Holiday shopping days are coming to a close, but we still have some wonderful gift ideas for the yarn enthusiast in your life! |

Every yarn enthusiast needs bags - lots of bags! We have a great selection from Emma Ball, as well as locally made bags, and the new Duo Tote from Lykke. |

UPCOMING CLASSES:
Berroco Mystery Knit-along Blanket Workshops: Starting in January, join Amy on the second Saturday of each month in 2025 to learn new skills while making a beautiful blanket. Each month, you'll receive the patterns for 1-2 new squares (20 squares total) that you can work on independently, or you can join us in the workshop for hands-on help. Workshops will be $15 each month and are drop-in (no need to pre-register). If you haven't ordered your MKAL Blanket Kit yet, you can find more information here: Berroco Vintage MKAL Blanket Kits.
Building Blocks/Building in Color/Building With Lace is back for 2025! This is a drop-in skill-building class that is held on the 3rd Saturday of the month. More information can be found by clicking here.
Beginning Knitting is a 3-session class to teach you the basics of what is sure to become a life-long passion. You'll learn to cast-on, knit, purl, increase and decrease, and bind off. By Class 3, you'll be ready to start your first project! The next available classes are on Wednesdays, March 13, 20, and 27, 6-8pm. You can sign up online here, or call or stop by the store.
Thursday Night Drop-Ins continue! Join us on Thursday nights from 6-8pm for social knitting, crocheting, or whatever portable fiber craft you're working on! You're welcome just to come in and shop, too! Thursday, Dec. 19 will be the last drop-in for 2024. Join us again in 2025!
