Shop Updates- June 2020
I am making some changes to our pickup window and store hours starting next week. After three months of this and only three days away from the shop, I am in need of more structured time away. The new hours will be Tuesday through Saturday, 12-5 PM.
I know many of you are disappointed, but we have no current plans to reopen the shop for in person shopping. Despite the easing restrictions on how businesses are allowed to operate, there is no indication that it is any safer to reopen now than it was three months ago.

CLOSED to the Public
We love our community here at Freeman’s Creative, and we want to do our part to keep everyone safe and also well-stocked. I feel responsible for the health and well-being of both our customers and our employees, so as of today, we are cancelling all classes for the remainder of the month, and closing the shop to the public. We are working on getting our inventory online, so you can shop from home, and I will be in the shop from 12 to 5 during our normal days of operation (Wednesday through Sunday) for phone and email orders.

Freeman’s Creative breaks that rule in carrying not only yarn, fabric and embroidery supplies, but also art supplies and products for screen printing.
