Personal Training Sessions - Any day, any time

If you want to learn a new knitting technique (think socks, mitered squares, entrelac, stranded knitting), just call the shop and make an appointment with one of our staff for a personalized lesson in exactly what you want to learn, when you want to learn it – $20/hr; and 20% discount on yarn, patterns, and needles you use in your session.

Spinning classes
Kathy Halton will lead an intermediate spinners' class for folks who have mastered the basics of spinning, but want to have more fun and be able to create their own yarns on Sun. April 6, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Participants will card wool both by hand and on a drum carder, mix colors and use different natural fibers (silk, alpaca, mohair) to experiment and play with making different yarns. We will learn about producing balanced yarns, spinning singles, and assessing what kind of yarn we have produced. Bring your own wheel, or borrow one from a friend.

$60/person includes lunch, class materials, and teacher’s notes. 20% discount on books and supplies.

Coming soon
Motorcoach trip to Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, May 3-4. Deadline to register will be April 3. Call the shop for details.
