My storefront has been open for business since November 4th, 2006 and has been well received. We carry Brown Sheep's Lamb's Pride, Nature Spun, Prairie Silk (recently discontinued) and Burly Spun yarns; Southwest Trading Company's Gianna, Pure, Amaizing and Karaoke yarns; Cherry Tree Hill's Superwash Merino DK, Potluck Bulky, Silken Mohair and Merino Lace yarns; Blue Ridge Silk Works various hand-dyed sock yarns and needle cases; and a few Garden Party yarns handspun by Juaquetta Holcomb; as well as local productions through consignment. If I don't have the color or the particular line of yarn you are looking for from any of these companies, I can order it for you. While we do not carry spinning equipment, yet, we do have various spinning fibers. There are handpainted rovings of superwash wool and also of 70 count merino; handpainted silk from Cherry Tree Hill; rovings of alpaca, shetland and a generic wool that is great for dyeing. There is washed mohair and plucked and clipped angora bunny.
We also carry a selections of books and magazines from Interweave Press. The magazines include Spin Off, Interweave Knits (also the special editions when they come out) and Interweave Crochet.
We offer classes in: beginning knitting, crocheting and handspinning; make a beanie/cap and learn to use a circular needle and double pointed needles; socks; mittens; gloves; and a lace scarf. New classes will be added in the coming months.
