Designer Yarn in Sandy, Oregon, is owned and operated by Sherri
Anderson, who has been an avid knitter for over 20 years.
After 20 years of experience in Graphic and Web Design for a
global company, with the last years working from Portland for the
corporate office in the World Trade Center, September 11, 2001
forced a change in careers. Remembering her manager/friend
who died that day, Kathryn Lee, who was a high-powered,
extremely hard working, intelligent woman, deeply touched Sherri
when she had mentioned opening a yarn store some day. Kathryn
smiled in a completely calm and thoroughly happy way and said "I
used to have a yarn store. Those were happy days." Because of
busy lives the topic never was brought up again. Through many
tears, yet encouraged by what her friend had said, the long-time
dream for Sherri became a reality.
Sherri was born and raised in Portland, with horses and friends in
Sandy. Sherri opened Designer Yarn in the quaint town of Sandy
and continued her love of colors, textures, and designs in March,
2004.
Designer Yarn is located in Sandy, Oregon along the beautiful
scenic route of Highway 26 between Portland and Mt. Hood, a
favorite year round recreation area. Designer Yarn provides
knitting/crochet supplies for many customers from surrounding
areas only minutes away such as Portland, Gresham, Damascus,
Boring, Corbett, Eagle Creek, Estacada, Welches, Mt. Hood area,
and even Bend.
The shop is quaint and cozy which inspires visitors as soon as they
walk in the door. Once inside, visitors are surrounded by gorgeous
yarns, both classic and trendy, in an abundant array of colors.
Beautiful knitted garments are on display throughout the shop to
spark creativity.
Sherri and the knitting/crochet/spinning teacher, Leza Hayes, love
to knit and share their excitement with others who do too! Leza has
also been knitting a wide range of projects for over 20 years. She
is a great and patient teacher. Classes at the shop are all "Open
Project" which means you can learn the basics, start to create any
knit/crochet project, be in the middle of one and want help, or just
want to know how to seam a sweater. Click on the "Classes"
button to the left for details.
Sherri and Leza invite you to come in and join
the excitement and fun!
