Piedmont Yarn & Apparel

It is the time for great changes and so it is my pleasure to announce that Piedmont Yarn & Apparel will be changing hand on July 1st, 2014. The new owners will be two of my long-time employees: Celia McCarthy and Pamela McKinstry. Piedmont Yarn & Apparel will maintain the same name; will stay in the same physical location with the same phone number, the same website address and same employees.... We are working on a smooth transition with the foundation in place from where Celia and Pamela can add their own creative touch and style to a new and refreshed image of Piedmont Yarn & Apparel. We are all very excited and I hope you will welcome them with the same level of support that you have offered me. Thank you for all of your support over the past 7 years. It has been a tremendous pleasure doing business with everybody. Celia and Pamela will close the store for a few days 7/1 through 7/4. They will open again Saturday, July 5th at regular hours and then have a 7pm to 9pm reception as their grand opening. Best Regards, Bente Petersen
