CONWAY — Cheryl Chute and Zoe Weisenkail have started living their dream by opening a yarn store.
“It has been my dream to do this my entire adult life, but I didn’t know it was also my sister’s dream until I started putting the dream into words last summer” says Weisenkail. “As soon as the words were out, Cheryl said ‘I’m in!’”
