The mission of That Yarn Store is to provide a neighborhood hangout nook for both seasoned knitters and crocheters and for those just starting out. We offer workshops, groups, comfy couches, and of course quality yarns and supplies.

Introducing the owners and workers of That Yarn Store:

Lily:
This is Liliane Sage, also known as Phred. She grew up on the mean streets of Borneo and likes to dress in Aqua Marine. She is the grit in your fries. She enjoys James Dean, movie theatres, card slaps and death traps, and how playdoh smells. And soda pop, just because that's a funny name for it. Calisthenics is a hilarious word, in the eyes of Liliane Sage.




















Noah:
Noah was born and grew up on the streets of Borneo. He has since been caught, domesticated and house broken.














Thea:
Thea was born on the streets of Bornio, approximately 2.8 cm west of Borneo. Thea learned how to knit while still in the womb, much to the chagrin of her mother. At age one hour Thea knit her first pair of diapers, which was much harder than you would imagine considering the fact that she had no control over her extremities. Nothing worth mentioning happened for the next twenty years. She is now living in England and is continuing to nothing worth repeating.








David:
David Orozco is considered by many, well by a very few, to be one of the world's greatest authorities. He is committed, and in fact will insist on sharing his knowledge with you.
Mr. Orozco was orphaned at an early age by a freak philatelist accident. He was raised by a group of roving itinerant Los Angeles hairdressers who refused to drive. He was forced, by necessity, to make his own clothes with only chopsticks, bits of lint, and hair. He shares his thus acquired knowledge of yarnery with you. His hobbies include writing about himself in the third person.
After 3.7 decades of nearly total monastic study, Mr. David Orozco holds an Associates degree from Absorbine Jr. College.




Jessamy:
Jessamy is just an in-law. She claims she was born on neither the streets of Borneo nor Bornio, but is instead from Ipoh. She really did teach herself to knit using chopsticks and was once stabbed to the bone in a freak knitting accident involving size 3 double pointed aluminum needles, a chest of drawers, and a ringing telephone. Nevertheless, she is glad to get out of Catholic school teaching and is now studying in England.








Frannie:
I knit, therefore I am.















Sarah:
Sarah, the matriarch of the group, is pictured sitting amidst the group, basket in hand.
On the run from youth’s indiscretions and sorrows, Sarah wound up in Los Angeles with a boxful of letters and drawings of pomegranates mostly, and the trunks of trees. A stint as a taxi driver in Boyle Heights, a headful of unkempt hair dyed red, a greedy curiosity for the world's great stage, which one day featured a band of itinerant hairdressers who refused to drive. Their beautiful nephew cut her hair and changed her life. What came after is the story of her life with David, Frannie, Thea, Hana, Max, Noah, and Lily, a rabbit named Benjamin who lived to be ten, and a phantom golden retriever named Moss who will be here soon.
