About Wooden Spools
Fiber arts: Fabric and Yarn, Quilting and More – are what you will find at Wooden Spools, 2805 South Broadway in Englewood.
Owners Sally Black and Vicki Skigen were inspired to create Wooden Spools, which they smilingly call “ a fabric revival”, after a conversation about how expensive their hobbies had become. They also realized how much money is spent on fabric that just ends up sitting on shelves “to be used someday”. So, at Wooden Spools, they buy quality cotton fabric (by appointment) and offer it for sale. Their selection is amazing.
“We’re green” Sally said, “We are creating an opportunity to revive those fabrics that were fondly stashed away”. These are quality fabrics offered at about half the price of retail. An added benefit to bringing discontinued fabrics back into circulation is that you may find that additional piece of needed fabric to complete a project that you started years ago. We all have a few of those “UFO’s” – (Un-Finished Objects).
The Wooden Spools idea expanded when they found a way to offer additional fiber art resources at the same affordable prices! Just arrived is an extensive selection of fine yarns. Just as with the fabric – you’ll find out of production colors and styles – in addition to current selections all at hugely discounted prices. Their inventory is ever evolving – so you’ll want to visit often.
Wooden Spools offers group classes as well as one-on-one coaching. They will help you to design and create a custom quilt, and offer longarm quilting services in the store.
In the few short months they’ve been open, Wooden Spools has become a warm and welcoming spot for quilters, knitters and crafters to gather and meet others. Oh yeah, and they have cookies and tea also!
