OUR
LOVELY LITTLE SHOPPE Welcome
to JenningStreet Yarns! On
September 15, 2003, JSY
opened it's doors for the first time. Located
on the northeast corner of S. Jennings Ave and Daggett St, this historical
building still stands as a testament to South Fort Worth commercial
business. Built in 1908, the Bicocchi Building's first floor housed
storefronts including a grocery store containing the first electric fan and
electric toaster in Fort Worth. The second floor contained residential
apartments. The 13,000 square foot building was converted into office
space in the 1980's. Notably, its cast-iron piers, high-skill brickwork,
cast-stone trim and the cast-stone ornament (top center) were state-of-the-art
in 1908. The Art Nouveau is of a womens head and is thought to depict the
builder's daughter - Sarah Clothilde Bicocchi Jenkins. Our lovely shop
occupies the corner at about 1200 sq. ft. of the most gorgeous yarn from all
over the world. Because this building is on the National Registry, there
are tin ceilings, etc. that retain the beauty and nostalgic presence and which
also must be preserved. We love that Old World artistry and charm. 
Historical BICOCCHI building is home to JenningStreet Yarns. 
The
day before our Grande Opening on SEPTEMBER 15, 2003. (No! It's not a flower
shop.) 
Our
Shop - NOVEMBER 2007. Flower pots were traded out for Yarn
Baskets. That's better! 
AND,
OF COURSE, EVERYONE IS WELCOME! (These
pictures are just a few of our most recent guests.)

When
you're coming to our shop for the first time, just look eastward for our hanging
yarn baskets. 
We
