Facebook hoping for a chance to one day be reopened.
Meanwhile in George Western Cape a newly renovated old heritage building containing a coffee shop, yarn shop, photography & art studio was in the making. The renovation was done with great passion by Carel & Ronel. They love to grab at opportunities they see and spark new ideas from it. The employees are valuable assets and each one brings this whole venture to life with their own unique expertise and passion.
A Yarn Boutique was opened beginning 2019, specialising in natural yarns. This was a great combination with the coffee shop as people can knit & crochet while they have a coffee. One of the shop’s regular clients, Avril had the brilliant idea for I Love Yarn to be revived. Avril Pretorius introduced Elaine and Ronel to one another and the mutual love & passion made it an ideal opportunity for I Love Yarn to have new home in George Western Cape.
