Upcoming Classes

Open Classroom for Children: Wednesday, January 9th, 1:30-3:00p.m.
Fee: FREE Instructor: Katie Brousseau

Does your kindergartener through sixth-grader need help with a crafting project, especially one that is fiber-related (knitting, crochet, embroidery, felting, sewing, etc.)? Or perhaps just some inspiration? The classroom at Warm Hearts Yarn will be dedicated to helping the budding fiber enthusiast during the above date and time. Katie, a co-owner of Warm Hearts Yarn and former elementary-teacher, will be available to help your child during this free open-studio time. Please bring your projects, questions and enthusiasm!


Equinox Sweater: this is a two-session class: January 12th and 26th, 10am-12pm
Fee: $30 includes pattern Instructor: Doris Prokop Limit: 8 participants

The Equinox Sweater is a favorite pattern from Interweave Knits' Knitscene. The entire sweater is knit from the top-down, there is no purling and no seaming. It is the perfect beginner's sweater! Of course, all levels of knitters are welcome, but this is a great project for those ready to move on from scarves and hats. :)

As per instructions from Doris, the best yarn to purchase is that of 50% or higher of animal fiber (wool, alpaca, etc.). This helps with blocking and counteracting the rolling of hems. We at Warm Hearts Yarn are happy to help you find a great yarn for this sweater! All yarn purchased specifically for this class will receive a 10% discount.
