Our Staff:

Bambi Tracy is a wonderful knitter of 12 years and has years of fiber arts retail experience.  She's great at helping you find that just-right project and picking out colors for you!  Mary Rollins retired from nursing and LOVES to knit.  She's been knitting for about 7 years.  Mary is wonderful at answering any knitting questions you may have!  Martha Dragic learned to sew at an early age, and took up knitting when she retired about 6 years ago from the MU Law School faculty.  She has experience with garment construction and fit, and loves working with the colors and textures of yarn.  Vickie Spain has been knitting for over 35 years and has worked in a couple of our local yarn stores between teaching jobs.  Before opening Castaway Yarns, she taught junior high Mathematics and Science, tutored Mathematics at Columbia College, then earned her PhD in Mathematics Education and taught Education classes.  She loves helping customers decide what they would like to knit, what yarn would be a perfect fit for their projects, how to knit, and assisting when knitting problems arise.  WE ALL look forward to seeing you in the shop!  :-)
