    AN ARRAY OF YARNS and brightly-colored handcrafted glassware draws the attention of passersby to Yarns, Glass and More … at the Aroostook Centre Mall. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held earlier this month, hosted by the Presque Isle Area Chamber of Commerce. Present for the event, from left, were: Chamber members Stacy Shaw and Billie Brodsky; Tony Burgess, business co-owner; Theresa Fowler, PIACC executive director; and Chamber members Floyd Rockholt, Nancy Fletcher and Gail Clukey. The newest business to open at the Aroostook Centre Mall  offers a variety of options for local crafters, from all the supplies necessary to complete a knitting project and have it wrapped for Christmas or perhaps create that one-of-a-kind glass centerpiece in time for a New Year’s party. Yarns, Glass and More … held a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this month hosted by the Presque Isle Area Chamber of Commerce, following a soft opening at the end of October. Owned by Tony Burgess and Glenn Capps, of Fort Fairfield, the facility features a wide array of knitting and crocheting products, from yarns to hooks and needles, as well as handcrafted glassware.Formerly located in Fort Fairfield, the business partners decided a move would allow them to better serve a wider market.Business hours are the same as the mall’s: 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday-Saturday; noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
