Ravelry in-store pattern service

One of the most challenging parts about running a LYS is deciding which patterns to carry.  It's difficult to predict what kinds of patterns customers will want in any given season.  We want to offer you a wide variety of things to choose from, but we don't want to end up having to put a lot of unsold patterns on clearance.

Well, today we're pleased to announce that we've teamed up with Ravelry to offer you a wider variety of pattern choices than ever!   That means thousands of patterns from participating designers are now available for purchase here at Sheepish, on demand.

Just a few of the patterns you can now buy at Sheepish.

Here's how it works: let's say you see the model of the Flyaway Vest that's hanging on our wall and decide you want the pattern.  We'll pull it up on our Ravelry shop page and with a couple of clicks, boom! Ravelry will send the pattern .pdf to your email and/or your Ravelry library.*

We'll ring up your pattern like any other merchandise, so you can buy your yarn, needles, pattern, and notions all at once.  So convenient!  If you're a member of our rewards program, these pattern purchases will count toward your rewards total.  And you can feel good about supporting your local yarn shop and independent designers.  EVERYBODY WINS.

We're really excited about being able to offer this service for our customers and hoping it will be very useful for you all.

*For a small fee, we can also print the pattern for you here in the shop.
