Fall Sale

Last week I received about 300 pounds worth of new yarn from several different companies (I owe our UPS guy--perhaps some fingerless mitts?). It's been like Christmas for me opening all of the boxes, but I did overestimate the amount of space I have to display it all in.

So, for this week, September 24th through September 29th, all yarn is 10% off! This is a great time to check out what's new this season, get a head start on holiday projects, and/or pick up something special for yourself. We're happy to help you with project ideas, and many of the yarns we carry have free online patterns to complement them.

Happy Fall!

Crocheted Basket Class: Saturday, September 29th, 1-3pm
Fee: $20 Instructor-Britton

Description: Come join the crochet fun while making good use of old bed sheets! We will rip bed sheets into one long strip and begin to crochet a large basket from the sheets. Beginners welcome, although some basic crochet skills are handy. A basic pattern for the basket will be provided, and a how-to for ripping sheets. Some old sheets will be provided to get started, but you will need to supplement with your own in order to finish the basket. Bring your own sheets if you have them, and a huge crochet hook. A finished basket is great for storage, as a laundry basket, a cat bed, or whatever you may need a large soft basket for!
