We also have discounted shelves in the back. Everything on those shelves, except for the handspun/hand dyed yarns are discounted by 20%. Currently, those shelves include Cascade's Aereo and Aereo Duo yarns.
Aereo and Aereo Duo yarns are a nylon tube with merino wool and baby fibers blown in which creates an insulating yarn with plenty of loft. The unique tube construction makes cables and textured stitches pop.

What to do if a train is stopped on the tracks at Columbia and you are trying to get to Peg's
As soon as you realize that a train is stopped (not too hard to do when the traffic is backed up AND cars are turning around), you need to do the following:
Turn around and go North on Columbia to Cook Road (there is a light). Turn left on Cook Road to Fitch Road (the next light). Turn left onto Fitch to Bagley Road (the next light). Turn left onto Bagley to Columbia. Turn left onto Columbia. You will probably see the stopped train but you will be on the right side of the tracks to find Peg's in Grand Pacific Junction, which is on the left side. Turn left onto Mills Road (by the Grand Pacific Hotel) and enter any of the drives on the right. Ta da!
To do at Peg's
Knitting Lessons
Knitting Lessons are by appointment only. Please contact Mary Lynn at 440-570-3601 and leave a message. She will get back to you as soon as possible.
Knitting lessons cost $45 and include the materials.
If you already know how to knit/crochet/spin, you don't need lessons. If you have questions regarding any of your projects, please stop in or call. We would be happy to help!
Peg also offers spinning lessons. YOU MUST BRING A SPINNING WHEEL WITH YOU.
What about the trains???
Please be patient. Both the City of Olmsted Falls and the Olmsted Township governments had been trying to resolve the issue. Bottomline, the Federal government doesn't care that a train may be blocking a yarn lover's path to their yarn!!
However, if you have any "pull" with the feds or Norfolk/Southern railway, please feel free to make your angst known!
On occasion a train can be a problem.
Sometimes, and fortunately, not daily and sometimes not even weekly, there is a Norfolk/Southern train stopped on the railroad tracks just North of Grand Pacific Junction, which means that a train is stopped just North of Peg's.
As soon as you realize that a train is stopped (not too hard to do when the traffic is backed up AND cars are turning around), you need to do the following:
Turn around and go North on Columbia to Cook Road (there is a light).
Go west (make a left) on Cook Road to Fitch Road (the next light).
Turn left onto Fitch to Bagley Road (the next light).
Turn left onto Bagley to Columbia.
Turn left onto Columbia. You will probably see the stopped train but you will be on the right side of the tracks to find Peg's in Grand Pacific Junction, which is on the left side.
Turn left onto Mills Road (by the Grand Pacific Hotel) and enter any of the drives on the right. Ta da!
