Project of the Month: Cedar Leaf Shawlette

We are excited to announce our first Project of the Month! Each month, Warm Hearts Yarn will feature a different project to inspire our customers. All month, customers will receive a 10% discount with the purchase of the pattern, as well as the accompanying yarn.

Our Project of the Month for April is the Cedar Leaf Shawlette, a fun shawl/scarf that is perfect for spring weather. Our sample uses the beautiful Cestari Island Collection yarn, but any sport or dk-weight yarn would work well. The body of the shawl is knit using short rows, and the lace is knitted-on at the end. We look forward to helping you get started and seeing your creations!

Customer Appreciation: 10% off Purchase Total!

As a Spring Break "thank you" to our customers, Warm Hearts Yarn will be offering a 10% discount off of purchase totals on Friday, April 10th and Saturday, April 11th. We appreciated your understanding while we took a few days off over spring break. Thank you!

Classes this Week

Skill Building Block #1 – Just Knit

The 1^st block in our skill building set takes garter stitch and gives it a twist. Working with two colors on a cable needle you will change colors each time by slipping the stitches to the other side when needed to access the other color for a unique texture and color effect with only the knit stitch.

We will be focusing on a new skill every two weeks and learning it by making small (36 stitches x 50 rows) blocks. Skill building blocks can be used for many purposes. Sew them together to make afghans, pillow covers or even sweaters. Make them longer for scarves. Do them in cotton for dishcloths or facecloths. The possibilities are endless.

Date: Tuesday, 24 March from 4:30 to 6:30

Instructor: Heidi Narum

Fee: Free – no registration is required.
