Broken Window Sale 15% Off
Last week one of our front windows was smashed in a random act of vandalism – a big piece of metal was thrown through it, destroying the glass. The vandalism cdoesn’t seem to be hate motivated (unless the perpretator had a resistance to reflective materials or coziness). We were really lucky, nobody was in the store at the time, and nobody was hurt. There was a lot of broken glass inside, and the store samples on display in the front window will have to be disposed of, but most of the glass debris was blocked by the needle displays in front and very little of our inventory was affected. Our insurance company has been very supportive and helpful, but unfortunately, our deductible is higher than the cost of replacing the window and the destroyed merchandise, so we have to pay for it out of pocket.
To help with the unexpected dent in our cash-flow we’re having a one-week Broken Window Sale! Take 15% OFF Sandnes Garn Cashmere, and take an EXTRA 15% OFF Nordic Eco Cashmere DK and Manos Del Uruguay Alegria Grande (both are already 20% OFF) from Tuesday Nov 3, 2026 6:00 am to Monday Nov 9, 2026 11:59 pm.
