Beginning Weaving

Curious about weaving? Want to give it a try? We will be offering a very basic Rigid Heddle Weaving class here at the shop in March, April and May. In this one time class, we will show you how to warp a rigid heddle loom and start basic weaving. Pictured here is the Schacht Cricket loom that will be used in the class and some scarves woven by Shelley and Ann. Imagine making your own custom fabric out of your stash! We also have the new DVD companion to the The Weaver's Idea Book by Jane Patrick in stock. Check the newsletter and calendar for class details and dates.

Franklin's Visit

We were very honored to host the delightful Franklin Habit for a book signing at the shop this past Thursday! We enjoyed getting to know the author of It Itches, a book full of whimsical and funny knitting humor and cartoons.

Today Franklin was back to teach two workshops: the History of Lace Knitting and Photographing Your Fiber. Both were very enjoyable and informative! We've offered up the best weather we could think of to a traveler from Chicago and hope that Franklin will come back and visit us again! Visit Franklin Habit's website at The Panopticon.

Support Ovarian Cancer Research

We just received a shipment of Skacel's Trekking XXL sock yarn in the Suzanne colorway. For each skein purchased, Skacel will donate $10 to the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. Twisted Yarns will match Skacel's donation, so the entire cost of your purchase will be going to help subsidize research into finding an early detection test for this insidious disease.
