Notes
This is actually the Cabin Fever sisters' showroom and is open Monday to Thursday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. We're just two sisters, so if we're doing a show somewhere else, we're not there! If you're visiting from afar, it's best to call or email us, in advance, to make sure we're there for you.
Deb Gemmell has a Wednesday afternoon drop in session from 1:00pm to 3:00pm during the winter months to help individuals with their current projects. It's casual and social and a relaxed way to learn new techniques or try out a new project knowing that help is right there for you.
They have all the Cabin Fever patterns, books, yarns & kits plus a small selection of other yarns and books.

Hidden gem! Not easy to find, tucked into an industrial complex, which is appropriate indeed for the showroom and office of Cabin Fever. Once you find it, you are in an Aladdin's Cave of patterns, samples knit from the Cabin Fever patterns, and yarns. Some yarns specified in their patterns, some unexpected yarns. Semi-solid kettle-died yarn in a heavy fingering weight caught my eye -- great twist for socks and fantastic colors. Whimsical pins/brooches made by a local artist are amazing.
This is where Cabin Fever operates. Orders are shipped out to stores, and UPS brings in huge cartons of yarn. You are shopping in a space that serves other functions and is not a LYS alone. The first time I tried to shop here, the lone person on duty had gone out to the post office and left a note on the door, and I had to wait for her to return to open up again. Worth it to me to wait; next time I will phone ahead to make sure it is a good time to visit.
